Definition

During initial indexing of an InfoCube, the two fact tables (E and F table) are divided into n disjunct parts once a certain size is reached. n is the value of the parameter for the batch variant. The split mode determines how these blocks are formed:

Value = I: Intervals are formed using the block characteristic (request ID for F tables, finest time characteristic for E tables).

Value = R: The values of the block characteristic are distributed to the n pools in a round robin procedure and then used as an IN list during selection.

Value other than R or I: The default is used. The default value is parameter 'SPLITTYPE' . This can be maintained using program RSDDTREX_ADMIN_MAINTAIN.

As these methods form blocks of equal size, which of the methods is best depends on the data distribution.
