Function #
The update mode allows delta update meaning that only added or changed data is extracted, instead of a full load.
Settings #
In the main window “Extract SAP DataSources and Extractors” select the Update-Mode from the drop-down menu.
Letter | Desgination | Description |
---|---|---|
F | Full | Extracts all data that match the set selection criteria. |
D | Delta Update | Only extracts data added or changed on the SAP system since the last delta request. Initialize the delta process before running a delta update. To prevent errors, aborts and gaps in your data during a delta run, run the next extraction in the update mode Repeat. |
C | Delta Initialisation | Initialiazies the delta process and extracts all data in full mode simultaneously. When re-initilizing a delta process, first delete any exsiting Inits by clicking [Request Maintenance] in the DeltaQ extraction settings. |
R | Repeat | Repeats the last delta run and updates and any delta data accumulated since the last run. Deletes any data from the last (unsuccesful) delta update before running a repeat. You can run a repeate multiple times. |
S | Delta Init (without data) | Initiliazies the delta process without extracting any data from the SAP Datasource. The result of the Delta inits is a so called [Request Maintenance] on the SAP side. When re-initilizeing a delta process, first delete any exsiting Inits by clicking [Request Maintenance] in the DeltaQ extraction settings. |
I | Non-cumulative Init | Relevant for DataSources such as 2LIS_03_BX. |
A | Activate (don’t extract) | Activates a DataSource similar to clicking [Activate], but is more practical when activating all DataSources in batch. [Activate] is an alternative to [Automatic Synchronization]. No data is extracted. |
V | [Xtract IS only] SSIS Variable; Deprecated, see Variables | If V is selected, a variable name needs to be entered in the DeltaQ settings. The same SSIS variable needs to be created in SSIS and assigned a value. The following values are possible: F, D, C, R, S, I and A. |
Note: The Update mode can be set dynamically as runtime parameter updateType in the “Run Extraction” dialog.
