Hi Ravi,

If you want to capture delta from Flat file, you can achieve through Delta mode of DTP between DSO & IC.

Assaign semantic keys and update data to IC.

You can also use Routines as mentioned above.

Hi Ravi,

Delta from Flat file

Find out the fields which needs to be loaded as delta from the flat file.

A routine needs to be used to do furhter as provided in above links.

Hi Ravi,

You need to find out the delta field in your flat file and implement routine for the same field to indentify the delta records.

Check the below doc for step by step procedure.

Hi,

Delta load is not possible for flat file.

Use alternate method to do delta load from flat file by writing routines in infopackage.

check this doc..

It is only possible in BI 7.3.

why would you want to do delta extraction with a flat file?

I mean, remove the old file and extract the whole new file.
