some bw doubts

[Former Member]

Dear BW Gurus,

1. The [Preview] button in the infopackage's external data tab is disabled for flatfile upload. Can you suggest the reason for this?

2. I tried to edit the hierarchy node data via PSA maintenance. When I save the changes, bw says invalid parameters entered. Pls advice why this is so. Seems that PSA maintenance does not allow changing before further update to data target.

regards,

Adette

2.) you can edit PSA recodrs only when there is some error in it. i mean only if a red button is displayed beside the record.

Hi Adette,

After choosing an external file just press ENTER and a preview button should be enabled.

Best regards,

Adette ,

Also ensure that you specify the file format properly as to setting of .csv or Ascii format. and the data separators or you might get errors in the preview.

1) Preview button is enabled when the file is from the app server. If that does not work try to specify a file name and also select the option of immediate load.

2) Not sure - but I don't think that you can edit hierarchy node data.

PSA data can edited only if the request is not uploaded in any data target. Once a request is updated, it cannot be updated - even if the record hsa a red mark against it.

Hi aneesh!

if there is a red mark against it then this data will never be uplaoded in to a data target...
