When does the BW add timestamps and requestIDs to datasets and how?

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I am wondering at what stage of the ETL the BW adds both timestamps and requestIDs to the new data loaded and what algorithms or rules are used to do so...

Thanks for any hint on that!!

Hi Pascal,

When data arrives into BW both the request ids and the timestamp are assigned. You can check that even if a request is not loaded to Data Target and just to a PSA it would have a request id assigned.

Hi Dinesh,

I need much more detailled information so let me precise my questions:

- What module is responsible for those jobs?

- The data arrives via the transfer structure, are those datasets given the timestamp and the whole bunch of datasets the requestid?

- How are the timestamps generated? Time of arrival of the datsets in the BW?

- What rules are followed when generating the request IDs?

Does nobody have a clue about that??

Hi Pascal,

You are looking for Architchture and Technical deisgn of a BW system. I wonder if anyone who is working in BW will know this much detailed information (unless they have done some extensive R&D on these stuff, which imo is not required for a BW consultant).
