FI Extraction-Once a day

Question

Hi,
How many times a day we can extract the FI data that is FI-GL,AR,AP for a day.
I heard that we have to extract the FI delat data once  a day.
Is there any specific reason for it.
If i want to extarct more then once a day, is there any setting i have to do.
Regards,
Pratap

Hi Pratap,
By Default, the FI (0FI_*_4) Extractors are configured to extract delta once a day. If you want to pull delta more than once in day, you have to configure Minute based Delta. You can refer this SAP Note for more information.
Note 991429 - Minute Based extraction enhancement for 0FI_*_4 extractors
Symptom
You would like to implement a 'minute based' extraction logic for the data sources 0FI_GL_4, 0FI_AR_4 and 0FI_AP_4.
Currently the extraction logic allows only for an extraction once per day without overlap.
Reason and Prerequisites
1. There is huge volume of data to be extracted on a daily basis from FI to BW and this requires lot of time.
2. You would like to extract the data at a more frequent intervals in a day like 3-4 times in a day - without extracting all the data that you have already extracted on that day.
In situations where there is a huge volume of data to be extracted, a lot of time is taken up when extracting on a daily basis. Minute based extraction would enable the extraction to be split into convenient intervals and can be run multiple times during a day. By doing so, the amount of data in each extraction would be reduced and hence the extraction can be done more effectively. This should also reduce the risk of extractor failures caused because of huge data in the system.

Hope this helps.
