Process Chain taking long time at the Load Data process

Hi,

* sorry wrongly post to this place ... seems I have no authorization to post in the BW place..

We have problem to complete full cycle of the process chain in the exact time.

Normally, it will complete within 4-5 minutes. But since past 2 months, it took almost 6 hours to complete whole processes.

After checking each process, we found that the longer time was in the Load Data process.

I have checked the RSA3 in my source system (ECC) and the extraction is quite fast as normal.

I also checked all jobs with prefix 'BI*' via sm37 in ECC. Seems the duration is only afew seconds.

So should be no problem on the extraction.

But when I check the BW process monitor for the Load Data process and study on the Details tab, then I realize the longer time was at the 'Data request received' line which under Extraction (message). It gave 6 hours gap between Requests and Extraction (first bullet). I have no idea on how to debug/fix/tune this data transfer process. My basis guy also got problem to understand the issue since he is not familliar with the BW basis things..

When I compare with last month log, the longer time still same at Load Data process.

But, it happened at the 'Info IDoc 4: Application document posted' line under Transfer (IDocs and TRFC).

So, basically both problems happened beyond my knowledge. Something todo on the basis thing, I guess...

Please help me to tune/fix the problem. Feel free to ask for further info.. Thanks

Sorry on the term used, blame for my lack of BW knowledge..

after afew checkings seems the slow part was coming from the ECC. There might be afew background job run that day which gave effect to the RFC connection. Fyi, the extraction in ECC was quite fast but the problem was in RFC/IDoc session. Nvm, let wait for next month loading and check the result. For the time being and as workaround til we find the bettero solution, what I did is to re-schedule the load time so that it is not conflict with other ECC job.

maybe i'am wrong.. but my wild guess is maybe there is other process in ECC, disturb this process.

i'm heard my friend talking about this before, as we face similiar problem.

As the solution we move the process at night time. Hope it will help u a bit.
