Migrating 3.x DataSources (UD Connect, Web Service) 

Use

To take advantage of the new concepts in a data flow using 3.x objects, you must migrate the data flow and the 3.x objects it uses. 3.x XML DataSources and 3.x UD Connect DataSources cannot be migrated in the standard way because the 3.x objects are created in the Myself system and in the new data flow the DataSources need to be created in separate source systems for Web Service and UD Connect. However, you can nevertheless “migrate“ a 3.x DataSource of this type. This involves copying the 3.x DataSource into a source system.

Prerequisites

The UD Connect source system and the Web service source system are available.

The UD Connect source system uses the same RFC destination, and therefore the same BI Java Connector, as the 3.x DataSource.

Procedure

...

       1.      In the original system (development system), in the Data Warehousing Workbench, choose Copy in the context menu of the 3.x DataSource.

       2.      On the next screen, enter the name of the DataSource under DataSource.

       3.      Under Source System, specify the Web service or UD Connect source system to which you want to migrate the DataSource.

       4.      Delete the dependent 3.x objects (3.x DataSource, mapping, transfer rules and any generated function modules and the Web service).

       5.      Transport the DataSource and the deletion of 3.x objects into the target system.

       6.      Activate the DataSource.

Result

When you activate the Web service DataSource, the system generates a Web service and an rfc-compliant function module for the data transfer.

When you activate the UD Connect DataSource, the system generates a function module for extraction and data transfer.
