Step 3. Activate the InfoSource or DataSource

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.
