bw_update_infosource
Update an SAP BW InfoSource by changing its description, adding or removing fields, and updating field labels while preserving existing fields.
Instructions
Update an InfoSource — change description, add/remove fields, and update labels. Provide fields as an array of the fields to add, and remove_fields as an array of field names to delete; other existing fields are always preserved verbatim. Each field can reference an InfoObject (set infoobject_name) or be a local field (omit infoobject_name). Returns a lock_handle for bw_activate.
