Use

In this activity, you can specify the size of the subpackages of objects processed in parallel.

You can influence the overall performance of a parallel process by selecting a subpackage size that enables the data to be processed to be distributed more or less evenly. For example, you can group very frequently assigned materials together while grouping less frequently assigned materials together. As a general rule: The smaller the subpackages, the more evenly the processing effort is distributed across the jobs to be run. However, very small subpackages can negatively affect performance because parallel processing itself then needs to be managed (involving the distribution of work packages and database accesses, and so on).

In an unfavorable structure of account assignment objects, however, it is possible that some jobs are finished while one or more jobs continue processing, for a considerable amount of time, subpackages in which frequently used objects are processed, for example.

If this is the case, you need to reduce the partition size or, in the case of hierarchical processing, the reduction percentage (which might in some cases be restricted for the affected account assignment objects).

Requirements

Standard settings

With the default settings, the system generically determines the package sizes for parallel processing. However, you can also specify values.

Activities

Example

When reassigning materials and their dependent objects (such as assigned purchase items and invoice items generated from purchase items), you establish that several jobs are processed in parallel but that some have much longer runtimes than others.

To distribute the processing workload evenly across the jobs generated, you explicitly enter 1000 as the value for the partition size and 10 as the reduction percentage for the object type Material.

Check the distribution of processing workload and change the parameters again if necessary.
