Documentation
Definition
This key figure is only relevant for DataSources which are Delta enabled, and whose delta is retrieved using its own extractor.
Given this prerequisite is met and the key figure is set, the Service API uses a SAP commit ('commit work') between the first time the extractor is called up (the initialization phase) and the first call up that reads data (the first time the fetch phase is called up). This only occurs when the extractor is called up in delta mode (I_UPDMODE = 'D').
Applications to be posted thus have the option to make a clear distinction between records that are read in the current extraction and in the subsequent delta extraction, without having to block the whole load process (Example: LIS two pronged technology)
IMPORTANT!
A DataSource with a set 'init commit' key figure must guarantee a repeat mode for when extraction terminates between the commit after initialization and the end of the extraction. In this case, the extractor called up in the repeat mode has to re-read the dataset for the terminated extraction. This guarantees data consistency for subsequent delta requests.
