This chapter discusses how to add customer defined fields (CDF) in ODP models which has BW data source.

Prerequisites

You have implemented CDF support to the master data used in the ODP model.

Procedure

To add a customer defined field in an ODP model:

  1. Go to transaction RSA6, find your data source and choose Enhance Extraction Structure.

  2. Enter the structure name and choose continue to create a new structure.

  3. Enter the necessary fields according to the CDF definition. Make sure the field name completely matches the CDF structure. Now the BI structure should have the newly created structure appended.

    Note Note

    As the data source extractor always pass values according to the field name, normally this should work and return the CDF value in the data source. If not, check if the datamart is filled with the CDF.

    End of the note.

  4. Go to the ODP modeler, open the corresponding model and update the node. The newly appended field appears. Adjust the related settings and generate the ODP again.
