Maintaining Data Transfer Control Parameters for DataSources 

Use

In the BI Scheduler you have the option of determining control parameters for data transfer for individual DataSources. This function is available with Scheduler à Default DataSource Settings for Data Transfer. You can update transaction data in the PSA in this way, for example in larger data packages. Smaller packets guarantee faster processing if you want to update master data in the dialog.

You can define the following parameters for DataSources from SAP source systems:

Control Parameter	Update Mode
Size of data package	For all possible update modes
Number of parallel processes for the data transfer	For all possible update modes
Frequency with which the status IDocs are sent	For all possible update modes
Maximum number of data packages per request  If there is an initial value, the system performs the data transfer according to the settings in the source system. A value 0 overwrites the setting in the source system. In this case there is no limit.	For delta and repeat requests

You can define the following parameters for file DataSources:

Control Parameter	Update Mode
Size of data package	For all possible update modes
Frequency with which the info IDocs are sent	For all possible update modes

Integration

DataSources from SAP Source Systems

The settings you made in the Scheduler override the settings made in extractor-customizing for SAP source systems for a particular DataSource and a particular update method.

In general you maintain the control parameters for data transfer from an SAP source system in the Customizing of the extractors. You go to Customizing of the extractors from the context menu of the corresponding source system in the source system tree of the Data Warehousing Workbench. Choose Business Information Warehouse à General Settings à Maintaining Control Parameters for Data Transfer to display or change the settings for the data transfer on source system level.

File DataSources

Use those settings that you made in the Scheduler to control the setting that you made under Business Intelligence à Links To Other Systems àMaintain Control Parameters For Data Transfer for a particular DataSource.
