Material Requirements Planning: Parallel Processing
Description
By using the parallel processing techniques, you can significantly improve
the runtime of the total planning run.
For this purpose, you can either choose various sessions on one server or you
can also use several servers.
The parallel processing procedure runs according to packages using the
logic of the low-level codes:
A package (size to be defined) is distributed over the individual
servers/tasks. Once the server/session has processed one package, it then
starts processing the next one of the same size.
One the low-level code has been completely processed, the finished tasks must
wait until the last task in the package has finished processing to avoid
inconsistencies. Then the next low-level code is processed package by
package.
The parallel processing technique is switched on from the initial screen of the total planning run.
Change system parameters in customizing
You set the parallel processing parameters in Customizing. Here, you define the appropriate destinations (application server) with the number of sessions that can be used.
Please read the corresponding chapter in the Implementation Guide.
