Hi Experts,
1.I need to add the infoobect to one of the DSO of the multiprovider. I see the infoobject in the DSO infoobject dropdown list. my question is if i add the infoobject to the DSO, do i have do add it in the extractor as well?
2. In the transfer rules i see my infoobject on the right hand side (assing fied object). Do i have to move to the left side in order to add the infoobject to the extractor? what it mean if the infoobject is on the right hand side in the transfer rules? what it mean if i move the infoobject to the left hand side?

You need to map this new InfoObject to some field of datasource or derive it using some other field.
Ex1: lets say added Calyear as new IO to the ods. In the update rule of ODS you can derive it using caldate.
Ex2: you added doc# to the ODS. you want to populate it using a particular field of the datasource. Adding doc# will make it available only in the ODS. Add this IO to the InfoSource/Communication strucutre. In the transfer rules map this IO the field you want it to be populated from the datasource. In the update rules map this IO to the same IO from InfoSource.
If there is no field in the datasource corresponding to this IO then you need to enhance extractor such that it brings this new field.
