Documentation
Definition
The "technical key" indicator is an attribute of the open hub destination type DB table. If the indicator is set, the field list of tables for the OHREQUID, DATAPAKID, and RECORD technical fields are added. These fields display the only key fields for the table and include the open hub request SID, the data package ID, or the current number of one of the data records added to the table within a data package. All three fields are type INT4.
Use
A target table with a technical key is useful in the following cases:
- Delta extraction from DataStore objects: Here the data is read in the change log, in which several records with different RECORDMODEs can exist for a specific semantic key (after-/before-image). The extraction into a table with the semantic key of a DataStore object generally leads produces duplicate records (Duprec) and ultimately a short dump.
- Another example is the extraction in full mode into a table that is not to be deleted before extraction.
- If the source has more than 16 key fields, then no DB table can be created with these key fields. Therefore, the table also has to have a technical key.
