Enahancemnt of COPA Ds

[anita_prasanna2]

Hi,

I need to include Transportation Zone in COPA data Source.

The Abapers has appended the structure & that feild is availbale in the COPA data source.

But last time when i enhanced the COPA Data source , I deleted & recreated the DS with the same name & checked the newly added value feild in KEB0 Tcode.

But now the Transportation Zone i can directly see in the Data source.But if i check the same feild in KEB0 in display mode i cnat see that feild.

Just getting confused , as i know we cant enhance the Data Source directly, but how come the feilds from the append structure got included in the Data Source.

Regards,

Anita

Do you see the appended field in the datasource?

If the field is seen there then what is the problem.

To populate the Data into that field hope you have

written customer exit using CMOD.

After that uncheck 'hide field' checkbox and 'field

only known in exit' checkbox.

One more thing as it is appended field it will not be

seen in KEB0 transaction(as field is from other table).

Hi Sujatha,

Thanks for the Quick response.

Ya it will work fine.

No issues.But last time when i enhanced the Data Source , i deleted & recreated it.

This mean, if we do append stucture no need of deleting & recreating it just in RSA6 uncheck the hide column & it will be available in BW.

So why its said COPA data source cannot be enhanced, it needs to be recreated?

Here if once you have created the DataSource then

there is no possibility of editing it I think.

That doesnot mean that you cannot append the DataSource,

so you can enhance it by only appending new fields and cannot

include the more fields using KEB0.

Anybody else who can confirm Sujathas Statement

Yes Anita,

what sujatha is saying is correct---

You can only select the available fields in KEB0 T code. Once you have created , it is not possible to edit you need to recreate that is the only option--

But it can be enhanced in thr form append structure using CMOD exits

Hi,

Enhancing the data source from the characteristics of operating concern is different from append structure and populating it through CMOD code.

If you want to include new objects from operating concern then there is no other way but to delete the datasource and recreate it and then you will have to do any coding to populate those fields...

but when using CMOD to populate new fields then it behaves as any other normal data source.

The responsibilty is total your now to make the extractor work correctly through code for the new fields.

Also COPA data source now use the same delta mechanism as that of generic dats source..so its easy to maintain them now through append structures.

Thanks
