Define Incremental Aggregation?..

Answer / abhinaw prakash

When using incremental aggregation, you apply captured
changes in the source to aggregate calculations in a
session. If the source changes incrementally and you can
capture changes, you can configure the session to process
those changes. This allows the Integration Service to update
the target incrementally, rather than forcing it to process
the entire source and recalculate the same data each time
you run the session.

For example, you might have a session using a source that
receives new data every day. You can capture those
incremental changes because you have added a filter
condition to the mapping that removes pre-existing data from
the flow of data. You then enable incremental aggregation.

When the session runs with incremental aggregation enabled
for the first time on March 1, you use the entire source.
This allows the Integration Service to read and store the
necessary aggregate data. On March 2, when you run the
session again, you filter out all the records except those
time-stamped March 2. The Integration Service then processes
the new data and updates the target accordingly.
