What is the functionality of incremental load ?

[Anonymous]

Hi

I have to execute incremental load but I want to know how incremental load works?

It overwrites the existing records?

or it adds all new records in the files?

Maybe this could help

It will load only new records based on the key field and then u need to concatenate it with old data.

Suppose u have \

ID,Salary

1,200

2,300

Now you have loaded the data.

If some more IDs are coming, suppose, ID =3,4,5.

then u can use incremental load to load these IDs data.

It will load only data for these Ids=3,4,5 and then u need to concatenate Id=1,2 data into it.

It is a kind of best practice if u have large amount of data and u need to refresh QVD daily based on date.

Thanks for sharing the link. Following is my script and I want to execute insert and update in incremental load.

I have following tables  connected with sql

How to execute incremental load?

is this the way?

[zahidrahim_ocp]

I am refreshing my QVD where my data source is Oracle

TempTable:

LOAD MAX(LAST_UPDATE_DATE) AS LUD

FROM  [Lib://QVD/<QVDNAME>.qvd]  (qvd);

LET MAX_LUD = Timestamp(peek('LUD')) ;

trace ($(MAX_LUD));

[oe_order_headers_all]:

SQL SELECT  HEADER_ID,

            LAST_UPDATE_DATE AS OOHA_LAST_UPDATE_DATE,

            <MORE COLUMNS>

FROM <TABLE NAME>

WHERE TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(LAST_UPDATE_DATE,'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM'),'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM') > TO_DATE('$(MAX_LUD)', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss AM');

Concatenate

Load *

FROM  [Lib://QVD/<QVDNAME>.qvd] (qvd)

WHERE NOT Exists(HEADER_ID);

STORE oe_order_headers_all INTO [Lib://QVD/<QVDNAME>.qvd] (qvd);

Drop Table oe_order_headers_all;

Drop Table TempTable;

Hi By using Incremental load, we can achieve different functionality based on requirement.

please refer following link to understand

https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2014/09/qlikview-incremental-load/

.

[shiveshsingh]

so this code seems ok now, what problem are u getting in executing the script?

For getting the first value, u need to put 0 in the peek statement.

LET MAX_LUD = Timestamp(peek('LUD',0,'TempTable')) ;

[zahidrahim_ocp]

NO Problem. It is executing perfectly. Adding new records and updating existing one.

If answer is correct please mark as answered.

[zahidrahim_ocp]

The script will return only one row as max function is used and 0 in peek will return first row.
