• Perform a full load of the new or modified existing physical schema.
• Refer to the previous customization sections for steps on how to add new columns, dimensions, and facts.

Additional Information

Troubleshooting

• For large tables, to limit full data loads, add a SQL clause to the table query: WHERE CREATION_DATE > <DATE>. You may need to contact Incorta Support to increase your cluster size.
• Some of the formula columns will be incompatible. In this situation, the formula columns can be created in Power BI.
• A data type mismatch may occur if the parquet data types are not mapped properly to the MS SQL data types.
• If table creation fails in Synapse, this may be due to the following:
  • Key columns are not defined in the Incorta materialized view
  • Synapse is paused

Support for Source System Row Deletion

Incorta supports the deletion of rows in the source system through use of security filters. For more information, refer to Discussions on the Incorta Community.
