Documentation
Definition
The time characteristic is not part of the key, but should be used as a partitioning characteristic for the archiving.
Use
The time characteristic is used to partition the archive and for area protection when new records are loaded and activated.
Dependencies
Complete area protection against the loading and activation of new records cannot be guaranteed with this selection. If a new data record is loaded that contains the same key as a data record that has already been loaded but that in relation to the time characteristic lies outside the area that has already been archived, this constellation cannot be recognized without a time-consuming lookup of individual records in the archive, which is not executed at activation for performance reasons.
Example
For example, a table contains a validity interval consisting of a from-date and a to-date. The from-date is a key characteristic; the to-date is not. If you are sure that a to-date is always only decreased, or at least is only increased minimally, the to-date can also be used as a partitioning characteristic for the archiving.
