Further Processing of Data in DataStore Objects 

Purpose

After you have loaded data to a DataStore object there are various actions you can perform:

You can use a DataStore object as the source for another InfoProvider. To do this, the data must be of good quality and be Active in the system. You only have to activate the data and update it in other InfoProviders manually if you did not switch on automatic processing of the request when creating the DataStore object or during administration. However, we recommend that you use this type of automatic subsequent processing with caution. You must ensure that the processes are processed correctly, as some processes can lock each other. For more information, see Functional Constraints of Processes

To simplify the process, we also recommend that you use process chains. Process chains ensure that one process has ended before any subsequent processes are triggered.

If you do not want to use process chains, proceed as described here:

Process Flow

Process flow for updating data from DataStore objects:

...

       1.      Activating the DataStore object data: The data is in the activation queue. When you activate the data, the change log is filled with all the data required for a delta update, and the data appears in the active-data table.

       2.      Updating the data in the connected InfoProviders: This step updates the not yet processed change log data of the delta in other InfoProviders, using the transformation rules. Here, the data is already available in a cleansed and consolidated format.
