Documentation

Definition

You use this indicator to specify that process messages are sorted on the database when they are selected (as opposed to sorting them in the program).

If this indicator has not been set, the process messages are sorted in the program after the database selection. This can only cause sequence errors if the database selection is restricted by the parameter Maximum number of messages.

Advantages:

  • The sequence in time of process messages is guaranteed even if a large number of data is selected.

Disadvantages:

  • Since the data is sorted on the database, this is critical for the performance of the entire system.
  • You will only benefit from this if the number of data is higher than the maximum number defined for the messages to be selected.
  • You will only benefit from this if it is really necessary to observe the send sequence of the process messages.

We only recommend setting this indicator in normal processing if you expect a higher number of process messages to be sent than the maximum number defined for the messages to be selected (see parameter Maximum number of messages). Only set this indicator in exceptional cases.
