Documentation
Use
If you set this indicator, SAP APO processes several incoming queues in parallel for different work processes. In this case, the system uses a different queue name for each data block that is sent using qRFC. The queue name contains the number of the data block.
Parallelized processing can provide a significant improvement in performance. The block size (that is, the maximum number of filter objects that are processed per block) is specified using transaction CFC3, as before.
Parallelized transfer is currently only supported for the following object types:
- Material masters
- Production process models
- Sales orders
- Stocks of all types
- Planned orders and production orders
- Purchase orders and purchase requisitions
- Sources of supply (contracts, purchasing info records, scheduling agreements)
- Batches
- Inspection lots
- Networks
- Maintenance task lists
- Production data structures
If this indicator is not set, SAP APO processes the incoming queues in serial. In this case, the system only uses one queue name for the qRFC.
Dependencies
Note that a liveCache lock can be caused in SAP APO if two integration models are activated in parallel for different object types and they both affect the same material-plant combination or resource. This also applies to object types that have subobjects. Particularly critical object types are:
- Planed orders and manufacturing orders with the subobjects 'operations' and 'components'
- Subcontracting purchase orders and subcontracting purchase requisitions
- Stock transport orders and stock transport requisitions
If a liveCache lock occurs, the qRFC must be processed again, which can cancel out any potential improvement in performance or lead to a decrease in performance. In this case, you may find it necessary only to parallelize the selection in the ERP system and leave the processing in SAP APO serial.
