How do I assign a different source system to an info-object?

Question: I am very new to BW system and need some help on how to assign a different R/3 source system to BW info-objects.

We have a BW 3.50 / SEM 4.0 IDES system which comes pre-configured with some info-cubes and info-providers point to some non-existent source systems (T90CLNT090). Is there an easy way to assign the info-source and corresponding info-cube etc to a different R/3 source system?

I have already created the R/3 source system. I tried to assign DataSource to an infosource by changing the source system, but it doesn't take effect. What am I doing wrong? Can someone assist me and point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Raheel

Answer:
You don't have to change the existing assignment, you need to create a new assignment.
The datasource itself will have to be recreated as it is source-system dependent,
and you will have to connect your existing infosource a second time, using the new datasource instead of the old one.

I suggest you to have a look at /forums/viewtopic.php?t=10387&sid=885c353089d7a60d0ded9f7c32758d28

Answer:
Hello Ch,

Thanks for the prompt response! Okay, so I need to create a new datasource and then attach the infosource to newly created datasource, right?

Is there a way I can create new datasource from existing datasource? How?

Thanks,
Raheel
