Generic Delta Function Module Using...

The document discusses developing a generic extractor in SAP BW that is function module based with delta enabling. The extractor needs to retrieve different data depending on the update mode (full or delta). For delta loads, the extractor wants to retrieve all data changed since the last run. For full loads, it wants to use a date parameter to filter the data. The author copied the template function module but is unable to pass the update mode parameter to their custom function module. Other users provide suggestions and links to documentation on implementing delta loads in a function module extractor.

Generic Delta Function Module using...

Generic Delta Function Module using Update Mode (I_UPDATE) 24 Mar, 2010 1:07 AM
Hi BI Guru's
I am working in BW 7.0 and I need to develop a Generic Extractor that is Function Module based with Delta
Enabling.
The data selection has to be customized based on the Update Mode (F / D / S / C). We want to have a different
select if the update mode is full or delta.
For delta load we want aedat GE l_r_aedat-low - Take everything from last run
and for full we want to use aedat in l_r_aedat just the entered date
As SAP suggests, I copied the template FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA (which has II_UPDMODE as one of
the Import parameters: suppose to hold the Update Mode like Full or Delta) and adopted with our business
requirements. Te problem is when I run RSA3 to test the extraction it goes right to function FUNCTION
RSA3_GET_DATA_SIMPLE then it goes to my copyof FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA . ( I assume the
infopackage will do the same in BI as RSA3)
When it call my FM variable S_FNAME it does not pass I_UPDATE shown below,
CALL FUNCTION
S_FNAME
EXPORTING
I_REQUNR
= S_S_IF_SIMPLE-REQUNR
I_DSOURCE
= S_S_IF_SIMPLE-DSOURCE
I_MAXSIZE
= S_S_IF_SIMPLE-MAXSIZE
I_INITFLAG
= S_S_IF_SIMPLE-INITFLAG
TABLES
How can I have the update mode passed to my FM ? Is there a way to change the function that is called in
RSA3?
Any isuggestions will be appreciated
Thanks,
George

Hi Ashish,
Thanks for the document, however it just describes the simple extract. I need to have the ability to use
I_UPDATE, it looks like your second document Functional Module Based Generic Datasource Part 2 may
cover this. Can you provide me with the link to this article if it is written? I tried a search but it did not come up.
Thanks

Hi!
You can use only pseudo delta in function module extraction.

look at :

Generic Delta Function Module using...

You can get a function module delta extractor to work with a function modeled after RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA
which contains the i_updmode.
1. It seems that datasource needs to be transactional.
2. Create your datasource in RSO2. Make sure you click the button for generic delta. Don't need to enter
anything in there if you don't need it in your function module.
3. After the datasource has been created, run a program with the following update statement:
UPDATE roosource
SET delta = 'E'
exmethod = 'F1'
WHERE oltpsource = 'name_of_your_datasource'.
4. Then go into your function module and rename the table parameter "e_t_data" to "e_t_" and then the name
of your extractor structure as entered in the datasource definition.
5. Go into RSA5 and reactivate your datasource.

Hello.
I am also working on a generic FM with delta enabled. Would you be so kind and post entire example? It would
be mush easier for us to do one ourself.
I am currently working with FM RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA.
Thanks in advance.

Hi AhmedZ,
a good example for delta handling is the function module PSBW_GET_WBS_ELEMENT of the DataSource
0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR...
