How do I change the transfer method?

[Former Member]

Hi all;

I have installed one infocube from Business content, and it doesn't have any trans. st. or trans rule the transfer method is IDOC instead of PSA, I am guessing that's why I don't have trans st. but I would like to change that to PSA and want to assign a data source. when I click on the assign DS button I don't have the required data source that I need for this trans st. on the list. There are couple of data source on the drop down list when I assign and activated it works but when I push the green button and come back from the transaction and go there again. I don't see any trans. st. it's the same I had before transfer method is IDOC again. Could anyone please help me here. thank you in advance.

Hi Sajita,

first of all you need the DataSource from the Source System (activate and replicate to the BW system), then in the InfoSource/ DataSource assignment (InfoSource maintenance) you can change the transfer method by clicking on the PSA radio button (except the DataSource is not PSA enabled).

The datasource in the source system are activated and replicated but I can't see them on my list. don't know why?

Hi Sajita,

perhaps you don't see your datasource (when you try to assign it to an infosource) because in your system this datasource is already assigned to another infosource !

Check this in RSA1->source system->double-click on your R/3 source system and then try to find your datasource in the tree on the right side...here you can also check if this ds is already assigned...

let me know..

Hi Sajitha,

When installing the cube from the business content did you select the trasfer rules and the update rules also?

We need to select these also when we install and we can select in data flow before in order to get the structure till the cube level.

Sajita,

what's the error that occur when you try to reinstall all your objects ?

But, have you checked as I suggested where is your datasource assigned ?

From the little you say, I would guess that you have created a lock or somekind.

- try logging off and then log on again

- Delete the transport request (or only its contents relative to the cube and objects your trying to reinstall, if you know how to)

- Sometimes deletions takes a while to complete, so don't do the following tasks in too much of a hurry (a holiday is good but not always necessary).
