Logistic Extraction
The aim of this document is to step by step help the new users working on the LO Cockpit
The LO cockpit configuration screen (LBWE) contains following key parameters:
1. Maintenance of extract structures
2. Maintaining InfoSources
3. Activating the update
4. Job control
5. Update Mode
a) Serialized V3 Update
The document data is collected in the order it was created and transferred into the BW as a batch job.
b) Direct Delta
The extraction data is transferred directly from document postings into the BW delta queue.
The transfer sequence is the same as the order in which the data was created.
c) Queued Delta
The extraction data from document postings is collected in an extraction queue, from which a periodic
collective run is used to transfer the data into the BW delta queue.
The transfer sequence is the same as the order in which the data was created.
d) Unserialized V3 Update
This method is opposite to the Serialized V3 Update. The BW delta queue does not have to be the
same as the order in which it was posted.
