Regarding Repairful Request

What is the exact functionality of a repairful request?

1. Repair Full Request is used to load data as Full Upload when the delta initialization is already done 

2. Used to load missing data / specific corrupt data 

3.And third one, I think wavered a little is when you are doing full load on the infoprovider for which the delta initialization is already done then you need to tick the check box of repair option from the scheduler menu

Repaire full request prefarably to ODS in Overwrite mode only.... You will get this option for infocube infopackage also... but not supposed to use(data will be added)

Repair full is used when an ODS is on delta and you have to do a full load on it depending on some certain selection criteria.

Say you have ODS1 which is on delta. Now obviously a full request to this will not allow you to activate since its on delta already. Now you find that say example for a particular month, the data has gone bad. You have the option of deleting this via selective delete. 

Now, you have to reload the data for this month via same selections. Now you mark this request as repair full. You can mark it repair full in the option Scheduler -> Repaire full and tick the option.

Repair full request is nothing but a Full load, the only difference is that it is marked as "Repair", I hope you know that an ODS does not allow Full loads if Deltas are activated. So to fix some issue in an ODS, we might need to do a Full load, which is done by a FULL REPAIR request. If you do a Full Load into an ODS(Delta enabled) the activation will fail.

To mark a Full Load as a Repair Full Request :

In the Infopackage goto Menu Scheduler -> Repair FUll request -> Tick, this option will be enabled only if the Infopackage has been set to Full Load in the update tab.
