Initialize Delta Process - Initialize without Data transfer

[Former Member]

Hello,

What is the purpose/potential uses for 'Initialize Delta Process - Initialize without data transfer'. In what situations would you use that.

I understand that if you want to use a Delta update that you will have to at some point 'initialize the delta process'.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Nick,

One example is when you are loading from an ODS to a cube. You can perform an Init without data with a Full (Repair request)load. This is useful in this case as a full load take place from the Active data table and is faster.

Hope this helps...

Your understanding is correct about Initialization. Initialization with out data transfer is Initialization will be done but there won't be any Data transfer occures and later on you can use delta extraction. Generally Initialization will take lot of time to extarct old Data. If we don't want this data we just do Init with out Data transfer.

Hope this helps

Thanks
