Documentation
Definition
Use
If you set this indicator, duplicate data records are handled during an update in the order in which they occur in a data package.
- For time-independent attributes of a characteristic, the last data record with the corresponding key within a data package defines the valid attribute value for the update for a given data record key.
- For time-dependent attributes, the validity ranges of the data record values are calculated according to their order (see example).
If the indicator is not set and error handling is deactivated, the request terminates once data records with the same key are detected. If error handling is activated, data records that have the same key are written to the error stack of the DTP.
Note:
If during your data quality measures you want to make sure that the data packages delivered by the DTP are not modified by the master data update, you must not set this indicator.
Dependencies
Notethat for time-dependent master data, the semantic key of the DTP is not allowed to contain the field of the data source that contains the DATETO information.
Example
Handling of time-dependent data records
- Data record 1 is valid from 01.01.2006 to 31.12.2006
- Data record 2 has the same key but is valid from 01.07.2006 to 31.12.2007
The system corrects the time interval for data record 1 to 01.01.2006 to 30.06.2006. As of 01.07.2006, the next data record in the data package (data record 2) is valid.
