'init load' & 'full load'??

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Can anyone correct this if i am wrong?

--My question is that I need to delete 'init load' & re-load it with 'full load' and then create the 'process chain' to transfer data periodically after I loaded data first time with 'init load' and the data was tested, right?

--If not, what it is after I loaded data successfully with 'init load' in the first time?

--Do I always need to use 'init load' for first time data load? If not, what is the situation that I need to use 'full load' for the first time data load?

Thank you

Hi John,

No. First you initialize the delta load. From there on you do a delta load only. Its like this. When you do a initialize delta load it is like a full load i.e it loads into the Data Target all the data for the datasource. The difference being the initialization load which will have additional settings to take care of the delta loads. So when you do a delta load only the changed/updated records are extracted into BW. Hope I have made things clear.

Hi Dinesh,

Thank you for the information. But I need to know

-- <b>Is is ok that I used 'full load' in the first dataload to test data or it is necessary to delete it and re-create 'init load' after I already used 'full load'</b>. Will it caurse any errors to crated the 'process chain'?

--If I want to create the process chain for the 'init load' infopackage, do I need to crated 'delta load' infopackage? (Some said: 'delta load' has to be done after 'init load')

--After I created 'init load' to test data in the infopackage for one ODS, do I need to create 'delta load' or 'full load' infopackage for it?

Thank you
