Does Alpha Conversion work in new Release(SP14-16)?

Hi guys,

we have problem with Alpha conversion:

we have an InfoObjekt, which includes an alpha conversion, but error occur with data loading in BI, when we have data value like "123", it can not be converted to "000123". Instead that, an error occurs and the data can not be loaded, we have to manuell change this value and then load...

Is this because of new release (we have this new release since Feburar 2008)?

Any hint is appriciated.

Regards,

Liying

Yes, it does work still.

Make sure that in the infosource (transfer rule), that the conversion flag is set for the infoObject.

Hi matt,

thanks very much

I have checked the transfer rule, the flag for this infoobject is not set. So I think it is the problem.

I will test it and tell u tomorrow.

Hi Matt,

I have tested it, but the problem is not because of the flag, so I am now again helpless...
