Initialization

[Former Member]

Would like to know what are the differences between Initialization with Data Transfer and Initialization without Data Transfer?

Thank you.

-init with data transfer sets the delta pointer on the source system side and also transfers all records from source table to BW.

-init without data transfer sets the delta pointer on the source system side but does not transfer any records from source table to BW.BW request shows '0 from 0' records.

Init without data transfer used when..

-u have done full update from source system.And u want to init so that u can do delta later.so dont need to do data transfer init as already full update has sent all data.so u do init with data transfer.

-u also use init without data transfer when some deltas in past few days are gone wrong.u arent able to repair.so u do a full update and then use init without data transfer to reset delta pointer from source system.

do full update+init without data transfer when there are large number of records in source tables.

do init with data transfer when no. of records in source table is not very high.

Do any of the above cases..it later can continue with delta loads.
