Full load in OBIA

Hi Everyone,

I have a simple scenario of executing a full load in our OBIA system. Our system has been in use for more than a year now and full load has been done many other times also, apart from the initial full load. The query from me is : do I need to run a domain load before the main data load each time a warehouse full load is done? Or is it okay to just do a 'Reset warehouse scenario' from BIACM. The BIAPPS version used is 11.1.1.9.2.

Thanks

Jay

    You definitely do not need to do a domain load first.  We do full loads all the time while we work out our ETLs.

  • Hi Jay,

      OBIA load plan contains ETL tasks which loads domain tables. This is to refresh/update the domain tables which are need to load data in dimension tables.

    However it is always advisable to execute domain load plan once before you do a full load so that all your domain tables are up to date.

    If you do that, won't it overwrite your custom mappings?  I thought a domain load went to the source system to get the initial mappings, which you then customize.

  • It not mandatory to do domain load every time you do a full load. Specially if you have customized the domain related ETL Mappings. In this case, you can go ahead and run the ETL Load plan for Full load.
