Definition

The different procedures you can use for archiving objects are defined in the Customizing settings for the package formation procedures. For profile generation before parallel processing, for the archiving object PAYMITEM, for example, there are two procedures:

  • COUNT

    The system determines the number of packages using the package size, based on the total volume of data records. The system forms the packages on the basis of the internal contract ID. If there were 1000 packages, the system would process the data from up to 4000 account contracts per work package. If the number of payment items to be processed within a work package exceeds the package size, the system subdivides the work package into smaller work packages.

    This avoids the creation of work packages with long runtimes that can arise if you use the package formation variant "Dynamically During Parallel Processing".

  • SEQUENTIAL

    Package formation is based on the archiving object data. A package containing 10 000 items for parallel processing would form 18 000 more or less equally sized work packages.
