Do I Need To Configure DSS To Replicate SCD Type 1 Data?

Question

Do I need to apply any changes or configure my environment to replicate Slowly Changing Dimensions (SCD) Type 1 data?

Environment

DSS 6

Answer

You don't need to change your DSS environment to replicate SCD Type 1 data.

In SCD type 1 data, new data overwrites changes, and no history of the data is maintained. When you create channels using the default actions, such as Capture and Integrate, DSS integrates changes in the same way.
