Definition

Dummy Initialization

A complete initialization is often not necessary for many POS and store retailing systems. However, at least one initialization is a prerequisite for change analysis.

Using the following application, you can simulate an initialization at a specific point in time. This means that a complete initialization is no longer required for change analysis.

It should however be noted that all object changes, which took place prior to the dummy initialization time will not be transferred with the dummy initialization that follows the change analysis.

When using dummy initialization, neither objects nor IDocs are formatted or sent. The preparations are simply made internally so that change versions can be generated.
