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,

Normally it depends on situation

1. If u are increasing normally there is no problem..

You can transport the objects into next system with data also. It will just give some warning

2.If u are reducing the length and try to send the object without deleting data all the transaction data it will fail for sure.

You can take a call based on what u are doing.You need to ask for downtime accordingly.

Thanks and regards
