What happens when you deactivate a functional area in FDI?

• A. It deletes all historical data.
• B. It triggers a full data load.
• C. It disables user access.
• D. It stops the data pipeline from pulling new data during incremental jobs.

Answer: (D)

Deactivating a functional area in FDI stops the data-processing tasks tied to that area. The key effect is that incremental jobs will no longer pull in new data for that area, effectively pausing data ingestion while keeping the existing historical data intact. It doesn’t delete historical data, and it doesn’t automatically trigger a full data load. If you need to refresh data later, you’d have to reactivate the area or explicitly initiate a full load. This change targets the data pipeline behavior, not user access or security settings.
