Question:
I was going through an SAP provided exercise , which talks about creating an infoobject in R/3 system using a program 'RSAO0003'.
Any suggestions.
Answer:
From the OSS notes available, as far as I can understand, it is not a report in the OLTP, but in the BW system. Read these and see if you can make any sense:
155902, 150340, 312927, 146957

Answer:
To clarify, the text of the exercise is listed below:
 In the Administrator Workbench unit, you first create a new InfoObject (COSTC##) on the BW system. This is necessary in order to be able to accept data with a 13 digit cost center number into the BW database.
 In the next step, you will also create an InfoObject COSTC## on the OLTP system. This is done by running report RSAO0003 on the OLTP system and creating a new InfoObject (COSTC##) with reference to an existing InfoObject (0COSTCENTER). You will specify that COSTC## should gets its information from the same table views that supply data to 0COSTCENTER.
It is talking about creating it in the OLTP system and not BW.

Welcome to the world of the fake training !!!
I am really sure that you are not following a standard SAP course, but a copy ...
And like all copies, that does not reflect the original quality.

Answer:
This is copy of real SAP training text.
Answer:
there is a metadata definition on r/3 for the bw objects which are filled from r/3.
you might create one if you have some r/3 field that has no bw equivalent. when this need arises you locate (or create) the desired r/3 field; use rsao0003 to tell r/3 what it will look like in BW. load the meta data definition across from r/3 to bw. this ensures that the definition and thus the communication between r/3 and bw is congruent.
in the exercise, they use a modified version of cost center (13 characters) which will be fed by a generic datasource from the CSKS table. so some of the stuff is done for you and some you do yourself.
you must understand, by in large, the exercises in the class are to expose you to the mechanics not necessarily to teach you a design concept. don't get too caught up in the whys and wherefores.

Thanks,
But how is the report rsao0003 used. I executed it but did not know how to proceed next. Can you enlighten me on that part thanks.
