BW Obsolete Object Types and Substitue ( SAP BW 7.4 )

[Former Member]

I have come to know that many BW objects are not available in BW anymore while working on BW 7.4. There are substitute for each obsolete objects as mentioned below.

Obsolete Object	Substitute in BW 7.4
Infospoke	Open Hub Destination
Update Rules	Transformation
Transfer Rule	Transformation
3.x DataSource	7.x DataSource
3.x data archiving	7.x data archiving
CompositeProvider in Workbench (RSA1)	CompositeProvider in HANA Stuido
Virtual Provider on 3.x Infosource	CompositeProvider

It is recommended to use new objects as they provide more functions and better usability.By default, all these obsolete function are hidden. That means mostly 3.x functions in the context menu on the object trees in RSA1 and in other transaction are not available.

However, you can change this setting using tcode RSCUSTV32
