Hi Kumar

Are you a functional or a developer. Which infotypes to use is solely the question of the requirements at hand.

However most commonly used Infotypes are:

1000

1001

1002

1021

1024

1026

1028

1032

1042

1061

You can write BDC uploads for these infotypes using t-code pp02 however before recording go to maintainance view of T777I

and for a specific infotype un check the no maintainance check for specific objects you want to maintain for a specific infotype.

Remember 1000 is the basic infotype for creating all the objects and then 1001 is for relationship between the different objects. rest are the infotypes are like maintainance of attributes for different objects.

for example infotype 1021 is course fees and 1026 is course event language.

1042 is course type schedule and so on.

best of luck with your Data Migration Exercise. usually it is a significant part of a LSO project.

Hi Waz

Thank you very much for ur response.

Iam a functional consultant only ,but we had a issue of finding the infotypes to be uploaded .

1.I tried the T777I also there certain infotypes are not maitained Ex Availability Indicators i can do it by removing the Tick mark but i wanted to know why the std sytem not allowing to maintain certain infotypes directly.

2.Coming to infotypes upload ,1002 -subtype General Description -is it suitable for Course type content or Course type Description-certain infotypes are interlinked with the portal ,need some clarifications on this.

Could you please elaborate this Infotype -Course type Description,course Info,Training provide,Resources ,Delivery Methods.

Hi Kumar

Please see my response in italics:

1.I tried the T777I also there certain infotypes are not maitained Ex Availability Indicators i can do it by removing the Tick mark but i wanted to know why the std sytem not allowing to maintain certain infotypes directly.

T777I is there to stop anyone to maintain certain object types since if you maitain them in expert mode then you have to maintain their attributes manually as well. Certain transactions are used to create objects like Resources (LSO_PSVR). When you create a resource using LSO_PSVR, it automatically asks u to put in various attributes for a resource and so it remains consistent. But when u maintain it using PP02 and forcefully maintain it then u have to maitain its remaing attributes manually and one can miss certain infotypes to maintain. Hope it clears the above point.

2.Coming to infotypes upload ,1002 -subtype General Description -is it suitable for Course type content or Course type Description-certain infotypes are interlinked with the portal ,need some clarifications on this.

Well its upto You. you can see different infotypes and then decide it for yourself which one to maitain for course type description/content. For example I used general description to give an overview of a certain course type for portal users.

Could you please elaborate this Infotype -Course type Description,course Info,Training provide,Resources ,Delivery Methods.

Since LSO is not installed so I cannot see these infotypes however drawing from my memory.

Course Info(1026) tells u about the language of the course whether it will be english, dutch etc

Resources can be like projectors, books, Instructors etc

delivery method is quite important. It can be either class room training, static web based or web based training. Based on delivery method, you need to maintain certain attributes for example if it is a instructor led training then u need to create instructors and relate with a course event. Similary if its a web based event then u need to maintain a web link for a course in infotype 1061.

Training provider can be a company or a person. Internal or external they can be.
