0HR_PA_PA_1 (Headcount) not found in BCT of our BI 7.0 Ehp1 System.

Question

Dear Experts,
We are working on BI 7.0 Ehp1 system. Our system SP levels are as below:
SAP_ABA     701     0006     SAPKA70106     Cross-Application Component
SAP_BASIS     701     0006     SAPKB70106     SAP Basis Component
PI_BASIS     701     0006     SAPK-70106INPIBASIS     Basis Plug-In
ST-PI     2008_1_700     0004     SAPKITLRD4     SAP Solution Tools Plug-In
SAP_BW     701     0006     SAPKW70106     SAP Business Warehouse
BI_CONT     705     0002     SAPK-70502INBICONT     BI_CONT 705: Add-On Installation
ST-A/PI     01N_700BCO     0000          -     Servicetools for other App./Netweaver 04
However, I don't find 0HR_PA_PA_1 (Headcount) listed when I searched DataSources in Business Content of our BW System. I have been through a lot of threads on the forum and noticed most of the threads are fairly old. Not quite sure if to believe those versions.
When I checked with one of my friends who is on a lesser SP levels of BCT (BI_CONT     705     0001     SAPK-70501INBICONT     BI_CONT 705: Add-On Installation) as compared to us, he is able to see the same DataSource listed in his BCT which is a BI 7.0 system too.
I want to use this DataSource to load 0PAPA_C02 by sourcing data from BW Development and also pulling some data from 2 other DSOs.
However, my current challenge is to get this DataSource in our BI 7.0 System.
I am not sure what could have gone wrong. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chandu

HI ,
This is a Old Datasource , and it requires some manual customisation , refer the SAP note below
Note 336229 - Use of InfoCube 0PAPA_C02/InfoSource 0HR_PA_PA_1
Symptom
You want to use InfoCube 'Headcount' (0PAPA_C02) and the corresponding InfoSource 'Headcount' (0HR_PA_PA_1).
Even though you transferred the data from the Business Content, the transfer rules are not complete for the InfoSource, or DataSource 0HR_PA_PA_1 does not exist or is not complete.
Other terms
Headcount, BW, OLTP, HR, extraction, non-cumulatives, SBIW, Business Content, activation, transfer
Reason and Prerequisites
The use of this content requires some manual advance activities.
Solution
Extraction of master data in the BW System as transaction data InfoSource:
InfoSource 0HR_PA_PA_1 is supplied by DataSource 0HR_PA_PA_1, which only exists in a BW System.The corresponding extractor reads the master data tables for InfoObjects Employee (0EMPLOYEE) and Person (0PERSON) and provides changes to these time-dependent attributes as non-cumulative value change.
The DataSource supports the 'Full Update' mode only. Extraction in delta mode would not reduce the extraction time since the determination of the delta needs extreme effort with this DataSource. For this reason, the delta mode was not implemented.
Note that the system only provides changes of person attributes if also employee master data exists for this person.
Do the following steps in your BW System:
1. Transfer the Business Content in the Administrator Workbench:
              Choose InfoCube 'Headcount' (0PAPA_C02), collect all objects with grouping 'Data flow before and after' and copy them from the Business Content afterwards.
              Check whether key figures 0ANSAL_NC / 0ANSAL_VC, 0HDFTE_NC / 0HDFTE_VC and 0HDCNT_NC / 0HDCNT_VC were activated in the process.In addition, InfoCube 0PAPA_C02 itself, InfoSource 0HR_PA_PA_1 and the respective update rules should be active.
2. Customizing of DataSource 0HR_PA_PA_1:
The following step is relevant to BW 2.1C only:
Because the extractor for this DataSource requires the activation of certain InfoObjects (and thus the existence of these data elements), the extractor can only be delivered in modules which must be activated manually.For this purpose, you must make modifications at two locations in function group RS_BCT_PA_EXTRACTION (removal of the respective comment characters for the activation of the Includes):
1. LRS_BCT_PA_EXTRACTIONTOP:old: * INCLUDE rs_bct_pa_extraction_top.new: INCLUDE rs_bct_pa_extraction_top.
2. RS_BCT_PA_GET_DATA:
old: * INCLUDE rs_bct_pa_get_data.new: INCLUDE rs_bct_pa_get_data.
In BW 3.0A, this is carried out automatically when activating the DataSource. As of BW 3.0A Patch 7 and BW 3.0B, this step is obsolete since programs are generated instead.

Postprocess DataSource 0HR_PA_PA_1:
Add the following fields to the extract structure (Customer-Append ZARSBCTPA_0HR_PA_PA_1 to extract structure RSBCTPA_0HR_PA_PA_1):
Component Component type

PAYPCT /BI0/OIHDFTE_VC
Enter the names of the fields exactly as listed in the note. Ignore messages of type:
'Field EMPLOYEE is not within the customer namespace.'
If you extended 0EMPLOYEE or 0PERSON by user-specific attributes, you can also include them in the extract structure or in the InfoSource and the InfoCube.Until further notice, SAP recommends that you only include new characteristics and no key figures.
Check marks have to be removed for all new fields in the 'Hide field' column (Transaction RSA6 for application component BW-DM). You can only use fields EMPLOYEE and CALDAY as selection fields.
3. Replicate DataSource 0HR_PA_PA_1 in the Administrator Workbench / Source systems (your BW System as a source) - application component personnel admistration (PA-PA), and assign the DataSource to InfoSource 0HR_PA_PA_1.
Special features of InfoCube 'Headcount' (0PAPA_C02):
Compounding of InfoObjects and source systems is not supported.
First, execute the attribute change run in order to take into account master data which have already been loaded into the BW System but not yet activated.
For technical reasons (Non-cumulative method), the age or seniority fields cannot be supplied directly from the InfoSource.They must be modelled as virtual key figures and characteristics. The corresponding logic for these fields is not delivered until BW 3.0A.
All attributes of 0PERSON and 0EMPLOYEE must be time-dependent.
