Automatic Transition to Replace Mode for Planning Data Loaders

Automatic Transition to Replace Mode for Planning Data Loaders

With this release, we begin to automatically transition all tenants from erase and append configurations for planning data loaders to replace mode.
Preview Date: 2025-06-13. Production Date: 2025-06-13.

Business Benefits

Unlike erase and append configurations, which deletes all data before it uploads new data, replace mode:
  • Updates values that changed.
  • Adds new data.
  • Removes data not present in your import.
Replace mode enables you to:
  • Improve import performance by increasing the speed and efficiency of data updates using streamlined processing.
  • Reduce audit logs by generating minimal audit logs, leading to a cleaner and more efficient system.
  • Use targeted data handling to ensure data accuracy and consistency through intelligent updates that only affect changed, new, or removed data, and leaving unchanged data untouched.

Changes

If you currently use simple erase and append configurations on the
Erase Settings
 tab on planning data loaders for standard and cube sheets, we automatically:
  • Select
    Enable Replace Mode
     on the
    Data Source Settings
     tab.
  • Remove the
    Erase Settings
     tab.
  • Disable the
    Erase manually
     option.
Once we confirm that no active planning data loaders in your tenant use erase and append configurations, we remove the
Erase Settings
 tab from your tenant.

What Happens If I do Nothing?

If the erase mode scope of your loader is the same as the append mode scope, we automatically update the loader to use replace mode. Loaders with any other configuration won't be affected.
