Step 5)

Choose the datasource 2LIS_02_ITM and go to the Datasource tab and click Change the datasource as shown in screenshot.

Note: This step is used when we need to add additional fields, to push into BW. Similarly, we can do the same steps (Step1-5) for of fields which we don’t wish to populate in BW.

After choosing the Change datasource tab, you can see all the fields associated with this datasource as shown below.

Step 6)

Now, as per the above screenshot the Field EFFWR –Effective value item is unchecked in selection field which means that it is not available in BW. To populate the Field EFFWR in BW, we will have to check mark in selection field as shown below.

Step 7)

After checking the field EFFWR in selection save the datasource as shown below.
