Hello,
I'm trying to change the data type of ECC source table (DATS) to HANA SQL type DATE. I have gone through numerous posts on SDN and decided that we don't want to do the master setting in table IUUC_REPL_TYPMAP to avoid all the dates to transform into DATE...based on following posts.

1. I tried changing the data type in IUUC_REPL_TABSTG directly in "Edit table structure" but it didn't work. I changed DATS to DATE in lower bottom and clicked on "Calculate new structure". I also tried writing the abap include and assigning a DATS type value into result structure.
2. I also tried directly entering mapping in IUUC_REPL_TYPMAP as "DATS" to "DATE". but unfortunately, this one didn't work either.
We are on DMIS 2011 SP5 and HANA SPS06 rev 61.
Also read about table - IUUC_REPL_TYPRED to maintain field level data type mapping; but there is absolutely no documentation/help on this.
Thanks.
