Parallel Execution of Evaluation Programs

Use

If you want to generate evaluations for a large number of personnel numbers (for example, print remuneration statements), you can use report RPCS0000 to create several background jobs. The system then processes the background jobs simultaneously using different application servers.

Note Note

You should not use report RPCS0000 to run simultaneous evaluations with only one result (for example, for an employee telephone directory). This is because you cannot combine the results of individual background jobs.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites must be met if you want to run an evaluation program using report RPCS0000:

  • A suitable variant must be defined in the evaluation program.

  • The evaluation program must use the logical database PNP.

Scope of Functions

You specify the number of personnel numbers to be evaluated in the background job or how many background jobs should be created. Report RPCS0000 selects the personnel numbers to be evaluated from the database and groups them together in background jobs. You can release each background job separately or you can release them together.

Note Note

Report RPCS0000 does not use the criteria for the logical database PNP when sorting. Sort sequences defined in the program variants may, therefore, not be performed correctly.

End of the note.

You can enter a short text for each evaluation run. Each background job contains this short title and a sequential number. The short text can be helpful if you want to display the background jobs in the general job overview.

The program displays a log after the evaluation has been completed.
