Question Re: initialization without data transfer in Technology Q&A

initialization without data transfer

Former Member — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:28:54 GMT

I am not clear about the sequence of events to initialize without data transfer and would appreciate it if you could clarify it for me.

1. Run Initialization without data transfer

2. Full Load

3. Delta

4. Delta and so on

Is the above sequence of steps right?

We are not getting any delta records (there definitely were new records generated in ECC). The initialization was successful as seen in the infopackage maintenance options but the delta queue was empty in ECC.

Can you please let me know if I'm missing something.

Thanks in Advance

You can either do full after or before initialization without data transfer, the init without data transfer just set a pointer and any record coming after that will be picked up by delta.

so the sequence will be:

1. Init without data transfer

2. Delta

1. Full load

2. Init without data transfer

3. Delta

1. Init without data Trans.

2. Full

3. Delta.

Only you need to make sure delta comes after init without data transfer, but if you need historical data, then you can do full anytime as long as you are sure data won't duplicated in the target.

thanks.

Hi,

Adding to what is mentioned above.

I think yes.

Its a method to transfer your historical (full) and current (delta) loads from source to BW/BI.

Init is setting a pointer from where delta loads should begin.
