Hi All,
We are trying to activate the data source '0MATERIAL_ATTRIBUTE' in ECC 6.0. Its a standard datasource and we have not made any changes to it before activating. When trying to activate, we get a warning message -
"Make repairs in foreign namespaces only if they are urgent"
"Warning have occured (see log)."
From the log we have the following information -
The even-numbered length of the DEC field MHDHB can lead to problems
Message no. R8569
Diagnosis
You want to use the field MHDHB in the extract structure for DataSource 0MATERIAL_ATTR. This field has a field of type 'DEC' (or 'CURR' or 'QUAN') with an even number of characters. This can create problems since the length resulting from calculations in ABAP (for example, in extractors or Customer Exits for extraction) is too large to be inserted in the database later (PSA in BW), causing a short dump.
Inspite of the warning we tried to replicate the datasource - '0MATERIAL_ATTRIBUTE' into BI 7.0 by T-code RSDS. We got an error message -"Datasource doesn't exist in source system"
Cheers
Raja
