Doc. for using 'Simulate the Initialization of the Delta Pro'

[Former Member]

Hello!

I am trying to find documentation on using the 'Simulate the Initialization of the Delta Procedure' in the SBIW of the SAP R/3 system 3.1i.

If anyone can provide the documentation or a link to the correct source, I woul appreciate it greatly.

Thank you,

Hello Sharon,

jere is the documentation:

Delta process initialization simulation

*****************

Use

If the delta process has not yet been initialized, but you want to test the delta upload, you have the option of simulating the initialization.

This runs the help entries in all the required tables in BW and in the source system, without loading any data from the source system.

In the monitor, you get a message telling you that a record has been loaded. The initialization-simulation request appears in all the data targets in which an update has taken place. However, this request contains only help entries. The simulation does not update any data in the data targets.

Dependencies

After you have tested the delta upload in this way, initialize the delta process.

Note

You are able to simulate the initialization of the delta process for extractors available as of PlugIn 99 (A), that is, BW-BCT 2.0.

Hi Sharon

I'll try to explain the Steps for initializing the delta update

For the infopackage for which the delta update needs to be Initialized check whether there exixts any "Init delta" and if a Init delta request exists then this old request is to be deleted ,before the init delta run can be executed

Select the infopackage,Go to the scheduler and on the menu bar select "initialization options for source system"

In case NO "Init delta" request appears then start the init delta load and moniter the progress of the run.

After succesful compleation of Init delta run ,schedule the subsequent delta updates

I dont know sharon whether i had helped you or not, but this is my understanding.

Hope it helps ..

Lisa
