SAP Note 529789 - BW extraction/extractor checker differences

Component : BW Service API - Data Staging

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/529789 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses inconsistencies between data extracted through the extractor checker (RSA3) and data transferred to BW via an InfoPackage. Key points include the use of all DataSource fields in RSA3, while in BW, the transport structure may include only a subset, potentially leading to variances if the user exits manipulate non-transferred fields. Solutions recommend synchronizing field selections between RSA3 and BW, adjusting package sizes in RSA3 to match BW settings, and ensuring selection criteria and authorizations are consistent across both platforms. Other issues pointed out include variable handling of data depending on extractor settings and the need for identical user permissions for accurate testing. Additionally, it addresses discrepancies caused by the activation status of transfer structures and advises on specific selection criteria for DeltaInit to ensure data consistency.
