Workflow - Load Methods
I have a source file that will be updated/changed with the entities being loaded every time when it is loaded via a WF.In Order to preserve the balances of the Entities previously loaded I am thinki...
Splitting by Source ID would work, but there is also an Append load option
Thanks Eric! I tried appending and it accumulates the balances if an entity was previously loaded, and a new balance was updated for the same entity. So, I think in order to Merge the data split by source ID is the option.
I tried with Entity as Source ID to enable Merge Mode load. However, there is a restriction on number. of Source IDs per Workflow (1000).
Appreciate any other suggestions to load data in Merge Mode.
Hello vmanojrc30 , wondering if you managed to get to the bottom of the "merge" mode load. I am working on a couple of solutions also - so thought I'd check-in. Thanks, Dimitrios
Hi dimitriosc
I used Source ID field to map the dimension/dimension members I want to Merge data .Note that Source IDs have a ,imitation of 1000.
Thanks vmanojrc30 - I guess the complexity comes in if you want to upload specific intersections. For example you are importing a full TB for Entity A; then day2 you want to update 3 data intersections in the BS, Day 3 you want to update a couple more lines in your IS, etc - is your approach related to "merging" complete a complete dataset for an entity? If you have some availability it would be great to connect over a call to discuss in more detail
