Repliction of datasources from BW- FM RSAOS_METADATA_UPLOAD

Former Member

Hi Experts,

I created an export datasource for an info object in BW.

To allocate it to an infosource, I have to replicate it

(BW as source system and as target system).

When I mark a node in DS tree all DSs are replicated.

But I want to replicate just one specific DS.

There is a function module RSAOS_METADATA_UPLOAD,

that works properly, if source system is R/3, but doesn't

work if source system is BW itself. Any solution for this issue?

BW 3.5 SP SAPKW35021

Thanks in advance

Joe

Hey I didnt get this

You did export datasource for a infoobject fine.

Now this will generate infosource automatically with technical name 8* right ???

Now what do you mean by "To allocate it to an infosource" ???

Hi,

thanks for reply.

When I try to assign this generated export datasource to an info source in RSA1,system doesn't display it it in the list of available datasources. I have to replicate export datasource first and then it is displayed as available. But, as I mentioned,

I don't want to replicate all datasources in a node, but one

particular. After creation of an export datasource it is also

not provided in the data sources overview of the bw source system. This is regurlar, but If source system is a R/3 system I can successfully run mentioned FM to replicate DS. For BW as aource system this doesn't work.

Hello Joe,

this may be just a display problem in RSA1:

Please go to RSA1, Menu Settings->Display Generated Objects. The Radio Button should be on "Show generated ODS Objects". Only then the Infosource tree will show all the generated Providers.

I just wonder if this is where you are looking ? I never tried to use the "Source System" Tree to locate local data sources.

Kind regards,

Jürgen

Datamarts neednot be replicated, export datasource is equivalent to it.

Do as Jürgen Kirsch said and see if you can find in the infosource tab.

Hi Jürgen and Praveen,

Thanks again.

Settings for display are already done in suggested way.

Im speaking of an export datasource for an info object not for

an info provider. For info providers system creates complete

info sources in DM section automatically, as you mentioned.

I created an export datasource via context menu for an info object and in this case I have to replicate it.

HI,

Can you try with "RSDS_DATASOURCE_REPLICATE" function module? Be take are on providing parameters value as follows.

Import parameters Value

I_DATASOURCE 8XXXX "Char data source

I_LOGSYS XXXXXX100 " BI system logical name

I_APPLNM DM-IO " Data mart application componenet

I_SHOW_LOG X

I_ACTIVATE_RSDS X

I_PREFTYPE RSDS. " RSDS > data source & ISFS> 3.X data source.

Hope it solves your issue.

Hi Arun,

Mentioned FM is available in 70, not yet in 3.5. It also calls

FM RSAOS_METADATA_UPLOAD with extended parameters.

But you made me. think that I should vary the parameters.

And that solved my issue. When I replicate from ERP, it is sufficient to fill parametres I_DATASOURCE and I_LOGSYS, whereas in BW also I_APPLNM has to be filled.

Thanks a lot.

Best Regards

Joe
