Hey Sam,

One generic delta extractor we have built here is the Measurement Documents in PM. We do not have any delivered content that would not fulfil our needs. So, we built a custom transactional data source. We can not have document number as the delta field (Numeric Pointer)as the changes to the document would not be reflected. So, we made the time stamp in the standard table as the delta field. Whenever the document is changed, the time stamp also gets changed and this is picked up by the delta. This is working fine. One thing you need to consider while choosing the delta field is that, can the changes be recognised by the system based on that field you have chosen.

You know the steps to create the data source. Don't you? Let us know if you have any further doubts. Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards
