About Scheduling Frequent Data Refreshes Using a New Refresh Mechanism (Preview)

Utilizing the redesigned frequent data refresh mechanism, you can schedule frequent data refreshes of the applicable modules (functional areas and custom data configurations) and warehouse tables to refresh the data during the day at a higher frequency in between incremental data refreshes.

The new frequent data refresh mechanism is called Frequent Data Refresh V2. During refresh, Frequent Data Refresh V2 doesn't update the base tables. Instead, it utilizes “Delta” tables to store the data that has changed and “Lambda” views for data that incorporates base data from incremental data refresh and the changes up to the point when the frequent data refresh happened. See Frequent Data Refresh Delta Tables and Lambda View Details (Preview).

Frequent Data Refresh V2 updates data in warehouse tables more efficiently, enabling potentially higher frequency data refreshes. The frequent data refresh process automatically adds the FDR Flag to the relevant subject areas. To include the frequently refreshed data in your reports, filter the data using the FDR Flag.

With Frequent Data Refresh V2, you can select applicable modules to refresh applicable functional areas and custom data configurations. For the selected modules, data is refreshed for all the required tables, and the Frequent Data Refresh flag is added in the relevant subject areas. You can also select specific tables, including data augmentation tables, to refresh. You may need to make changes to these tables if you want to use them in your customizations. See Manage Frequently Refreshed Data in the Workbooks.

Note:

After release Platform 25.R3.P5, the Enable Features page won't display options to enable or disable “Frequent Refresh” and “Frequent Refresh Tables” features. You can continue using the original version of the Frequent Data Refresh capability or upgrade to Frequent Data Refresh V2.
