Changing an infoobject.

[henry_jones]

I'm looking for advice on the best way to change the length on 2 attributes of 0WBS_ELEMT. 0WBS_ELEMT itself is rather large. In the past, I changed the lengths and transported. It took an extremely long time. Here are my scenarios:

1) just change the lengths and transport. (this takes a long time)

2) remove the attributes from 0WBS_ELEMT, transport 0WBS_ELEMT, change the attribute lengths and add them back to 0WBS_ELEMT.

3) create a transformation and set the 2 attribute values to null, then change the lengths.

any thoughts?

Hi Henry,

If the infoobjects are using conversion routine best thing is to delete the conversion routine adjust the length and then activate,

Then goto transaction RSMDEXITON and then put the conversion back on the object and activate conversion routine.

InfoObject Maintenance

Remove Alpha Conversion Setting

Change Object Size and activate in Background and transport the objects

Change Field Size in Transfer Structure

Change and activate it and transport it.

Re-Activate Alpha Conversion for InfoObject

See SAP Note 559524 to set up parallel processing for ALPHA conversion

Transaction RSMDEXITON - use Activate Conversion Routine

The below thread will be helpful,

Thanks,
