What is delta replication in SAP SCM-APO - Advanced Planning and Optimization?

SAP Term: delta replication

• Component: SCM-APO

• Component Name: Advanced Planning and Optimization

• Description: Replication of the changes in the planning data that have occurred since the last full replication or delta replication has taken place. After the full replication of the planning data from SAP APO to SAP HANA based on the replication model is executed, the changes in the data are replicated using delta replication.

• Key Concepts: 
  Delta Replication is a process used in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (SCM-APO) to transfer data from one system to another. It is used to synchronize data between two systems, such as a production system and a development system. Delta Replication only transfers the data that has changed since the last replication, which makes it more efficient than a full replication. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Delta Replication, you must first set up the source and target systems. The source system is the system that contains the data that needs to be replicated, while the target system is the system that will receive the replicated data. Once the systems are set up, you can configure Delta Replication to transfer only the data that has changed since the last replication. This can be done by setting up a filter that specifies which fields should be replicated. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up Delta Replication, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary fields are included in the filter. This will ensure that all of the relevant data is transferred during each replication. Additionally, it is important to regularly check for any errors or inconsistencies in the replicated data. This will help ensure that all of the data is accurate and up-to-date. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Delta Replication is similar to other replication processes, such as Full Replication and Incremental Replication. Full Replication transfers all of the data from one system to another, while Incremental Replication only transfers data that has changed since a certain point in time. Delta Replication combines these two processes by transferring only the data that has changed since the last replication.
