3.8. Creating Update Rules for the InfoCube

Before creating an InfoPackage to load the transaction data, we must define rules for the InfoCube IC_DEMBC that determine how data will be updated. In BW, these rules are called update rules.

Work Instructions

Step 2.	In the Data source block, select the option InfoSource, enter the newly created IS_DEMOBC, and then click  to move to the next screen. SCREEN 3.64
