Generic Delta Field

Hi ,
How to identify delta fields in table that must be used in Generic extraction  ?
Ex :
In VBAK , LFA1 , what is delta field , How to identify the delta fields in any table  ?
Regards

Hi ,
See VBELN is SD no in VBAK ( Header ) .
It will change in item Can i use this as DELTA .
IN LFA1 , LIFNR is vendor no is primary key , can we use this as delta .
As far as delta is considered only that new posting records will come , So if we are giving VBELN , It is only one time , How could i use it as delta , I cannot ..

  • Generic delta extractor on view with ALE

    Hello.
    Extractor 0RT_WRF1_ATTR has type V and generic delta setting Numeric Pointer. Generic delta field is empty. Delta Process = A (ALE Update Pointer (Master Data)). ALE delta setting includes all fields of extractor structure. But changing one of these fields doesn't push new records into datasource.
    Can you please explain, how generic delta works with ALE pointers аnd why no data is delivered?

    CC,
    Check on deletion data available in table(with any indicator updated) or not available in table.
    If not available, you can not get delta through generic datasouce.
    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.

  • 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

  • Two fields for generic delta

    I have to create one data source which will contain two fields for generic delta...extraction of data will be through FM.SAP provides a standard functionality to create a generic delta. This can only be build on one selected field.
    The logic of the functional module is based on two fields: ICRDT (creation date) and IUPDT (change date). The module should look for both day because when a new records is created the change date does not get populated in R3.
    Can anyone pls help me out?

    Hello Siggi,
    i have to create an delta enabled extractor for a database table.
    The database table (=EAUS) contains the fields "ERDAT" and "AEDAT".
    I'm a Newbie in ABAP und so i read some blogs, articles and how to do papers here.
    But my tests haven't work:
    1. I created a structure in SE11 for extraction. The structure contains all the of the database tabel (=EAUS)
    2. Then I created a data element "ZDATE" in SE11. I integrated ZDATE in the structure.
    3. Then I copied function group "RSAX" and function module "RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE" in our namespace.
    4. I used the copied function module as a template and adapted the coding in the function module.   The coding is from the paper "Functional Module Based Delta Enabled Generic Datasource"   
    But i doesn't work. My deltaenabled generic datasource doesn't get the deltas. In RSA3 with update mode "D" no data records were selected. (I create new records in the database EAUS before I checked the extraction). The update mode "F" and "C" works.
    Can you help me and send me the coding of your function module?
    Many thanks!

  • Generic delta   using function module with two fields  AEDAT AND ERDAT

    Hi,
        i have scenario that i have to create a generic data source  having delta using funcation module and the delta speci fields are AEDAT AND ERDAT . Is there possibility with out using these two fields ( i mean AEDAT AND ERDAT)  in the extract structure can i create the data source . and provide sample code for me . it is very urgent.
    waiting for the reply,

    Hi Sri,
    here some coding, I hope this helps!
    first, get the delta-field
          LOOP AT s_s_if-t_select INTO l_s_select.
            CASE l_s_select-fieldnm.
              WHEN 'ZDATE'.

                IF r_date-high IS INITIAL OR r_date-high = space.
                  r_date-high = '9991231'.
                ENDIF.
                APPEND r_date.
            ENDCASE.
          ENDLOOP.
    Cursor öffnen
          OPEN CURSOR WITH HOLD s_cursor FOR

    PS: Note that this coding only works for a very straight forward extraction.

    Hi,
    First check the asset Scr.layout rule for asset class by using path -
    Spro>Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Organizational Structures>Asset Classes-->Define Asset Classes
    Select your asset class and check - asset Scr.layout rule .
    Then go to -
    Spro>Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Master Data>Screen Layout-->Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data
    Click on - Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data
    Select your Screen layout which you got earlier. In Logical Field group select 'Inv. account assignment'. and double click on field group rule.Then make required changes in 'Investment Order' as required - Required, optional, display.
    Then check asset master data in AS02.

  • What type of generic delta to use and what field?

    Dear BW Gurus,
    I am creating a generic datasource based on a view BSAK and BSIK (Accounts Payable tables). I am not able to determine what type of generic delta (numeric pointer, calender day or timestamp) should i use and what field in the table should it that be based on? All or any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Raj

    CALDAY on field BLDAT (in both tables) seem an obvious candidate.
    Added - You will need help from functional people (or you can try it in ABAP forum) to determine which date field is updated with the system date when these tables are updated with SAP txns (some hint can be had by looking at the data)- the fields of interest would be -
    BUDAT
    BLDAT
    CPUDT
    It is almost certain that CALDAY is the only option you have for delta type, and one of these three fields will have to be chosen.

