Documentation

Definition

Specifies whether the distance matrix transferred to the optimizer is symmetrical.

Use

If you select this indicator, the optimizer assumes that all distances in the distance matrix are symmetrical. This means that the outbound and return journey are the same length. In this case, you only have to enter one distance in the matrix.
Using this indicator reduces the memory required on the application server since the size of the internal table for the distance matrix can be minimized. Symmetrical entries are automatically added to the matrix within the optimizer.

Dependencies

To use this setting, you must have optimizer version 7.0 SP03 with a build date of May 19, 2009 or later.
You can determine the version number of the optimizer used from transaction /MRSS/RCCF_VERSION.

Example

The distance from A to B is 10 km. If the symmetry setting is active, the distance from B to A is also 10 km.
If you do not select this indicator, you have to enter both distances in the matrix. If you select the indicator, you only have to enter the distance from A to B. The optimizer then adds the return journey from B to A automatically to the matrix.
