Definition

You use this indicator to specify whether the data should be aggregated (totalled) in the database or not until later on in ABAP.

Having the data aggregated in the database reduces the data volume to be sent to the application server. Generally, it is quicker to aggregate the data while still in the database than it is to aggregate it in the application server.

So why have an indicator?

When the aggregate functions are used, the database requires temporary memory space for building the aggregated data. Depending on the database, the required memory space may be much greater than the basic data. Consequently, the program may have to terminate and produce a short dump with a database error (overloaded disks).

Default

  • Normal build (RKETRERU): Not activated
  • Expert mode (RKETRERV): Activated

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

  1. Leave the use of aggregate functions activated if possible.
  2. If the program terminates due to disk space problems, increase the memory space for temporary data.
  3. If it is not possible to increase the disk space, deactivate the indicator.