  • Generic Delta with numeric pointer (Without safety interval and no field)

    Hi
    We have problems with Generic Delta extraction. Our previous Dev has created the data source with numeric pointer as the data source without any safety interval and without any field for numeric pointer selection even we have the date field (creation and change dates in view)....
    He created the generic delta with numeric pointer and Additive delta selection on top of view (EKKO,EKPO and EKKN). So we are missing lot of records. Now I need to fix this asap, I have done generic delta with timestamp and cal day with change/creation date.
    Now in order to fix our delta loads should I use the cal day as the delta pointer with change or creation date already available or is it ok to use numeric pointer with additive delta and safety lower limit as 10 or 20 with upper limit blank?
    Also Should I use any field in the field nm section or is it ok to leave it blank ? Please advice...
    Note: I checked the missing delta records in ECC and the change timing is in the afternoon and our load time is only night...We also have several other data sources with same settings (numeric with no safety and no field) but it is not giving any issues.
    Thanks

    Hi Ganesh  ,
      I'm a little confuse,Why are you not use LO Delata for it?

  • Generic Delta based off TimeStamp field is extracting full load

    I have a generic delta in place which is extracting a full load every time instead of only extracting the changes.
    I have created a generic delta based off a timestamp using a "Last Changed by" field of type Dec15, format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
    This datasource is populated via a FM which is only used to update two fields, all other fields (including last changed by field) are taken straight from the source table. Entries to the last changed by field are entered like this:
    20080310021530, then show up like this: 20,080,310,021,530.
    All relevent entries are showing in the tables ROOSOURCE, ROOSGENDLM, and ROOSPRMSC. There is also an entry in RSA7, status Green, Total = 1, and Status is showing the correct Delta relevent field as well as the correct timestamp of the last extraction.
    The entry in ROOSGENDLM contains:
    Current Pointer          Repeat Pointer
    20080320091503       20080320091653                               
    Yet every time I extract a "delta" from BI, it pulls a full load.
    Does anyone have an idea of how I can get the generic delta to work properly? I'm using 7.0 transformation/DTP. This field in BI uses a routine to convert the timestamp to a date field. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I think I found the issue. This timestamp is UTC timestamp, and until we implement SP13 (which is being onboarded in a week), this type of timestamp is not delta-relevent. Only timestamps on the local application server are delta-relevent pre-SP13, which can cause issues if the time is updated in a different timesone (to the east) of the application server.
    The following note corrects this issue:

  • 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

    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.

  • Generic Delta with Timestamp Field

    Dear SDN Team,
    We changed one of our HR datasource from FULL to DELTA with Timestamp(TMSTMP)-Time Stamp(UTC).
    Which Delta we need to take Timestamp(Local) or Timestamp(UTC)
    Our Generic Datasource is based on Function Module.This data source contains HR Hours Data i.e Direct Hours & Indirect Hours.
    With interval settings has
    Safety Interval Upper Limit - 'Blank' .
    Safety Interval Lower Limit - 1800
    New status for Changed Records (Selected)
    It is a HR Generic Data Source.
    We are creating the records in PA30,PA40 and going to take the records from PA0000,PA0001
    Delta type for this DS is "AIE" as our delta type process for our DS.
    I am trying to load the INIT to Cube,but its not allowing to load,saying with 'AIE' delta type its not possible to load to cube.
    I changed the delta type to 'ADD' then the safety interval limits changed to
    Safety Interval Upper Limit - 1800 .
    Safety Interval Lower Limit - Blank.
    Additive Delta (selected)
    Is it possible to load the Generic Delta Time stamp to Cube?
    Please let us know what are the settings & delta type needs to be there to load the Generic Delta Timestamp to Cube.
    Your suggestions are really appreciated.
    Thanks and Kind Regards,

  • Generic delta with time stamp

    Is it possible to work with generic delta with  timestamp without time chracterstics , and calday with out date feilds.
    PLZ can any one provide reply to my thread.
    Edited by: aumdeepa on Aug 5, 2011 11:47 AM

    If it failed in BW (request is red) and you do a delta  - system will ask to mark it a 'repeat' because the last one failed. When you choose 'repeat', it is going to let the extractor know that it is a repeat delta.
    In this case, it will extract data from 25th to current date (both last and current delta).
    Repeat delta will work the same, just that the lower and upper limits will be applied to the selection of the delta field.
    Lower limit -> adjust back the lower selection value by this value
    upper limit ->Adjust back the upper selection value by this much.
    upper limit 1, lower limit 1 (by the way lower limit isn't usually applicable in real situations)
    Ran delta on 20th first time
    Select all data upto 19th (adjusted due to upper limit)
    Ran again on 23rd
    Select from 19th (ie 20 - 1 due to lower limit 1) upto 22nd (ie 23 - 1 due to upper limit)
    Ran on 27th
    Select from 21st (22 - 1 due to lower limit 1) upto 26th (27 - 1 due to upper limit) and so on.
    Repeat delta will follow this logic but will also bring the selection that was executed in the last delta run.
    Hope it clears.

  • Problem with functioning Generic Delta

    Hi Expert !
    I Have Created a Generic Delta and has Scheduled the Delta Load By Means of Process Chain In BI Side.
    Although it is showing Green(OK) status for the respected Request at PSA(saying No Data Exists FOR PSA) and ODS Lavel but no data is loaded at ODS.
    although the data for the same crieria is available in R/3 side.
    please share your idea what is reason behind........
