File Input Run Mass Upload Parallel Processing

[rockportcity]

Hello SAP,

I use File Input Run to mass upload data for Stock Transfer Order. Within the Excel template, I'm grouping the line items based on their LineItemGroupID.

This allows me to insert or append these line items into the header-level data. Then, I send the request to the SOAP web service. Within the solution, I've created two custom views—'Record View' and 'Error Log'—to categorize records created successfully and those returning error messages from the web service.

The solution works well, allowing me to separate created records and those with errors in their respective custom views. However, I encounter an issue when attempting to upload and schedule a File Input Run while another user's process is still ongoing in the File Input Run. During this time, my records fail to appear in the custom views and in the outbound logistics control's customer demand view. Therefore, I need to wait for the other user's File Input Run process to finish before I'm able to proceed with my upload.

The business requirement is to allow users to upload their file without waiting for other process to finish, allowing multi-user approach. I came across an article in SAP Community Forum that says "The file input process also supports parallel processing of input files, end users don’t need to worry about waiting for files to process before adding more to the folder". But during the testing phase—system doesn't seem to support parallel processing. Does SAP handle File Input Run parallel processing, or do I have to include additional functionality in the code for this purpose?

Steps to recreate the issue:

1. Export the XML file in the Excel template.
2. Navigate to 'Application and User Management' and select 'File Input'.
3. Click on 'Unprocessed Files', choose 'Stock Transfer Order Integration Input' from the dialog box, and upload the XML file.
4. In the 'Active Runs', select the file input run related to the Stock Transfer Order and schedule it to 'Start Immediately'.
5. While the file input run is processing, upload another XML file and schedule it accordingly.

The data from the first uploaded XML file will be processed and created, whereas the data from the second upload won't be created through this process.

Are the files you are uploading, all records for the same tables? (Stock Transfer Order Mass Upload)?

Hello Martin,

I use two business objects—one for storing successfully created STOs and another for records that contain errors.
