Early Delta Init with Direct Delta Method for 2LIS_03_BF

Hi,

I need to reinitialize our Inventory cube. We are using the Direct Delta update method.

What is the better initialization option, Init without data transfer and then full load (unlocking the users for the full load) or using the Early Delta Init and not locking out the users at all for the initialization and load?

The 2LIS_03_BF does support Early Delta Initialization, however, does it work with the Direct Delta update method.

We are on BW 7.0 sp22

Thanks,

Sheila
