data services - function table structure not correct

[former_member334621]

Hello Everyone!

I am using Data Services to read a RFC from my BW system, which is defined as a "Source BW" datastore in DS.

After importing the function, i realize that the structure of the function is not imported correctly.

When i look at se37 in BW, i can see the correct structure of import table parameter:

and then looking at table E_T_GRID_DATA:

While in DS, E_T_GRID_DATA has only this "Line" component:

has anyone faced this and now how to import the correct structure ?

Thanks in advance,

Liron.

Hi All,

i have debugged FM /BODS/FUNCTION_GET and found where the LINE component is assigned:

in line 587, "PERFORM MOVE_IF_TABLES TABLES PRMTAB":

inside the perform:

PRMTAB-TABNAME = IF_TABLES-DBSTRUCT.

IF PRMTAB-TABNAME = SPACE.

IF IF_TABLES-TYPES = 'O'.

* The name was greater than 26 characters, could not fit in DBFIELD

PRMTAB-TABNAME = IF_TABLES-TYP.

ELSE.

PRMTAB-TABNAME = 'RSSOURCE'.

ENDIF.

* RAISE REF_STRUCTURE_MISSING.

ENDIF.

table RSSOURCE is the table type with the LINE component (viewed in SE11).

I went to look where IF_TABLES-DBSTRUCT is defined:

that happens in line 563:

CALL FUNCTION 'FUNCTION_IMPORT_INTERFACE'

EXPORTING

FUNCNAME = FUNCNAME

* IMPORTING

* GLOBAL_FLAG = I01

* REMOTE_CALL = I02

* UPDATE_TASK = I03

TABLES

EXCEPTION_LIST = IF_EXCEPT

EXPORT_PARAMETER = IF_EXPORT

IMPORT_PARAMETER = IF_IMPORT

CHANGING_PARAMETER = IF_CHANGE

TABLES_PARAMETER = IF_TABLES

EXCEPTIONS

ERROR_MESSAGE = 01

FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND = 02

INVALID_NAME = 03.

IF SY-SUBRC > 0.

RAISE FM_NOT_FOUND.

ENDIF.

but i can't understand the inside of the FM since all comments inside are in German.

one more interesting thing is that table IF_TABLES[], does contain row 1 where PARAMETER = E_T_GRID_DATA and TYP = /BIC/NE_2 - which is the correct database structure for my RFC.

the only problem is that the column DBSTRUCT is empty.

In a test SP13 system, the same RFC worked fine, so something worked differently, but i can't compare.

Regards,

Liron
