Hi AS

Is it a standard SAP content (service interface and mapping) or is it custom?

If it's standard, you can check out the links I mentioned in the following thread for DTE

If it is custom, just add the fields in the data type and then update the mapping.

Hi,

If you add any new field or edit any existing field then in the mapping for the newly added or edited field mapping will be disturbed and that need to be mapped accordingly.

Better make a copy of the existing message mappimg and then do the changes.

Thanks,

Newly added fields will not disturb the mapping.

Also, there is always a version history for the mapping object. IMHO copying the mapping into another object just unnecessarily adds clutter to the ESR plus the new object does not retain the version history.

If you don't change the existing mapped fields if you only add the new fields then the mapping will not have any impact, you can simple do the mapping for new fields.
