0wbs_elemt_attr datasource

[Former Member]

Hi

I have some basic doubts about adding two fields to one datasource from R/3.

1.I have infoobject 0wbs_elemt whose masterdata is loaded daily midnight from R/3 based on master data datasource 0wbs_elemt_attr.I went into R/3 and doubleclicked on datasource in RSA6.Then I went to extract structure and saw that Delta Update checkbox is chosen.Does that mean this master data datasource is Delta Update?

2.Now I have to enhance this datasource with two fields.I know how to enhance and how to write code.My doubt is more about how to transport these changes in good order and actions that needs to be done after transport..

    1.Since datasource enhancement is on R/3 SIDE,do we have to transport R/3 changes first and then transport changes on BW side?

    2..I know that when datasource changes are done and transported on R/3 SIDE,we need to replicate.do we replicate before or after BW changes are transported?

    3.Is it enough to replicate only this datasource or do we need to replicate whole infoarea?

   4.what care do we need to take while doing changes and transporting since this datasource seems to be Delta?

   5.what care do I need to take interms of changes and transport since R/3 and BW are two different departments sitting in different cities eventhough they cooperate with each other?

Thanks.

Hi Simon,

.Does that mean this master data datasource is Delta Update?

This ds can able to support deltas but until  you initialized the delta infopackage it wont supports the delta load.

2.Now I have to enhance this datasource with two fields.I know how to enhance and how to write code.My doubt is more about how to transport these changes in good order and actions that needs to be done after transport..

    1.Since datasource enhancement is on R/3 SIDE,do we have to transport R/3 changes first and then transport changes on BW side?

1.After enhancement done successfully in the DEV ,Replicate the DS  in BW DEV as its structure was changed

    3.Is it enough to replicate only this datasource or do we need to replicate whole infoarea?

Only DS in the BW DEV. No need to IA

   4.what care do we need to take while doing changes and transporting since this datasource seems to be Delta?

   5.what care do I need to take interms of changes and transport since R/3 and BW are two different departments sitting in different cities eventhough they cooperate with each other?

2.Collect the Function  Exit (U written the Enhancement code)  and your DS in the Transport request , Then transport it to R/3 Quality or Testing systems.And  Now u can replicate them  into corresponding BW servers manually or u can transport from BW DEV to BW quality or testing.

After testing there u can move to your Production systems.

Transport Process:

1. Transport R/3 side

2. Manually replicate just the changed datasource from target BW system

3. Transport BW side changes

To account for the datasource being a delta update which WBS attr datsource is, you should do a full repair load  after all the transports are complete. There is no impact on the transport order to account for delta datasource.

Hope that helps.
