Documentation

Definition

A unit, which determines how many resources are to be processed in one block by the delete program (between methods PICK_RESOURCES and CONFIRM_DELETION).

Use

The package size influences the runtime of a delete job. There is no such thing as an "optimal" package size; the smaller the resource, the larger should be the value for package size. Also, the overall duration of the delete phase depends on the number of delete jobs that were started in parallel. As a general rule one can say that with fewer data objects to be archived, a smaller package size would result in a more equal distribution of files between the delete jobs.
