dear all
i have just created a new DSO SPO, all succesfully etc. however, i then realized i was not using an outbound infosource <xxxxx>_O, unlike my inbound infosource <xxxxx>_I, which did get used when i created a transformation.
also, i could only seem to create the transformation specific to the inbound flow.
when i checked infosources, i can see the outbound infosource, along with the transformations going in to it, but there is no target transformation for the outbound infosource.
when i try to create a transformation manually using the outbound infosource as a source, it tells me that it is inactive, whereas it does not really look like it is. also, i cannot edit it to try to activate it.
so all in all, i am little lost.
thanks

UPDATE: ok, well, i managed to create a transformation. in the end, i had to select the outbound infosource from the dropdown, and not type it in manually. so that sorted that out. take note: the outbound infosource is not displayed in the SPO maintenance, and neither are the transformations. unlike the inbound ones.
however, now i am on to the DTP, which seems to bring another problem. how to i use the SPO functionality to create the DTPs ?
i can do it outside the SPO functionality, manually as usual, however, this means i have to create a DTP for each partition. is this correct ??
yes, i can also manually create a DTP between the SPO and my target, again manually, outside the SPO functionality, but that knows nothing about the outbound infosource, so i will have to create a transformation using the SPO object directly to the target, without the use of the created outbound infosource.
all this is rather confusing, which way to go ?
thanks
