Best approach to replace resident load with preceding load?

Wed, 09 Nov 2016 17:49:14 GMT

To all the subject matter experts working with preceding loads,

Below is an example from my load script in its current state. It has been recommended to optimize this script by removing the resident loads and doing a preceding load. There is a Original Coverage Key and a Current Coverage Key in the fact table. I thought resident load would be the most simplistic way to link Coverage key to the appropriate key in the fact. Any suggestions on what this would look like if I was to do a preceding load?

I read other blogs that emphasize on the benefit and I have seen some examples. But, I have not seen an example where there is multiple tables being loaded, and also if there is no calculation being added to the next level. Your input is appreciated. Thanks
