BWA5 and RSA5

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to activate some master data datasources from CRM.

I am trying to figure out the difference between RSA5 and BWA5. Is RSA5 responsible for activating the metadata for the Service APi and BWA5 for the BW adaptor in CRM??

When i access BWA5 i don't see the data sources i activated in the list? Any clues why (i thought it is because they are master data datasources first, however i see other master data datasources in the list, but not mine).

Last question is what is the difference between BWA1 and BWA5?

Bye,

Xibi

hi Xibi,

rsa5 is to transfer/activate business content datasource, after transfer you can check them with rsa6.

bwa5 is used to activate 'delta' for crm datasource.

bwa1 is used for mapping fields in extract structure with bdoc.

check if the master data datasource (e.g 0bpartner_attr) you transfer with rsa5 is exist in rsa6.

as far as i can remember, master datasource won't need bwa5 and bwa1.

you can try 'replicate datasource' from bw, and then assign it to your bw infosource(or through business content installation, infosource and use 'in dataflow before', with your crm source system marked in 'source system assignment') and create infopackage and start you 'delta init' load.

hope this helps.
