Before discussing Init and Delta, you need to know what full is: when you do full load, all data from the source is getting loaded, which will bring everything. This load is not efficient and resource consuming and even in some cases you may not do it because too much data getting involved. So, that is why there is Init and Delta comes into picture. When you do Init load, you are setting a delta pointer, means it is just a marker saying that everything from this point on has been taken care of, then after you do init load, going forward, you do delta which will bring (New or changed records). Unlike the full load, after you do init and next delta will bring fewer records which makes it mare efficient and less resources.

Hope it is clearer.

thanks.

Philips,

Init load is used to pull the records from the source system to BW system.The main purpose of INIT load is to trigger "delta" loads from the next load. you have to create an info package and selct "initialization" with data transfer to do this.

delta loads are used to get any changed records or updated records from the source sys to BW sys. after doing an INIT you can do an delta load. you can do this in the same way as mentioned above, except for you need to select delta under "update" tab.

also, search in forums, you will find tons of informations on the same topic
