Documentation

Definition

Set of parameters for run processes in parallel (parallel processing).

Use

• Aim of parallel processing:

  Splitting data quantities that are to be processed into numerous, smaller, independent packets that can be processed simulataneously.

• Influence of parallel processing:

  Increased data throughput, lower total runtime and improved use of system resources.

• Parameters control, for example, the following core factors:
• Packet size
• Number of objects being processed simultaneously
• Type of packet processing (application server)

Notes

Processing the individual packets is subjected to the restrictions that are valid for online processing (maximum runtime between two dialog step) even if the relevant program was triggered in the background.
