Does re-running a MDM Initial Load restart from the first record?

Former Member

Is there a way to restart an Initial load? I was running a new initial materials load in my ECC system for MDM (MDM_CLNT_EXTR) which was running a very long time (5 days). The background job hit a bad piece of data and crashed.

My question is: when I re-run my initial load job, will it start over from the first record, or will it pick up from the last material/IDOC and resume processing? I would prefer not to re-process all 1.7M materials since the job was very near the end before it crashed.

Thanks,

Denis

Hello,

There are two modes which are available in Client Extractor, Initial and Delta.

If you select Initial it will start from the first record, that you mention in the selection Criteria.

In Delta mode, any new records created will be sent to MDM.

For your issue, in the initial mode, select the Material Number from and to, which have not been updated in MDM.

This is will ensure, that only the records that have not been sent.

Regards,

Abhishek
