Definition

The transfer mode determines how data on the objects (= plan version/ object type/object ID) is imported in the target system.

  • Insert (complete transfer: delete in target system, recreate)
    The data records for all of the object types and infotypes from the distribution model are transferred in full to the target system. If one of these objects already exists in the target system, it is replaced in full. In other words, it is deleted in full, and then recreated using the distributed data records.
    You can specify a reporting period (data selection period). The system distributes all of the data records that are valid for at least one day between the 'start date' and 'end date'.
    When a complete transfer is executed for the first time, the insert mode must be used.
  • Update (for changes: infotype/subtype records in reporting period)
    You can specify a reporting period (data selection period). The data records of the infotype/subtype to be entered are distributed if they are completely within this period.
    In the target system, data records of the specified infotype/ subtype are first deleted if they are completely within this period (relationships are only deleted if they were created earlier by distribution). The distributed data records are then recreated.
    The change pointers are despatched in update mode.

Insert (create) for complete transfer

Use

The data records for all of the object types and infotypes from the distribution model are transferred in full to the target system. If an object to be transferred already exists in the target system, it is replaced in full. In other words, it is deleted and then recreated using the distributed data records. The system distributes all of the data records that are valid for at least one day between the 'start date' and 'end date'.
You must use this mode for complete transfers.

Update (change) for period.

Use

You can specify a reporting period. The data records of the infotype/ subtype to be entered are distributed if they are completely within this period. In the target system, data records of the specified infotype/subtype are first deleted if they are completely within this period. The distributed data records are then created. This mode is used for change pointers.
