Step 3. Activate the InfoSource or DataSource

After you create an InfoSource or a DataSource and assign it to an external logical system, you must activate the InfoSource or DataSource to load data to SAP BI.

The InfoSource contains the metadata used as the basis for the transfer and communication structure. When you activate the InfoSource, you also maintain the transfer rules and communication structure. Transfer rules must be active for PowerCenter to load data into the transfer structure.

The PowerCenter Integration Service loads data to the PSA based on the DataSource. To activate a DataSource, select the DataSource and click the

Activate

button. When you activate the DataSource, SAP generates a PSA table in the entry layer of BI. You can then load the data into the PSA and create a DTP to load the data from the PSA to an SAP target.

In the Administrator Workbench for SAP BW 3.5 or Data Warehousing Workbench for SAP BI 7.0, right-click the InfoSource and select

The following table describes the transfer methods:

Method	Description
IDoc	Use IDoc to synchronously move data from transfer structure to InfoCube.
PSA	Required for SAP BI 7.0. Use PSA to load data into the PSA.

If you want to populate an InfoCube in SAP BW 3.5, also define it in the Administrator Workbench. Define the update rules to update the InfoCube from the transfer structure.
