Definition

Mode in which an extractor is called from a BW. Depending on the mode, the BW expects the data request to be processed in the extractor in various ways:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

| Mode | Description |

----------------------------------------------------------------|

| F | Transfer all requested data |

| D | Transfer delta since last request |

| I | Transfer initial status for non-cumulative values |

| R | Repeat the last delta transfer |

| C | Initialize the delta transfer |

| S | Simulate the initialization of the delta transfer |

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Remarks:

Mode 'R'

This mode must no longer be supported by the extractor under the following conditions:

  1. The system has an R/3 Release >= 4.0B
  2. The extractor is completely roll back-capable within an extraction process, meaning that no database-commit takes place in the extractor.

Mode 'S'

If an extractor is called in this mode, it is not permitted to deliver any data. Its only job is to make sure that for this request, the delta mode ('D') is possible for any following requests.

Example
The extractor uses a time stamp stored in an administration table to determine the delta. In the delta mode, only those records that have been changed or generated since the last extraction are actually transferred. In mode 'S', the current time stamp is included in the administration table, but no data is transferred into BW.
