How to schedule initial load for repeating initial load every day?

daniel_park — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 02:03:47 GMT

Hi experts,

I wish I could use real time replication but my client does not allow triggers on their nonABAP systems.

Therefore I am looking for the way I can replicate data from source systems in batch mode.

Can I schedule initial load as daily job?

If so, how can I schedule this?

Any idea for replication without trigger?

Thank you in advance.

BR,

Hi,

unfortunately it's not possible with tool from a box.
Only the possibilities you can use the SLT API to stop/start the IL for the table(s) and schedule your own job to automate this routine.

Hi Andrey,

Thank you for your precious idea.

I found API List - https://blogs.sap.com/2015/05/11/list-of-slt-apis/ and the APIs exist in our system.

I want to test them but I am still looking for whatever help document, guide,any specification of them.

Unfortunately it is not easy to find.

Do you have any information related to the APIs?

Could you kindly share them?

Thank you again.

BR,

I guess we have no official API guide.

But you can use the API functions mentioned in the list that you have found.
Function module IUUC_REPL_STOP_REPLICATION and IUUC_REPL_START_REPLICATION are the perfect solution for your task.

Thank you, Andrey!

I am considering debug or trace of LTRC.

Your answer helps me a lot.

Thank you again.
