BI Content collecting objects from wrong/old source system??

Former Member

Hi Gurus! Lovely day here on the westcoast of Sweden - springtime is coming!

I have selected an infosource for installation in trx RSOR. I also want to pick up some objects in the dataflow before and after that specific infosource. So I guess the system keeps trying to collect metadata from diffrerent source systems that we have assigned.

I don't know the complete history of the systems - other than it's a bloody mess. We have right now a ECC 6 system connected to BI - but before that we had an older version connected (I guess 4.x something) on a diffrerent server.

Somehow the collection process picks up some data from the ECC 6 system - but sometimes it asks for a login to the old system as well.

This is my problem. I don't have an issue with logging on to the old system - because I have all the necessary rights to do that. But I don't want BI trying to collect metadata from our old system. So somewhere there's a pointer of some sort to the old system that I need to delete....

The old system is not visible in the "source system assignment" view so I can't really find out where to change this settings....

Any ideas??

Hi,

Was this infosource or any of its related objects previously installed and still connected to the old system?

It's probably so. Would I still carry out the instructions Andreas gave me for checking this? Or should I just delete everything and do it all over again, just to get the connections straightened out?

I'm more or less the only one at this point using the system - as it is a kind of sandbox environment. So extreme measures is not a problem

I would advise to delete everything and reinstall them... I would edit those tables only as a last measure and if nothing else can be done... ( please feel free to debate me on this).

Hi,

check the entries in tables for old systems and delete them:

RSOLTPSOURCE, RSOAPPL, RSOAPPLT, RSOLTPSOURCET
