Definition

Maximum number of filter objects that can be processed in one block in the APO Core Interface (CIF).

Use

The size of the filter object blocks influences performance. Small filter object blocks can be processed faster by the system, although this advantage is diminished if a very large number of filter objects are caused by a high number of smaller blocks. Large filter object blocks can lead to problems because of the long processing time for each block. The block size that should be used in each individual case is largely dependent upon the current data situation.

Dependencies

After a filter object block has been processed in CIF, the system selects the data objects that possess the same attributes as the filter objects. The data objects are also selected on a block basis. You can also set the size of the data object blocks for the selection. For more information, see the field help for the SelectBlGr column.

This setting also has an effect on the settings that you make for the parallelization of the initial data transfer in transaction CFM3. For more information, see the field help for the Parallelize Processing in APO field in transaction CFM3.
