Hello everybody,

Somebody know how calculate the data transfer amount between SAP and BW. Would be fantastic to know the transfer speed and other similar data. Is there any transaction where you can see this information?

thanks for your help.

A quick, although less accurate, way is to add up your field lengths to get your total record size and then multiply it by the number of records.

So, 5 fields, with 10 char length = 50 chars * 8 bytes /char = 400bytes.

8 bytes / char may be higher on unicode systems.

with 500 records ... you get 200,000 bytes = /1024 = 195kb.

This is just a rough estimate and it is pretty quick to figure out. Not all fields will be completely filled, so this is the maximum size for this recordset.

Hi Manolo,

The Data Transfer/Packet size is very much dependent on the application you are loading the data from in the source system.

Please refer to the notes 409641 and 417307 for further information on this.

Hi,

within your infopackage you can see or override the settings of limits. (Within menu Scheduler-> Settings for sending data).

The overall amount can be roughly calculated by having a look at the extraction structure with TC: SE11--> witdth of structure multiplied with the number of records.
