Documentation
Definition
Determines how data collection treats data records that were written previously.
Use
An update mode applies to a block of data records to be written. How the blocks are built depends on a higher-level criterion. For dependent (compound) characteristics this is typically the associated independent characteristic.
You can choose one of the following update modes:
- Delete All
Deletes the data records that existed prior to the upload. Only the uploaded data (from the last upload) remains in the system.
- Delete Uploaded Data
Deletes only the existing data related to the objects (such as the consolidation unit) contained in the uploaded file. The data of these objects is fully replaced by the data that is uploaded.
- Overwrite
Writes the upload data while overwriting existing data and adding new data.
- Do Not Modify
Data that belongs to objects that already exist in the system is not uploaded. Only new data is added.
Dependencies
The effects described above merely demonstrate the general principle of the update modes. There are variations of these effects depending on which type of data is collected. In addition, some modes are not available for certain types of data. For more information, see SEM-BCS documentation in the SAP Library at Data Collection -> Automatic Data Collection -> Control of Data Collection Through Update Mode.
Example
For detailed examples of the effects of the update mode on data collection, see SEM-BCS documentation in the SAP Library at Data Collection -> Automatic Data Collection -> Data Collection: Examples.
