Enabling Parallel Execution

To enhance Business Planning and Consolidation in terms of scalability and performance, you can enable parallel execution to leverage system resources such as CPU, memory, and so on.

Procedure

  1. Go to the SAP NetWeaver backend using transaction SPRO.
  2. Set the following parameters:
    Parameter Name Description
    ENABLE_PARALLEL_EXECUTION Enables parallel execution mode.
    PARALLEL_SERVER_GROUP The name of the server group where the dialog sessions will run.
    MAX_SESSION_COUNT The maximum number of dialog sessions that parallel execution can use. Default: 12
    BUFFER_ROW_SIZE The amount of data in a package. Default: 40000
    BUFFER_MAX_ROW_SIZE The maximum amount of data in a package. Default: 90000
    REFRESH_STATUS_INTERVAL The amount of time in seconds between session synchronization. Default: 10
    BUFFER_MAX_PART_COUNT The amount of partitions at most one input buffer instance can handle. Default: 1000
    BUFFER_WAIT_TIME_TO_EXIT The amount of time in seconds an input buffer should wait if there is no data. Default: 5
    MONITOR_WAIT_TIME_TO_EXIT The amount of time in seconds the main session should wait before exiting if it cannot start an instance. Default: 10
  3. Note
    You have the option of enabling parallel execution for Data Manager to obtain better performance when processing large amounts of data. The transaction data related process chains benefit from this framework to varying degrees. Among them, the process chain that loads data from the InfoProvider sees a significant benefit.
    Optional - Apply the following line into the Data Manager dynamic script by performing the following steps:
    1. Choose Start of the navigation pathAO client Next navigation step Data Manager Next navigation step Organize Next navigation step Organize Package ListEnd of the navigation path.
    2. Select a package.
    3. Choose Start of the navigation pathModify Package Next navigation step Modify Script Next navigation step AdvancedEnd of the navigation path.
    4. Apply the line PARALLEL_EXECUTION(ON).
