Definition

Use

The partitioning key groups postprocessing orders into packages that are processed in parallel.

The value range for the partitioning key is hexadecimal from 0000 (0) to FFFF (65536). The system divides the interval [0000 : FFFF] equidistantly and disjointly and assigns a random, evenly-distributed partioning key to each postprocessing order during parallel processing. Thereby, each interval receives the same number of postprocessing orders from a statistical point of view. This makes optimal use of the ressources that are available for parallel processing.
