Definition

The optimal package size is used in the processing mode Parallel extraction and processing to optimally combine multiple source packages from the same source request into a data package of the DTP request.

Use

During the preparation phase, multiple source packages of a DTP request are compiled and assigned to a data package of a DTP request. The following prerequisites apply:

  • The source packages belong to the same source request.
  • The system continues to compile the source packages in a DTP package until the total of all the package sizes (number of data records) exceeds the optimal package size.

If the optimal package size is not defined (null) or if all the source packages contain more data records than the number specified in the optimal package size, then one source package is processed per DTP request package.

Use this parameter if you are dealing with a source with requests that contain a lot of small data packages. This enables you to speed up request processing by grouping multiple source data packages.

Dependencies

If the transformation increases the number of data records and the DTP does not contain any filter conditions, the current DTP request package size overwrites the optimal package size specified here.

If the DTP contains filter conditions, the current DTP request package size overwrites the optimal package size specified. If you are able to estimate how many data records the filter will let through, you can increase the package size accordingly by using the relevant value.

Example: The DTP contains filter conditions. You know from experience that 8% of the source records match the filter conditions. You want to reach a DTP request package size of 1000. To reach a value close to this, enter a value of 1.000 / 8% = 12500 for the optimal package size.
