You can make a number of settings that affect the execution of remodeling rules. The settings always apply exactly for the remodeling rule that they are created for. The most important setting you make here is which tool the remodeling rule is executed with: with a variant optimized for SAP HANA, with the data transfer process (DTP) or using the ABAP/4 database utility (SE14).
