Enable the "Field Only" Check box in the dataource

[Former Member]

Hi ,

How can we enable the checkbox for the "Field Only" indicator. We had to change a DS based on infoset, so instead of changing the original infoset we have created a new infoset. However in RSA6 we are not able to activate the "Field Only" indicator for the fields the checkboxes are grayed out i.e we cannot edit the same.

Does any one have a idea if there exists a setting which will enable the "Field only" selection checkbox.

Hi,

Without any respect on the reasons why changing settings is disabled, you could try

to modify relevant table.

This sample would switch settings for all fields to be passed to extractor.

UPDATE: ROOSFIELD SET NOTEXREL = 'Y'
    WHERE  OLTPSOURCE = 'YOUR_DS'
    AND OBJVERS = 'A'.
*    AND FIELD =  FELD . "restriction for particular fields, if required

Hi Prashant,

From your Post following is what I understood.

Pre requisite : I have defined and appended Z fields to my extract structue.

1. If I have written code for some of these in the user exit then only it will show a field only check box.

2. If I have not written code in user exit for these custom fields the it will not show the field only check box enabled.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes your understanding from my earlier post is correct.

1. If I have written code for some of these in the user exit then only it will show a field only check box.

Yes, this options will be enabled for those filed which are being appended and using the exit code to get the data populated to the fileds.

2. If I have not written code in user exit for these custom fields the it will not show the field only check box enabled.

If no code and no appended fields are there then it will not show that option.

Once you appened the Z-Field then for that field by default the check mark will come irrespective of CODE in CMOD.SO you uncheck the same.

Field known Only in Exit will be enables for those filed which are appended to the structure of the data source for which you had written a piece of code in CMOD to populate the data for that appended or enhanced fileds.

Fields with this setting are not processed during standard extraction, but can be processed in customer exits, BADIs (Business Add-ins), or Business Transaction Events.
