IDoc

hi all!

how much data of record one single idoc can hold in terms of memory or in size.

thanks.

Hi Pantham,

It depends on the idoc type which you are using.

It depends on the segments & data .

But a single segment will holds 1000 char length data..i.e SDATA in EDID4

Hi Parthasarathi

Single Idoc can hold 10,000 k Byte by default. You can change the memory size in source system by maintaining control parameters for data transfer.

<b>Procedure for Maintaining Control Parameters for Data Transfer</b>

1.Source System

Enter the logical systems of your source client and assign a control parameter chosen by you to it.

You can find information about source clients in the source system under Tools --> Administration --> Management --> Client Management --> Client Maintenance.

2.Maximum size of the data package

When transferring data , the individual data records are sent in packages of variable size. You can use this parameter to control how large such a data package typically is.

If no entry is maintained, the data with a standard setting of 10,000 k Byte per data package is transferred. However, the required memory depends on not only the data package size setting, but also the width of the transfer structure, the required memory of the affected extractor, and, for large data packages, the number of data records in the package.

3. Maximum no. of rows in a data package

With large data packages, the required memory depends a good deal on the number of data records that are transferred with this package. You can use this parameter to control the maximum number of data records the data package is to contain.

By default, the system transfers a maximum of 100,000 records per data package.

The maximum main memory demand per data package is approximately 2 X ’Max. Rows’ X 1000 bytes.

4.Frequency

By specifying a frequency, you determine the number of data Idocs after which an Info IDoc is to be sent. In other words, how many data IDocs are described by a single Info-IDoc.

By default, the frequency has been set to 1. This means that, in this case, an Info IDoc follows after each data IDoc. In general, you should choose a frequency between 5 and 10. If not, do not choose one above 20.

The larger the package size of a data IDoc, the smaller you should set the frequency. As a result, you should get information about the data load status during the data upload in relatively short spaces of time.

You can see in the BW Monitor from each info IDoc whether the load process was successful or not. The traffic light is green if this is the case for all data Idocs described by an InfoIDoc. Info Idocs contain information about whether or not the data Idocs were correctly uploaded.

5. Maximum number of parallel processes for the data transfer

Enter a value greater than 0. The maximum no. of parallel processes has been set to 2 by default. The optimal choice of the parameter depends on the configuration of the application server you are using for the data transfer.

6.Target system of a batch job

Enter the name of the application server using which the extraction job is to be processed.

To get the name of the application server, choose Tools --> Administration --> Monitor --> System Monitoring

--> Server. The Server column displays the name of the application server.
