Definition

This indicator describes how a record is updated in the delta process. Each of the different delta processes only supports a subquantity of the characteristics listed below. If a DataSource implements a delta process that uses several characteristics, the indicator must be part of the extraction structure and entered in the DataSource as a reversal field (ROOSOURCE-INVFIELD).

Possible values are:

  • ' ' (blank): The record provides an after image.

    The status is transferred after a change or after insertion. The record can only be updated directly in an InfoCube if the request contains the appropriate before image.

  • 'X': The record provides a before image.

    The status is transferred before a change or before deletion.
    All summarizable attributes of the record are transferred with a reversed +/- sign. The +/- sign reversal is either performed by the extractor (default) or by the service API. In this case, the indicator Field is inverted at reversal must be set in the DataSource for the respective field of the extraction structure.

    These records are ignored in a non-additive ODS object update.

    The before image is complementary to the after image.

  • 'A': The record provides an additive image

    For summarizable attributes only the change is transferred, for non-summarizable attributes the status after change or after creation. This record can replace an after image and a before image if there are no non-summarizable attributes or these are not changed. The record can be updated in a InfoCube, but requires an additive update in an ODS object.

  • 'D': The record must be deleted.

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

  • 'R': The record provides a reverse image.

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

  • 'N': The record provides a new image.

    The content of this record is equivalent to an after image without a before image. A new image is transferred instead of an after image when a record is created.

    The new image is complementary to the reverse image.

  • 'Y': The record is an update image.

    A record flagged this way is used in the ChangeLog of an ODS object to save the value from the update for a possible rollback or rollforward for key figures with minimum or maximum aggregration. For characteristics, the record also contains the value from the update. In this case, this matches the after image. Zero values are stored for key figures with totals aggregation. An update image is only required if the value from the update is greater or less than the before image for at least one key figure with minimum or maximum aggregation.

Table RODELTAM defines which characteristics a delta process uses (columns UPDM_NIM, UPDM_BIM, UPDM_UIM, UPDM_AIM, UPDM_ADD UPDM_DEL, and UPDM_RIM). The table ensures that only meaningful combinations of the above characteristics are used in a delta process.

A DataSource that uses a delta process for extraction in the update mode delta can only provide those characteristics in extracted records that are specified in the delta process.
