Documentation

Definition

Use

If you use parallel processing, the system creates work packages that the specified number of jobs then process in the background. As soon as a job has successfully processed a package, it requests and processes another package until all packages have been processsed.

Dependencies

The package size has an influence on performance and the utilization of the background processes by the scheduled jobs.

Example

100,000 business partners are to be processed. Four jobs are to be scheduled. To achieve even utilization of the background processes, you want to process an average of 50 packages in each job. This means that in this example, the package size is 500 business partners.

Note

• The package size should not be smaller than a minimum size. For example, it makes sense to process at least 100 business partners per package.
• Make sure that there are as many background processes as jobs.
