Enabling delta functionality using classification datasource

[Former Member]

Hi People,

I have a scenario where Classification Datasource is used and since being full load its taking more than 8 hours to extract and we need to convert it

to delta load. Could someone please help out with following doubts:

1. Is classification datasource only used for extending Master data, as the basis datasource used here is 2LIS_13_VAITM?

2. Does this type of datasource support delta?

Please let me know in case more inputs required.

Aniket,

Based on how the classification datasource is configured, it should have the ability to inherit the delta property of the base datasource. In this case since 2LIS_13_VAITM is delta capable, your generated classification datasource should also be.

I worked on this 10 years ago so my knowledge is admittedly rusty, but in general to answer your questions:

1 - It can be linked to transaction data as well (for example variants of an item in different sales order wouldn't link to the product/material as master data, but would be linked to the sales order document). Depends on what information from classification you are pulling.

2 - As mentioned above, delta should be feasible in your case.

Cheers,

Hi,

You might have to experiment a bit with the configuration. Please also refer to the following documentation:

• Classification Datasource and associated tables;
• SAP Note 306046 - Characters of classifctn - attributes in BW;
• SAP Note 1460199 - Creating DataSource for article classifications.

Best regards,
