Hi,
Some thoughts and questions about subject...
My question is in which situations can delta enabled extraction be initialized (safely) without stopping posting of data? Put more generally - Which types of delta supports not blocking posting of data during initialization, and how do I tell in the BW/R3 system if a datasource has this property?
Another question on this topic is: If a datasource normally would require stopping posting of data during initialization - is there a safe way to avoid this scenario - e.g by using initialize without data transfer and then do a full load to catch up with historical data? Would that work without stopping posting of data?
My own toughts:
I know that the postings don't have to be stopped if the extractor supports Early delta initialization. But in which other cases, if any, can it be done? I would guess that postings doesn't have to be blocked for some types of delta extractors - e.g if the extractor uses generic delta based on timestamps and doesn't use delta queue...
Sorry if I post about a topic already discussed in these forums, but I didn't get any full answer from previous posts (though I might have missed it).
Many thanks! This would be really valuable information for me!
Best regards,
David
