Update mode in Infopackage

Posted by on







Lets consider that our transaction system have 100 records... And we moved data from ECC to BW using an Infopackage.
Now 100 records are available in BW also..


Again 10 new records are getting posted in ECC... So we should move that new records to BW also..

If we run that Infopackage again entire 110 records available in ECC will be again moved to BW.. which we don't want.. We want only those new records to be moved , As we already have moved the previous 100 records.

For this , we use a delta mechanism..

we initialize a delta queue in the source system..

All the new records will be moved to target system from this delta queue..




Lets see this with a practical example...















We have done a full load and we got 34 records from source..


Now lets do a Initialization delta















after doing initialization a delta queue should be create in source system...

To view Delta queue use ,
Tcode RSA7 in source system...




A delta queue is created in Source system... whenever a new record is created or modified only the new records will be available in this delta queue..

next time Data is pulled from this delta queue and not from Datasource..




Now 2 records are added to the ECC system...

new records will be reflected in Delta queue.




Lets create a Delta load to pull the new records...














We can see that only new records are pulled...

Now delta will be set to the last record...

go back to delta queue




We don't have any records in delta queue now...

    So useful, thanks so much.
    I think we can do it with other way, like below :
    1) Create InfoPackage (1) with Update mode "Initialization with data transfer"
    2) Create InfoPackage (1) with Update mode "Delta update"
    I think InfoPackage "Initialization with data transfer" evaluated with InfoPackage "Full Update" and InfoPackage "Initialization without data transfer".
    How do you think about it ?
    Thanks,
    Dennis.
