A way to Find out Whether a R/3 field is already transferred to BW/BI

When executing a fit/gap analysis (are all necessary R/3 fields already extracted and transferred to BW), table RSOLTPSOURCEFIE can be used.















Within the selection screen you can enter, for example, R/3 field MATNR if you want to know in which datasources MATNR is used.

The screenshot below shows the overview of all datasources which use R/3 field MATNR:
To see, per datasource/transfer structure, to which infoobject the R/3 field is mapped, table RSTSFIELD can be viewed.





In the screengrab below you can see that R/3 field MATNR is mapped to infoobject 0MATERIAL within several transferstructures/datasources.

SAP R/3 or ECC DataSource Delta mechanism for SAP BW/BI What is Delta? It is a feature of the extractor which refers to the changes(new/modified entries)occured in the source system. How to identify? In ROOSOURCE table, key in the data source name and check the field "DELTA". If the field is left blank,it implies that the datasource is not delta capable. The field 0RECORDMODE in BW determines how a record is updated in the delta process. Now the question is how this delta will be brought to BW? Using one of the following ways: ABR: After before and Reverse image AIE: After image ADD: Additive image ABR: After before and Reverse image Example: Logistics What is it? Once a new entry was posted or an exiting posting was changed at R/3 side, an after image shows the status after the change, a before image shows the status before the change with a negative sign and the reverse image also shows the negative sign next to the record while indic
