Frequent Data Refresh Upgrade Considerations (Preview)

Existing users of the Frequent Data Refresh functionality can upgrade to the latest Frequent Data Refresh version, but should be aware of changes to the configuration and behavior after upgrade.

If you have been using Frequent Data Refresh before Platform 25.R3, you can continue using the original version or upgrade to the latest Frequent Data Refresh version. Before upgrading you should consider the following:

• Ensure you're running version 25.R2.P1.
• Understand the impact on custom processing using warehouse tables, as you'll need to use Delta Tables and Lambda Views instead of base warehouse tables. See Frequent Data Refresh Delta Tables and Lambda View Details (Preview).
• Understand the changes required to use Frequent Data Refresh in analytics for customizations and how to use the FDR Flag in subject areas. See Manage Frequently Refreshed Data in the Workbooks.
• Perform the upgrade steps. See Upgrade to Frequent Data Refresh V2 (Preview).
• Enable the Frequent Data Refresh V2 feature in the user interface.
• Configure the Frequent Data Refresh V2 settings via the Pipeline Settings page. See Configure Frequent Data Refresh V2 (Preview).

The following existing configurations for Frequent Data Refresh are migrated when upgrading to the latest Frequent Data Refresh version:

• Activated Functional Areas
• Tables from Activated Data Augmentations
• Recommended and Certified Tables
• Not-certified Tables (migrated as non-certified)

The following aren't migrated when upgrading to the latest Frequent Data Refresh version:

• Non-Activated Functional Areas
