Creating InfoPackages
Use
If your data flow is modeled with transformations, if you are using a new or emulated DataSource, the InfoPackage loads into the PSA only. Data is distributed within the BI system with the data transfer process.
Only the parameters that are not already defined in the DataSource are defined on the tabs of the InfoPackage maintenance. Parameters that refer to the target of the data update that follows the PSA are defined in the data transfer process.
Procedure
You are in an object tree in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
...
1. Mark the required DataSource and choose Creating InfoPackages in the context menu.
2. You get to the scheduler of the BI system.
3. On the Data Selection tab, define the selection criteria for the data transfer. If there are hierarchies, define which hierarchy you want to load on the Hierarchy Selection tab.
4. The Extraction tab page shows you the settings made in the DataSource for the adapter and data format.
5. On the Processing tab page, define if the consistency check should be performed for characteristics. Under Parallelism, define how the parallel processing of the processes should be performed. Since the data is only updated in the PSA, no further definitions are required to update the data.
6. On the Update tab page, define the update mode if required. The possible selections are displayed depending on the DataSource.
7. If required, define if the data should also be updated if there is no master data for the data or if no data update should be performed as soon as no master data exists for a characteristic.
8. If necessary, define the time selection for time-dependent data.
9. Save the InfoPackage.
Result
You can now use the InfoPackage in a process chain. It is available there as a process variant for process type Execute InfoPackage. Alternatively you can schedule the InfoPackage in the scheduler. We recommend its use in process chains.
