Loading bulk data into an ODS

Former Member

Hi,

I've to extract big volume of data (millions of records) into an ODS. But the problem is, I cannot give selections in the infopackage as there are no fields in data selection tab.

If I extract all the data, then ods activation would definately fail. Is there any of doing this?

Many Thx.

Hi Siggi, Roberto.

We do have a space limitation.. as this is not a production environment, but a test environment. But I've to load from R3 system, which is a copy of Prod-R3.

Thus even if I load records more than say 200,000.. activation fails.

Many Thx.

So, or your company/customer buy additional disk space (as for R/3 test !) or you can't load everything as in your production environment and you have to choose only a sample of your record and load only this subset !

Hope it helps (and don't forget to thank by assigning some points!)!

Hi,

ok, that explains the issue. But anyway, do what we already suggested and maintain your datasource and set one or more of the fields to selection criterias and you will be able to limit the load.

Hi Roberto,

Can you please elaborate a bit...I could not understand.

Many Thx

I think that with Siggi's post you can have another version of the same suggestion and maybe you are better understanding..

anyway, if you want to split your load in several steps (in order to avoid a unique request with a lot of records) go to RSA6, search your datasource, check 'selection' column for a certail field, activate, replicate source system and then you will find your field available for selection in IP !

But I suggested also to check why you have an activation error, since it's not a normal situation: you can easily load one million record in the active table of your ODS...investigate about the reason and try to remove the cause !

Hope now is clearer...

Hi,

why should it fail? Do you have limitations on disc space? I already loaded millions of records to ods objects without failure.

If you want to have selection criterias in the infopackage, you need to maintain your datasource and select the fields you like as selection criteria, replicate the ds, activate the transfer rules again and voilá, you will have selection criterias.

Hi Somnath,

you can do a field available for selection in RSA6 !

Then you can manage several dataloading...

Try this out !

Anyway, you have to check why your activation fails!

Maybe you need some more disk space...or this can be a tablespace problem...see dump and system logs and ask for some help from your basis team...

Hope it helps!

Bye,

Roberto
