Question 1: Enhance Datasource
How do you enhance a Datasource?
How do you enhance a Datasource?
A: Firstly, you need to create an append structure to the extract structure of a DataSource. You can do this by running transaction RSA6 or by running transaction SBIW and then executing the following configuration steps: 1. Postprocessing of DataSources 2. Edit DataSources and Application Component Hierarchy. This will take you to the screen with all the application nodes. You will have to expand each node until you get to the DataSource that needs to be enhanced. Place your cursor on this DataSource and click on the -Enhance Extraction Structure- button and create the append structure. Add the desired fields, save and activate the append structure. In order to populate the new fields, you need to add logic to SAP enhancement/customer exit RSAP0001 (in transaction SMOD). This exit/enhancement has 4 (function module) components: 1) EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 for transaction DataSources, 2) EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002 for (master data) attribute DataSources, 3) EXIT_SAPLRSAP_003 for (master data) text DataSources and 4) EXIT_SAPLRSAP_004 for hierarchy DataSources. You will put your logic/code into an include. Since this single enhancement/exit is used for all DataSources, you will first need to check for the DataSource in your code (by using a CASE, WHEN, or IF conditionality).
For any source system running Web AS 6.20 or higher, you can enhance Business Add-In (BadI) RSU5_SAPI_BADI (in transaction SE19). You will have to create your own implementation and enhance method DATA_TRANSFORM (for all non-hierarchy DataSources) and HIER_TRANSFORM (for all hierarchy DataSources).

Absurdly overpriced!,

This review is from: SAP BW Ultimate Interview Questions, Answers, and Explanations: SAP BW Certification Review (Paperback)
My worst investment in BW books so far. It is not more than a pamphlet, with very low quality figures (print screens almost impossible to read).
I expected much more from the price I paid.

Why is this classed as a books and not a pamphlet?,
By Hognoxious (Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SAP BW Ultimate Interview Questions, Answers, and Explanations: SAP BW Certification Review (Paperback)
OK, so size isn't everything. But for the price of this A5 pamphlet, you could buy an encyclopedia sized book on the same subject.
Don't think the bigger books are competition for this one, though. They're designed for people who want to learn a subject and are prepared to put the time and effort in to do so; the target market for this comic is the kind who just want to parrot off answers in an interview.

Overpriced,
By Zlodey (Russia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SAP BW Ultimate Interview Questions, Answers, and Explanations: SAP BW Certification Review (Paperback)
The book is good when you need to do a quick self-examination or pick questions for the interview.
However, I think if you've already got $60 to spend, it would be better to add another 20 and buy something more solid.
