I need to add two more fields to the extract structure namely the USNAM and HZDAT both of which lie in the underlying CE1-XXXX table itself. I did the append structure with the ZZ* fields , but rsa3 still dosent whoe these fields. Is there something im missing or is there a way in COPA to bring these fields in the Datasource without appending the structure?
you are correct, than I would try to add the fieldnames to the append structure with their original name (hoping the extractor does a move-corresponding), if it not help I'm afraid you have to expand the extractor itself.
You <b>cannot</b> enhance a COPA datasource. You have to recreate a new one. Hope this helps.
I am not able to copy the link for this forum...but a brief search in the forums got me to the following post (Please note that the original author of the following text is Soumya Mishra).
Steps would be:-
1) Add the fields to the operating concern. So that the required field is visible in CE1XXXX table and other concerned tables CE2XXXX, CE3XXXX etc.
2) After you have enhanced the operating concern then you are ready to add it to the CO-PA data source. Since CO-PA is a regenerating application you can't add the field directly to the CO-PA data source. You need to delete the data source and then need to re-create using KEB2 transaction.
3) While re-creating the data source use the same old name so that there won't be any changes in the BW side when you need to assign the data source to info-source. Just replicate the new data source in BW side and map the new field in info-source. If you re-create using a different name then you will be needing extra build efforts to take the data into BW through IS all the way top to IC. I would personally suggest keep the same old data source name as before.

@manfred----- ill try giving the same field name and extracting, but im more concerned about the expanding part as ive tried expanding it and it dosent bring the fields.
@sudheer----the operating concern has the field and so the tables CE1-xxxx, ce2-xxx all have the fields in them, but im stuck because the datasource does show these fields for selection.
Hi, I think you ment transaction KEB0 to delete and recreate the DataSource. WIth KEB2 you are aible only to display Detailed Information about the DS, nothing more.
Were you able to resolve the problem of adding the HZDAT field to the Datasource. I have the same problem i need to add HZDAT which is in the table CE1xxxx but not in the Datsource.
