Documentation

Definition

The threshold value is a control parameter for the frequency of COMMIT calls by the payment program.

Use

If you do not specify a threshold value, a COMMIT occurs after every payment document. This way updating of the documents, transaction figures, etc. is triggered.

A higher performance can, however, generally be achieved by a COMMIT call being carrried out for a bundle of documents.

If you do specify a threshold value, then a COMMIT is only run if the

number of payment documents
+ number of line items in the payment documents * 3
+ number of items to be cleared * 2

exceeds the specified threshold value.

Procedure

If you have performance problems with the payment run (not the proposal run), check to see whether you can speed up the payment run by entering or changing this threshold value.

Note that a bundling of database updates may possibly also make changes to your database system settings necessary (for example, larger rollback segments).

Examples

If a payment document contains 5 line items on average and pays 10 invoices, a weighting of 1 + 5*3 + 10*2 = 36 results for each document. This means that for a threshold value of 500 a COMMIT would be carried out for 14 payments in each case.
