Definition

Write mode into the database table for an Open Hub Destination

Use

The write mode has two characteristic values:

  1. Delete Table before Extraction is deactivated

In this case, the extracted data records are added to the database table using an 'INSERT'. Any structural differences between the database table and extracted data are bridged using a 'MOVE-CORRESPONDING', which involves combining fields which have the same name. BEWARE: Where a record is extracted with the same key as a record already in the system, a short cump occurs due to the presence of duplicate records. We recommend this record when wanting to keep a history of the extracted data.

  1. Delete Table before Extraction activated

In this case, the table is completely deleted and then regenerated before extraction takes place. Structural changes made in the template structures are copied into the InfoSpoke template structures. The insertion of duplicate records is thus implicitly avoided. We recommend this mode when a data history is not to be stored in the table.
