Hi,
Segmented DataSources (DataSources with several different record structures, such as header or item for documents) are to be handled in the next NetWeaver release. It is already technically possible to define segmented DataSources, but transformations cannot handle them automatically. This is to change with the next release.
Based on these new features, the next release will also provide new capabilities for the requirements of hierarchy uploads. For example, complex files with immanent information of hierarchy structures will be interpretable during upload scenarios.
Segmented DataSources support a customer defined number of segments, each segment can have a diffrent structure. This type is only supported for WebService source systems in the moment.
Hierarchy DataSources support the special BW Format for Master data hierarchies which can be several segments like in the SAP System case.
So segmented DataSources can be freely defined and hierarchy DataSources have the special hierarchy format.
Thanks,
Rajesh.
