Configuring the Request File and Data Extraction Parameters

Use step 3 of the Generate Mapping for BCI Wizard to configure the request file and data extraction parameters. The procedure varies depending on the update mode and the DataSource type that you select.

When you perform a delta update, select a delta update mode and optionally enter a selection value range in the Initialize Delta Queue area. Enter a selection value range if you want to filter the data.

When you perform a full update, optionally enter a selection value range in the Selection Criteria area. Enter a selection value range if you want to filter the data. If you are creating a processing mapping for a hierarchy DataSource, perform the same steps to configure the request file and data extraction parameters. However, before you send the request file, you must select a particular hierarchy within the hierarchy DataSource.

To configure the request file and data extraction parameters:

In step 3 of the Generate Mapping for BCI Wizard, optionally click Revert to populate all settings from a previously saved request file for the DataSource.

If you click Revert, go to Naming and Generating the Processing Mapping.

Enter a directory for the request file or click the Browse button and select a directory.

Select an existing Delta Initialization Request.

- or -

Select Create New.

If you are creating a new delta initialization request, enter a from and to value range.

If you are creating a processing mapping for a hierarchy DataSource, select the hierarchy for which you want to send the request.

Select an update mode:

Full
. Extracts all the data. If you select Full, enter a from and to value range for the selection criteria.

Delta
. Extracts the data that has changed since the last data extraction.

Click the Initialize button.

The delta queue is initialized.
