Important Note
For support pack 16 and above you get one more button besides End Routine (once end routine is created).
This button is to update behaviour of fields in End Routines. You get two options once you select this button.
One needs to make selection of proper option as it is mandatory.
The default setting for the pushbutton is that only the fields with active rules are updated in the
transformation. With this selection, fields populated in End routine wont be updated in the data target if no
active rule exists for them in Transformation.
Alternatively, you can define that all the fields should always be updated by selecting 2nd radio button. As a
result, fields filled in the end routine are not lost if there is no other active rule.
Note: Data fields with the 'No transformation' rule type in the transformation are overwritten if the transformation contains
an end routine. This problem does not occur for key figures if the aggregation summation was set in the
transformation. This problem always occurs for characteristics. If your system is below SP16 then you can
implement note 1024816 to get above facility.
