TRANSFORMATION AND DTP

Question

Hi all,
I have two questions:
1. If I have a 3x datasource..can i still use Transformations and DTP's with it in BI 7.0?
2. I have a cube and know the datasources. Could some one give me the modelling steps that come next... i am using BI 7.0 and want to use Transformations and DTP.
Thanks

1. If I have a 3x datasource..can i still use Transformations and DTP's with it in BI 7.0?
Yes - you can.
2. I have a cube and know the datasources. Could some one give me the modelling steps that come next... i am using BI 7.0 and want to use Transformations and DTP.
data loading in BI 7.0 from fla file extraction.
fisrt create one Cube or DSO with the same structure which you have in flatfile..
and activate it..
->now comes to Datasource tab> create one Datasource here you need to select type of data for example.. select Transactional data --> and menntion your flatfile name in extraction tab- and file type and eneter your info object names in FIELDS tab --> and load preview data Activate it..
now select your datasource and create info package and schedule it.. now your data will loded in to PSA level...
> and now comes to info provider select your cube.. and right clcik it.. and create transformations.,. and activate it..
> and create DTP -- Activate it.. and Execute it..
1)Create datasource. Here u can set/check the Soucre System fields.
2)Create Transformation for that datasource. (no more update rules/transfer rules)
2.1) While creating transformation for DS it will ask you for data target name, so just assign where u want to update ur data.
DataSource -> Transformation -> (DTP)-->Data Target
Now if you want to load data into data target from Source System Datasource:
1) Create infopackage for that data source. If you are creating infopackage for new datasources, it will only allow you update upto PSA, all other options u can see as disabled.
2)Now Create DTP (Data Transfer Process) for that data source.
3) NOw schdule the Infopackage, once the data is loaded to PSA, you can execute your DTP which will load data to data target.
Data Transfer Process (DTP) is now used to load data using the dataflow created by the Transformation. Here's how the DTP data load works:
1) Load InfoPackage
2) Data gets loaded into PSA (hence why PSA only is selected)
3) DTP gets "executed"
4) Data gets loaded from PSA into the data target once the DTP has executed
Hope it helps..
