The pipeline parameters that apply at the functional area levels are initial extraction date and time to schedule the incremental job to run..

• Initial Extract Date: Initial extract date is used when you extract data for a full load. Transactional data created after the initial extract date processes and loads to the warehouse. It reduces the initial data load volume. After extracting the data for a functional area, avoid changing the initial extract date. If you need to change the initial extract data, then after changing the date, reset the data warehouse and reactivate the functional areas. See Reset the Data Warehouse.
• Data Refresh Schedule: Specify the frequency and when you want the incremental data load to happen. While specifying the timezone, the recommendation is to use city names to handle the daylight savings. For example, instead of selecting timezone such as EST or PST, select Europe/Bucharest or America/Los_Angeles. In this case, the data refresh process calculates the value mentioned in the Time field based on the local time irrespective of daylight savings.
