When the job is run and DA compares a DATE with a VARCHAR, DA uses the FORMAT to parse the VARCHAR
value to a DATE prior to performing the comparison.
The Comparison FORMAT_DATE can be used in a similar way:
create job job2
add comparison cmpson2
set compareset cs1
and set format_date ‘yyyy MMM dd’
go
Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages:
● The Comparison FORMAT_DATE option is easier to configure and will apply to all columns that require
VARCHAR to DATE conversions. However, because it is generic it cannot be applied during hashing and
sorting. This is suitable for LITERAL comparisons of non-key column values only.
● The Column FORMAT option must be applied to each column that requires it (more configurations
required). However, because it is specific to a column it works well with hashing and sorting. Use this when
the Comparison FORMAT_DATE is not appropriate.
1.2 Support for Scale Rounding at the Comparison and
Column Levels
In SAP Replication Server Data Assurance Option (SAP DA) version 15.7.1 SP204, all scale values are now at
the COMPARISON and/or COLUMN level.
The new COMPARISON SCALE option sets the scale value. SAP DA uses this value when comparing two
floating point numbers. You can override this at the column level by setting the new COLUMN SCALE option.
From version SP204, SAP DA no longer supports the COMPARER_SCALE_ROUNDING parameter. If you do
not explicitly set a COMPARISON SCALE when you create a job, DA automatically sets COMPARISON SCALE
to the value of the new configuration property DEFAULT_COMPARISON_SCALE.
Note
You can change the COMPARISON SCALE and COLUMN SCALE at any time using the ALTER JOB
command.
1.3 Run Data Assurance as a Windows Service
Configure an SAP Replication Server Data Assurance server or agent to run as a service in 64-bit Windows.
Once the Windows service is configured, you can start, stop, troubleshoot, or remove it.
