Identifying the relevant datasource

[Former Member]

Hi,

In my project, we have decided the necessary fields we would be needing. Now how do we find out which datasource contains these fields. Also how do we find out which ODS and cube to use.

Thanks,

Morpheus.

Hi

You know the tables frm which you want to fetch data. Based on tables you will understand the application under which these tables comes ,i.e. application like SD, MM ,HR etc.

then either u can go to SAP provided documentation of the datasources & cubes DSO to find out particular datasources which fetch data frm these tables.

or if these tables belonging to logistics application then go to LBWE & find the tables frm which datasources fetch the data

No there is no direct table which gives this info.

Approach followed in implementation proj is to find the DS based on what application build in R/3 or ECC system. Functional guys help in getting the tables & baes on that we need tofindrelavent DS as per I have earlier mentioned
