Hi Reshma,
Funny discovery. If I make the direct update DSO first and then make the standard dso, the dtp from direct dso to standard dso pulls 0 records.
But if I make the standard dso first. Use it as a template to build my direct update dso. Then use that direct update dso to build apd design, and then load data using dtp from direct update dso to standard dso, it works!!
