Delta field

Hello gurus!
Is it possible to use an alphanumeric (char) field as a delta field of a datasource. I have a code number field that has data like 1A4B5555.
If I can use this type of field (char) as a delta field what kind of delta would be (Time Stamp, Calend. Day or Numeric pointer)?
Thanks in advance.
Regards!!!

It is not possible to use an alpha numeriuc field.

How can I know the delta field for CO-PA datasource?

Hi,folks:
How can I know which is the field assigned as the delta field for CO-PA datasource,as is noticed in the note that after PI2004 the logic has been turned to general datasource,but I can't find the datasource through RSO2.
Full points will be given to u.
Martin Xie

Dear Martin,
The CO-PA DataSources generated use a separate time stamp method for the delta procedure. This procedure means that client-independent DataSources in CO-PA are normally restricted to the clients in which they were generated.
See this link...

Hope it helps.

Time Stamp Delta field for Generic Data Source

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to create a Generic Data Source based on view. This view on PA0006 and PA0105 tables.
Will you please suggest me which field i have to take as delta field.
Thanks In Advance.

Also, make sure that whenever a new record is created in those tables, field AEDTM is getting updated with system date else you will miss new records in delta unless there is a change in those newly created records.

How to check delta field in EDIDS table

Hi,
I have to create generic delta based on EDIDS (Status record) table. Since there is lot of data so i have to set delta point for this data-sources.
Could you please help to find delta field in this table?
Thanks & Regards
Devesh babu

Seems like there is no other fields which an be relevant delta.
check docnum is possible to use as numeric pointer.
Numeric pointer can be used when table allows for entering new records only.
if there is no delta relevant field, go with full load every time.
Use dso inyour data flow. so that we can introduce delta between dso to cube.
data flow like this
data source---> Every time full load to PSA--->You use delta or full load. it pulls latest request which is full to dso---> dso to cube, load delta dtp.
Need to delete the psa request before every load.
thanks

How to Identify Delta Field in DS

Hi Gurus,
1. My understanding is if a field in datasource(DS) is
set as Delta, whenever that field value changes in DS
then the delta process will initialize. (please correct
me if i am wrong) Do we need to replicate everytime
the field value is changed so that the value is updated
in the data target, if so is there a process to
automate it...
2. Can someone tell me how to identify Delta Field in a
DS for example in 0FI_AP_4. i tried to search for it in
help.sap.com but all i could find is that 0FI_AP_4 is
delta capable but couldn't find which field is set to
delta...
Thanks,
SM

Sri Mal,
   1. Yes, there should be one field enabled enabled for delta.
   2. no need to replicate every time when ever data changes. we need to replicate when DS changed. i mean not business data, if meta data changes we need to replicate the DS. let us assume you made one field for selection and one field as hide. then you need to replicate this.
3. OFI_AP_4 is standard DS. you can't enable delta for this one if SAP didn't provide that. we need to active data for this. in the SAP Documentation you can see whether it is delta capable or not.
comming to 0FI_AP_4, IT IS DELTA CAPLABLE.
Hope this helps.
All the best.

Nagesh Ganisetti.

Reg : delta field for vbbe table while creating generic extractor

hi
i want to know which field should i use to do delta from vbbe table.
do i have to ask my functional consultant for what field should ibe using or
should i decide on my own
your answer would be defintely rewarded
thanks a lot
pallavi

Hi,
I would suggest you to create a new sales document and try to find out how does it the new entry is entered in VBUK, VBUP, VBEP and VBBE tables. Also, try to change / modify and delete existing record and see the changes in the table. You need to check which date fields or any deletion indicator is set / modified or not. Do all this one by one and see the changes in the tables. Also, all these changes will be logged in change log table such as CDHDR and CDPOS. This will have all the history of changes for one sales document. Once you identify all this then it will be very easy for you to identify the delta fields. The other way is to speak to functional consultant and ask him how all these tables are affected when you change / modify / add / delete records.
Hope this helps.

Onething to tell is i am handling diff clients. All my clients r using 3.5 except this client. Very Unfortunate. They r using 2.1c. Its long back i used this version

Pls let me know if u need any further info. Anyideas welcome.

Im creating the custom datasource. So i need to give delta filed. So how can i give the delta filed for this custom datasource.

kumar

Hi,
Do you have ERDAT (Create Date) and AEDAT (Last change date) in your Extract Structure, if so please use the AEDAT as the delta field. If not, just analyze which date field has effect while changing / adding records in that table.
Let us know.

2LIS_02_ITM Delta field

Hi ,
May I know on what basis (Which is the field in R/3) the following PO extractors will extract the Delta records.
1. 2LIS_02_ITM
2. 2LIS_02_HDR
3. 2LIS_02_SCL.
Thanks

Hello,
Every extractor linked with few tables.When ever the transaction takes place in R/3 SYSTEM all the records will move into Application tables.Based on the transactions only delta records will get moved into Target system.

Delta field for generic data source based on view EKBE

Hello,
I am creating a generic datasource based on table EKBE. Can anyone please tell me what field should I use for delta. Is it BUDAT(Posting Date in the Document) or CPUDT(Day On Which Accounting Document Was Entered).
Thanks for the help.
Praveen

Hello Ajeet Singh,
Thank you very much for the reply.
I will go ahead with CPUDT.
BUDAT is the date which can be changed. I can change the date in system and chances are it will not pick in delta.
CPUDT is the date on which document was created/changed.
Thanks,
Praveen

Delta field not enabled for selection in generic data source

Hi
I have created a generic data source for the table VBFA....and for the delta pick up i have put the delta option as CALDAY on the field ERDAT...and i have selected that field for the selection option. but after i made it delta enabled the selection option got disabled.
Now when i check the info package delta selection tab that date column is not apperaing.
But when i have to run the info package for the first i dont want all the data as it has a huge set of data.
I wanted to take only this months data.
So is there any option to be set to enable this selection in info package.
please suggest.
Regards
Shilpa

Hi there,
That's the stardard behaviour. If you use delta based om ERDAT, that field won't be available for selecting.
You could for example try to build a view over VBFA, and let the field ERDAT there and another field, for example ZERDAT (that is just another alias for ERDAT). Create the delta based onyour view over the field (ERDAT), but you can still control the restrictions over the extractore with your ZERDAT.
I don't know if this is possible, this is only an assumption.
Another option could be first to create an extractor based on the table VBFA but without delta, that field ERDAT would be available. Do your full data restricting it, and after that, change your datasource to use deltas based on ERDAT. It will be unavailable than, but since you've already loaded previous full data, you could than use your delta like it is. But here, remember, your deltas will bring new and change data based on ERDAT. If it brings delta based on changed data over ERDAT to a record that you didn't brought over your full (only some data), it will be incorrect records.
Also just an assumption, did not try it.

Delta field in generic data source

Hi,
in my data source we contain fields are :
clent,data record number,material,production planning item,sector,G/L account,chart of accounts,recordmode,base unit of measure
from above fields which field was i have to keep in generic delta ?

Ok Ramakrishna,
I could see its a custom data source by looking at the fields you have mentioned..
But you need one date field or time field..on which u want to do delta..
How will you post the data to BW ,ie. based on what field?
Characteristics like Sales Number, Invoice Number,etc which holds unique and increasing value every time are used as Numeric Pointer.
But one problem with this Numeric pointer you cant update the existing records because for every transaction you have to give a Unique numeric pointer value
