Renaming source systems

[Former Member]

Hi BW consultants,

We are planning to rename our ECC source systems.

We are evaluating impacts on BW target systems.

Is there a simple way that existing datasources / infosources / update rules (in dev, test and prd) are not lost and that we don't have to recreate them from dev and to transport them again?

Thank you for sharing your experience on that subject.

Regards,

John

Hi,

Yes you can do that..... Check the Tcode BDLS it will solve your problem.

Hi Ravish,

One of the first statements in the documentation of this transaction is:

"Logical system names cannot be converted in productive systems."

Can we use this transaction for a productive BW system, despite of that?

The source system of our BW prod will also be renamed.

Hi Ravish,

I understand BDLS transaction can also be run in a productive environment, but carefully.

Thank you also for the document you suggested, it is full of useful information.

The documentation I'm speaking about is the standard documentation one can get by clicking on "Information" in the BDLS transaction.

Hi John Iron,

Make sure you apply all code corrections for BDLS before running it. There is a summary of the latest SAP Notes to correct bugs in this transaction.

Just keep in mind that SAP doesn't support BDLS in productive systems. If you face any error, you may not be able to count with SAP Support.

Hi John,

As Ravish told BDLS is the tcode being used for this purpose. You can execute this in Dev and check the impact.
