getting incremental records from source systems to target can be done 
by using incremental aggregation transformation

One foolproof method is to maintain a field called 'Last Extraction Date' and then impose a condition in the code saying 'current_extraction_date > last_extraction_date'.

Here is an Oracle specific technique- 
Its called Change Data Capture

hope this helps

Using mapping parameters and variable or type1 we can easily define from where parameter will  start and how variable will change as deltas will get from OLTP systems

Above solution will not be helpful in case of late arrivel fact and late arrivel dimentional records. Generall in any data source we will have transaction date ( when the transaction happened) and load date ( when the data loaded in source ) for numerical measure data similarly  Ener date ( when the details are provided by the cutomer ) load date for dimentional data . we have to use both the date stamps to retrive the data from the data sources.

We can use control table update and ipf files for capturing incremental data or delta data from a source. Control table will maintain the details like from which timestamp (previous) to which timestamp (current) we have taken the data.
If the session is taking data everyday (daily run) then the delta will be of one day. Previous timestamp will be of yesterday's date (P1) and current timestamp will be the time (C1)of run of the job. So in today’s run we will get one day data.
Next day when job runs C1 will become P2 and today’s run time will become C2, so we will not miss any records incremented i the source systems. This will go on.
Incase on weekly runs the delta will be of one week.
Let me know if you need any further information.

Usually CDC(Change Data Capture) is used for delta records. Incremental records is only possible if the source system contains Created data or Modified Date. So the condition looks like this

Createddate>=Last Transformation date or Modified date>= Last Transformation Date.

In ETL, in the schema, if one table has date field and another table didnt, my suggestion is not to go for CDC, because one table will take in Truncate and load method and another table contains CDC data alone. So it lead to mess up..

You can use scd type1 component if you use talend ETL tool

Once loaded the src data into ODS we can fetch the records based on the flag such as Insert or Update

There are three way to do increment load in ETL as per my knowledge:
1: Delta loading using parameter file.
2: Delta loading using control table.
3: Delta loading using max variable where max variable is last updated date.

Hi Anand ,
I am exactly looking for this info. could you please elaborate on this design implementation in datastage in all the three methods of delta load you mentiond.
Thansks,
