Hi,
if you want to do Flexible update you can go for Infosource and in BI7 No need to create infosource, you can directly create Transofmations and DTP from the Datasource to the Infoobject( Datasource->Infoobject).
To do, Righclick on the Datasource of the infoobject,and choose create DTP. Select Target(infoboject).
This will propose automatic transformations. Save and activate transformations and DTP. Now you can schedule DTP to load the data to infoobject.
otherwise if you want to create Infosource.
1.Choose Infoprovider tab in RSA1, and choose your application component.
2.Rightclick on the App.Comp. and choose create Infosource.
3. Use your Datasource as template for the Infosource.
4. Now infosource creation screen will occur, there activate.
5. Now, rightclick on your created Infosource and choose create Transformations.
6.Select Source(by default the target will be the Infosource). Activate the transformations.
7.Now , you are having the data upto Infosource. Again choose Create Transformations on the Infosource and choose target as your Infoobject and source as your Infosource. activate it.
8. you can create DTP , by rightclick on the Ifoobject.
