Definition

Data transfer type for data selection.

Use

Select the data transfer type for the current company.

  • Asynchronous via Direct RFC Connection
    Select this transfer type if you want the data to be selected from the sender system through a direct RFC connection.
  • Synchronous via XI
    Select this transfer type if you want the data to be selected from the sender system through XI.
  • Asynchronous Triggered From Reconciliation System
    Select this transfer type if you want the data selection to be triggered when the data selection program is started in the reconcilation system.
  • Other
    Select this transfer type if the data is provided via upload or pushed into the reconciliation system without a trigger from the data selection program.

    Example

    You created a program in your sender system to transfer the data into the reconciliation system because the system administrators of the sender system want to control when the data is sent. The program uses function module FB_ICRC_ADD_DATA_RFC to add the data to the reconciliation process.

Dependencies

The data transfer type Asynchronous via Direct RFC Connection is the default transfer type for data selection. However, it requires direct RFC connections to the individual sender systems. It enables a maximum of parallelization within the data selection process.
This data transfer type gives you the option of scheduling data selections and automatic assignments as two steps of the same job. This strategy makes sense in an organization with a central approach where data selection and automatic assignment are run centrally and the users only perform the manual reconciliation themselves.

Data transfer type Synchronous via XI was developed to enable data selection using XI while keeping the control with the data selection program. This data tranfer type uses transactional RFCs because asynchronous RFCs are not possible through XI. In order to allow for some parallelization the data selection program will start several tasks within the reconciliation system each of which then performs a transactional RFC to the sender system through XI. All of the data is collected and processed further by the data selection program. Therefore all information regarding the data transfer is available in the log of the data selection program.
This data transfer type also gives you the option of scheduling data selections and automatic assignments as two steps of the same job.

Data transfer type Asynchronous Triggered From Reconciliation System enables a maximum of parallelization, whether you use direct RFC connections or XI. However, you do not know when the data transfer is actually finished. This data transfer type is intended to be used if you can determine the appropriate start time for automatic assignment yourself and schedule a separate job accordingly, or if the users start automatic assignment themselves.
