Overwrite on DSO (Without Update Rule)

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

In 3.x we can specify that a ODS is set to 'overwrite' for characteristics and Key figures in the Update rule.

How/where do we specify characteristics/key figures to overwrite without an update rule using a DSO/transformation in BI 7.0? My goal is to use BI7.0 functionality and not use 3.x.

Hi.......

In DSO there are two update mode for keyfigure........ADD and OVERWRITE.............

In transformation...........double click on the keyfigure........then you will find these two update mode.........you can choose overwrite to overwrite key figure.........

Hope this helps..........

Thank you. Therefore, characteristics are overwritten automatically?

Hi.......

Yes.........characteristics are always overwrite........because characteristics are nothing but characteristic infoobjects........ie master data........and it is always overwrite..........
