Definition

You use the update type to control if and how a key figure or a data field is updated in the data target.

  • Update with Aggregation Type of the Key Figure: New values are updated.

    The aggregation type, meaning how these values are updated if the primary keys are similar, is displayed. It is defined during the definition of the key figures.

    There are currently three types of aggregation:

    Summation, Minimum, and Maximum.

    If one of these aggregation types is specified in the key figure definition, it is transfered for the update. Otherwise summation is selected.

    The maximum, minimum, or the sum of these values is formed with similar primary keys and new values.

  • Overwrite: This option is available only with ODS objects and InfoObjects. The aggregation type (independently of the key figure definition) is overwritten. With similar primary keys and new values, the old value is overwritten.
  • No update: The key figure/data field is NOT updated, meaning that the value of this key figure/this data field remains unchanged in the data target.
