Abstract
In one aspect there is provided a method for handling deltas being posted to a repository, database, or other Business Information Warehouse (BW). The method includes receiving, at a delta handler, absolute data without an indication of a change between the received absolute data and data posted to a repository including a fact table. Identifiers are created for the received absolute data. The absolute data including the created identifier is written into a temporary table. One or more deltas are determined by performing a join of the temporary table and the fact table of the repository. The deltas correspond to the indication of the change between the received absolute data and the data posted to the repository. The delta handler provides the one or more deltas to be posted to the fact table of the repository. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.
