Definition

This indicator is set if the DataSource delivers time-dependent data.

A DataSource is time-dependent if it has a selection field that defines either the lower or upper limit of the validity of the data.

Use

In the InfoPackage, on the Update tab page, you can define the validity interval in which the data to be requested must lie.

Dependencies

For DataSources in an SAP or BW source system, the corresponding selection fields with the field names DATEFROM or DATETO are already defined in the source system and replicated in BW.

  • For time-dependent DataSources that use generic data extraction, the following is valid:
    If in the table, from which extraction is to take place, the time-dependency is displayed with field names other than DATETO / DATEFROM (for example, DATBI / DATAB), a database view must be created that maps these fields to DATETO / DATEFROM. If the DataSource was previously created, it must be activated again. Otherwise changes to the database view will not be transferred to the generated extraction structure.
  • For time-dependent DataSources from BI Content, the following is valid:
    In DataSources delivered in BI Content, the time-dependency can also be displayed with other field names than DATETO / DATEFROM.
    Provided that the DataSource exists as DataSource 3.x (object type R3TR ISFS) and is "emulated" as such, the corresponding fields in BI can be assigned to the InfoObjects 0DATETO and 0DATEFROM by maintaining the transfer rules. This ensures that, regarding the selection, they are handled in exactly the same way as the fields with the field names DATETO und DATEFROM are handled during generic extraction.
    If the DataSource exists as a DataSource (object type R3TR RSDS), this kind of assignment is no longer possible.
