There is something funky about the AR API that is used by Pentaho Spoon. If I recall correctly, the $OPERATION$ value at the time of create as well as update is CREATE. Something funky like that. I do not recall specifics, but you could try a small experiment to ascertain this for yourself.
Create a filter on Remedy that writes to a temp field the $OPERATION$ value. You will notice that irrespective of the type of operation, the $OPERATION$ value is always CREATE. So in effect it appears like Pentaho really does not know the difference. I didn't have the opportunity to look deeper into this at the time I was working on a Spoon job recently, but it appeared to me like it processes all records irrespective during a execution.. Thankfully since Pentaho does a massive update using a data pipe that can be sized appropriately according to the expected size of the feeds, performance is not really that much of a concern if you have your JVMs configured correctly. One way to process only the delta from the AR side would be to have Pentaho work on a staging form instead of the load form, and then have similar workflow like the load form to check for duplicates on both the People and the Load form and process only those records that do not get tagged as a duplicate on either the load nor the people form.

My scenario is like in a day if i process 100 records it successfully creates people record. But the next day it should not consider the same old records unless if it is not updated at LDAP side. How i can achieve this?
