Data Extraction from Multi Provider:

Now in SAP BW 7.3, we can extract data from Multi Provider which is not possible in earlier version.
Please check the below screen.
Delta Init without Data:

This option specifies whether the first request of delta DTP should be transferred without any data. This is
same as Initialization without data transfer in Delta Info Package.
If we select this option, the source data is only flagged as extracted and is not moved to the target (first
request of delta DTP will get successful with one record).This option will sets the data mart status for the
requests in source and we cannot extract this requests using delta DTP anymore.
We will have this option in Extraction tab of Data transfer Process and can be seen in the below screen as
well.
Note: If we are running any DTP for testing purpose, then it is not recommended to use this option. Instead, on Execute
tab page, set the processing type to Mark Source Data as Retrieved.

Parallel Extraction:
System uses Parallel Extraction to execute the DTP when the following conditions are met.
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
The Source of the DTP supports Parallel Extraction (Ex: Data Source)
Error Handling is De-activated.
The list for creating semantic groups in DTPs and transformations is empty.
The Parallel Extraction field is selected.
This field allows us to control the processing type of the Data Transfer Process and switch between the
Parallel Extraction and Processing and Serial Extraction, Immediate Parallel Processing processing types.
How it works: If the system is currently using the processing type Parallel Extraction and Processing, we
can select this option and change the processing type to Serial Extraction, Immediate Parallel Processing.
If the system is currently using the processing type Serial Extraction, Immediate Parallel Processing, we
can select the Parallel Extraction field and change the processing type to Parallel Extraction and
Processing (provided that error handling is deactivated and the list of grouping fields is empty).
Note: This filed will be selected automatically if source of the DTP support parallel extraction.

Automatically Repeat Red Requests in Process Chains:

Lets consider our DTP is included in daily running process chain and its failed due to some error in the
previous run of daily process chain. This option will evaluate when the process chain runs next time.
How it works: If we select this option, the previous request that contains errors is automatically deleted and a
new one is started.
If we didnt select this option, then the DTP terminates and an error message appears explaining that no new
request can be started until the previous request is either repaired or deleted.
Use: This option reduces the manual work making the request the red and deleting from target. Failed
process chains at DTP step will be repaired automatically.
Note: If DTP is Delta, then the repaired request contains failed as well as the data loaded to the source since then.
Sometimes this may lead to the data inconsistency in the target. Based on condition we have to choose whether to
select this option or not.
