Copying the functionality of Standard Data Source to generic Data Source

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We want to copy all the fields from the Standard data source 2LIS_03_BF to a generic data source and the functionality of the generic one should be same as standard data source. Is it possible to implement in such a fashion. Please let me know the steps to create such a data source.

Hi,

goto RSA2 with 2LIS_03_BF; note its extract structure: MC03BF0.

Now you have to create your own structure with the same fields or just create a ZMC03BF0 structure with one component .INCLUDE of type MC03BF0.

Then create your own generic datasource using structure MC03BF0.

Your will then need to code your extractor in a function module.

Another option perhaps simpler is going to LBWE with 2LIS_03_BF and see in the maintenance of the structure the fields. Create a view based on table MSEG and a generic DS based on this or directly based on tale MSEG.

hope this helps...

Hi Oliver,

As specified by you, we have created a generic data source with extract structure(MC03BF0) and function module(MCEX_BW_LO_API).

When we are checking ucing RSA3, we are getting the following msg:

Errors occurred during the extraction. The DataSource does not exist in version A.

We have verified in the ROOSOURCE table and it is showing as Active.

Please suggest to proceed further.

Hi,

as I said, you'll have to code your own FM; you can't use MCEX_BW_LO_API which is standard; it just won't work...

Please let me know why aren't you just using the standard?

Olivier.
