Master data - clarification

[Former Member]

Hi

I am working with som masterdata loads to a masterdata infoobjects, but I need to try to understand something. When I load data to the text for a master data, we can look at "manage" to see all the request that has been loaded. these request, are they just a picture that show us that the masterdata has been updated, or do they contain data at all?

The reason is that I have a masterdata load that is loading everyday, and it loads alot of data. I want therefore to delete all the old data request package before loading a full load. But if this is not data in these requests datapackage, I don't need to do this.

Please can someone provide me with some good expenation arround this, thanks

Hi Helge,

Basically master data is always loaded in overwrite mode and any request deletion from manage tab will not delete master data from underlying tables, it will just delete entry from some log tables.

The entries shown on Manage tab for master data load are just for information purpose to check when the master data was loaded in past. You can just leave those entries as it is.

Hi,

These request numbers for master data are just for display/log purpose. Deleting these requests will not delete data from the infoobject.
