This function is only relevant for DataSources with timestamp management in Profitability Analysis. It is not relevant for DataSources that use the generic delta (see the documentation on Create Transaction Data DataSource).

You can use this function to simulate the initialization of the delta procedure for a DataSource and to set the time stamp of the DataSource to a desired value. You can then plan an InfoPackage for delta updates.

Important note: Only use this function in the cases described below. Inappropriate use can cause irreparable inconsistencies in your data in the SAP BW.

The simulation occurs as follows: the system sets the DataSource status to "Update successful" and gives it the time stamp you entered. A data package is also logged with the interval 0 to that time stamp. This data package sends 0 records to the SAP BW.

It makes sense to simulate the initialization of the delta procedure under the following circumstances:

  • You want to perform an initial test in the SAP BW using just a reduced amount of transaction data so that you can view reports with data from your CO-PA DataCube, for example, without having to replicate several million data records in the SAP BW.

    In this case, set the DataSource time stamp in the Date and Time field to a date a few weeks ago.

    Apart from executing this function, you also need to make the following settings in the SAP BW to simulate the initialization of the delta procedure.

    1. In transaction RSADMIN in the SAP BW, enter your name in the field User for whom the debugging mode is active.
      2. Consequently, the indicator Update data in the source system immediately in the tab page Update parameters in the InfoPackage Scheduler is then unlocked for entries.
    2. Create an initialization InfoPackage and deactivate the indicator Update data in the source system immediately for this InfoPackage. In this way, you stop the system from immediately processing the request IDoc in the source system.
    3. Start the initialization InfoPackage.
    4. In the monitor, set the overall status for this InfoPackage to "OK" (green light).

  • You want to continue a delta replication from a different DataSource. This is sometimes necessary (for example, after an upgrade from R/3-Release 3.x) if you wish to use the new option for updating multiple valuations (transfer prices). You then need a DataSource containing the valuation category (VALUTYP) as well as the currency type (CURTYPE).

    In this case, simply copy the time stamp from the old DataSource by entering the name of that DataSource in the field from a different DataSource. Then continue the delta replication from the new DataSource.

    Note: The initialization of the delta procedure must also be simulated in the SAP BW for the new DataSource. To do this, follow the points a) thru. d) described above.

  • If a problem occurs during the replication, SAP Support may ask you to enter a particular time stamp directly for a DataSource.

    In this case, enter the value recommended by Support in the Direct entry field.
