Generic DataSource Extractor

[Former Member]

Hi:

I had a DataSource that was generated via a view. This view consists of 3 tables. Via RSA3 I tested it and things looked pretty good. But then I needed to add another field to the datasource. So, what I did was the following:

Deleted the datasource

Modified the View to add the new field

Re-created the datasource using the view and generate.

Then went to RSA6 and enhanced the data structure by added fields. Generated it again. Went back and unchecked the hidden fields and the user exit fields.

Modified CMOD to now reflect the new structure.

To test this, I ran RSA3 again and via debugging I discovered that the program that gets generated in function module RSA3_GEN_GET_DATA it still passing the old structure. Therefore my new field was not there and the data is no longer aligned. It seems that the new changes were not made aware to the function module.

Has anyone experience this? This sounds like an SAP bug??

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated!

Helena ,

did you initialize the DS from BW ?

then go to BW

Replicate the datasource and recreate the Transfer structure , this might be the reason why the structure has not yet changed.

Hello Arun:

Thanks so much for your help! Once I replicated the datasource in BW the generated program in R/3 brought in the right Structure.
