Documentation
Definition
The selection strategy controls the number of parallel RFC calls to sender systems during data selection.
Use
If you choose selection strategy Minimize number of RFC calls the data selection program will select all relevant documents from the sender systems using one RFC call per sender system. If you set the flag Selection Strategy Is Default Only you can specify for each company whether the data of that company should be selected in the collective RFC call or in a separate one.
Dependencies
Example
There are 5 companies with data in system PR1. The data volume for three of these companies is relatively low. The other two companies have a lot of intercompany postings on PR1. In order to optimize the runtime of the data selection you specify Minimize number of RFC calls as the selection strategy and set the flag Selection Strategy Is Default Only. In the company specific settings you set the flag Separate Selection Process for the two companies with the high data volume.
The data selection program will start three separate RFC calls to the sender system. The first one will select the data for the three companies with low data volume. The other two calls will select the data for the bigger companies.
If you choose Selection Strategy Minimize data transfer volume per RFC call the data selection program will create a separate call to the sender system for each company. This will usually result in a higher overall runtime of the data selection process and also require more resources on the sender system since each RFC call creates certain overhead activities and the data is selected from the database tables in multiple small SELECT statements instead of one collective select which can usually be optimized by the database.
