Symptom
You have uploaded a migration template to the system and changed the migration mode. After setting the migration mode, a popup appears with the following message:
"The data you are uploading contains the following column(s) that is/are not part of the active source view.
XYZ
Data from these columns will not be uploaded" (where XYZ represents one or more column names in the migration template).
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
In this scenario, the Migration of Materials will be used as an example:
- Go to the Business Configuration work center.
- Enter the Overview view.
- Search for the activity Migration of Materials.
- Click on the activity name to open it.
- Click on Migrate Materials using the Migration Tool
- Click on the Upload button.
- Select the option Data from Migration Template.
- Select the file to be uploaded and click on the Upload button.
- Select the migration template uploaded to the system.
- Click on the Properties button.
- Change the migration mode to Enhance Already Existing Records.
- Click on the Save button.
Here, the popup appears.
Cause
The migration tool modes "Enhance Already Existing Records" and "Modify Already Existing Records" do not support the enhancement/change of all fields available in the migration template. It is possible that certain sections of the business object (represented as sheets in the migration template) also cannot be operated.
In case the migration template uploaded contains data in a field which is not supported in the migration mode selected, the popup appears to inform that the data will not be considered.
Resolution
The system works as expected.
