Selection field on Infosource

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have this field in a Z infosource, that I need to turn it into a Selection Field, so I can use it as a filter in the Infopackage. How do I do that?

I enter using SBIW, but it doesn't let me check the selection check button.

any help?¿?¿?

Hello Mauricio,

To make a field as selection field from datasource you need to make changes in OLTP side.

Go to rsa6->datasource name->edit->mark column selection for required field.

If this check box is grey and not allowed to change, then you can write a simple ABAP program in SE38 to achieve this. The code should contain this statement

Update ROOSFIELD set SELECTION = 'X' where

OLTPSOURCE = 'datasource name' and

FIELD = 'field name' and objvers = 'A'.

Hi Mauricio,

If the Source System is Flat File, then you need to do it in Data Source only, not anywhere else. Here, go the Data Source --> Transfer Structure --> Check the Selection Box here for the infoObject you want.

If its R/3 Business Content extractors, follow Praveen's logic.

If the Source System is BW itself, go to RSO2 in BW and give the name of the Data Source. Click Change button and Save Button. You will know what to do once you come here.

If the Source System is R/3, then follow above method, but in R/3.

If the Source System is DB Connect, you need to select in

RSA1 -- > DB Connect Source System --> Open Views and select here.
