Definition

This indicator describes how a record must be updated in the delta process. The various delta processes differ in that they each only support a partial quantity of six possible features. If a DataSource implements a delta process that uses several features, the indicator must be an element of the extractor structure and be entered DataSource as a reversal field in the DataSource (ROOSOURCE-INVFIELD).

The six features mean the following:

' ': The record delivers an after image.

The status is transferred after a change or before insertion. The record can only be updated directly in an InfoCube if there is a corresponding Before-Image in the request.

'X': The record delivers a Before-Image.

The status is transferred before a change or before deletion.

All summarizable attributes of the record must be transferred with the opposite sign. The plus/minus sign number reversal is either the responsibility of the extractor (default) or can be executed by the Service API. In the case of the latter, the indicator 'Field is inverted with reversal' must be set for the corresponding field of the extractor structure in the DataSource.

In a non additive ODS-Object, these records are ignored.

The Before-Image complements the After-Image.

'A': The record delivers an additive image

Only the change for summarizable attributes and the status after the change for non-summarizable attributes are transferred after creation. This record can replace an After-Image and Before-Image if there are no summarizable attributes or if they are not changed. The record can be updated unlimitedly in an InfoCube, but requires an additive update in an ODS object.

'D': The record must be deleted.

Only the key is transferred. This record (and therefore also the DataSource) can only be updated in an ODS Object.

'R': The record delivers a Reverse-Image.

The content of this record is equivalent to a Before-Image. The only difference is with the update of an ODS object: An existing record the same key is deleted.

'N': The record delivers a New-Image.

The content of this record is the same as an After-Image but without a Before-Image. A New-Image should be transferred instead of an after image when a record is created.

The New-Image complements the Reverse-Image.

In table RODELTAM, it is determined which features are used by a delta process (column UPDM_NIM, UPDM_BIM UPDM_AIM, UPDM_ADD UPDM_DEL and UPDM_RIM). The table must ensure that only correct combinations of the above-mentioned features are used in a delta process.

A DataSource that uses a delta process can only deliver features that are specified in the delta process in the update mode 'Delta' in the extracted records for the indicator with the extraction.
