Documentation

Definition

The processing type defines whether a function module is called in the foreground or background. The default setting is background processing.

Use

The system mainly uses background processing for mass synchronization. The advantage of this is that the function module is called in parallel processes, which means that the data is processed faster.

During foreground processing, the Synchronization Cockpit processes the data sequentially in the selected block size.
