SAP BPC Embedded - Concurrent users

[Former Member]

Dear all

Can you please let me know of your experience in S4 optimized BPC while we have,

1. Concurrent users trying to plan for the same data combination.

2. Concurrent users working on different data combinations.

Do we get any error in case of Pt.1 and how is the performance in case of Pt.2.

Request you to share your experience.

Thanks

Deepika

Hi Deepika,

in the first case you get a lock conflict, in the second usually not. BPC Embedded set locks based on data regions defined by the filter used in queries or planning functions. You can find more information about this topic here:

The lock mechanism is usually not relevant for performance, exceptions are many concurrent users using many functions (e.g. in planning sequences) with complex filters. Note 928044 contains more information.
