Inactive Datasource in RSA6

[Former Member]

Dear All,

Some datasource in RSA6 is showing as how can I activate them to make them ,

The issue is when I am trying to extract data in RSA3 it is giving error like, "Error Occurred during extraction".

My datasource.

I have tried activating the datasource from the main menu, from RSO2 also.

Thanks

Thanks Raman for the info, I would have not found the solution without your info.

Below link has helped me to resolve the issue.

Releasing Extractors for use by the ODP API - Enterprise Information Management - SCN Wiki

From this link I found the program to release my datasource for ODP.

Program Name : RODPS_OS_EXPOSE.

Hi Vijay,

Seems like that symbol green or red is not related to data source active.

its related to ODP which comes thru BW 7.4 version. please refer note 1558737 .

Even there are two more discussions about the same here.

please search and get them.

Use search key as "Icons / Symbols within SBIW DataSource tree".

About error - Based on data source you may need to activate data source related business function at SFW5.

About business function, please check with your functional team.

Thanks

Hi,

Can you try to re install using rsa9 again , and then activate in rsa6 and check if datasource is avaliabe in rsa5 

Do you get any error on rso2

Dear Bhamini,

I have already tried activating it from RSA6 & RSO2, but nothing happens, and since it is generic datasource so RSA9 will not help.

Thanks

I am sorry, i missed out that it is generic datasource.

what is it based on ? Table, FM ?

Do you have selections ?

May be a look deeper in the 'log' in rsa3 of the extraction error will help .

[Former Member]

It is based on view, and no selection and anyway selection doesn't matter because in RSA6 only it is inactive.

[RamanKorrapati]

Can you check each step and activate it.

if data source was inactive then it won't pull any data.

Try to activate your generic data source at RSO2.
