Problem with Datasources

Question

I Guys I am new to BW, I activate a Datasource in RSA5, but when I try to replicate in BW I cannot see it, Do I have to create a Source System for R3 for this to work. I went to SM59 and create a RFC pointing to the Client I want to extract the data.
Thanks You in Advance.

Hello ,
Please use the below procedure :
1- Go to Transaction RSDS and enter your Data Source name and Source System ( you can check your source system if it is already available )
If your source system is available, then goto datasource table and select replicate data source .
Another Option :
,Go to  transaction SBIW in the source system choose Business Information Warehouse-- Business Content DataSources --Transfer Business Content DataSources
Select the nodes in the application component hierarchy for which you want to transfer DataSources into the active version..
Alternative you can  Go to Data Warehousing Workbench. Transaction RSA1
Select the Datasource tab--select your application component --and right click --replicate meta data .
Now if you have not connected with Source system  first ask your Basis Team to make connection between R/3 source and BW system .
If this task you have to do then follow the instruction given in below link :
