Creating text datasource

Question

hi
I have a standart datasource - 0EVENTGROUP_TEXT and created new infoobject in BW ZKVERUA_2.
I must load the texts for the new IO using this standart datasource:
1. i tried directly in bw to create infosource that assign to DS 0EVENTGROUP_TEXT  but when try to assign this DS it is not available in the datasources list, eventhough it exsists  in source system and BW as well
(i tried to activate and replicate.)
2. i tried in RSO2 to create DS that are with the same extraction mathod :
Fanctiom module and extract stracture but when saving the new text datasource i'm getting the mesage :
ZKVERUA_2: TABLES-paramter E_T_DATA for extractor HR_BIW_GET_TEXTS is
missing
please advice how can i create infosource to my Z IO that will load texts from the standat DS 0EVENTGROUP_TEXT
thanks a lot

Hi,
  First the infoobject should be made as infoprovider . In the second tab of the infoobject you will have check box at the bottom
enable that check box infoobject as infoprovider or dataprovider.. similiar text like that.
If it is not enabled enable now then you are using direct update method of updating the infoobject.
Now if you enable this one you are changing to flexible update.
Now delete the previous source system assignment. Now createa new infosource and assign the datasource to it
Assign source system and map them and activate it.
Go to infoprovider tab in RSA1. Search for the infoobject or try insert infoobject as data target.
Once it is done right click on infoobject and try creating update rules using infosource.
Once done create a infopackage and load them.
Hope this helps for you
Thanks,
