Parallel Processing - Initial Setup

Former Member

Parallel Processing has been set up on our production system in conjunction with our overnight jobs. We have 3 app. servers with central instance.

We need to run these same jobs on our QA system - is parallel processing set up to run across multiple servers or can it be set up on one server? How is it set up?

thanks.

Hi Marie,

If parallel RFC is being used by the ABAP in your overnight job then the level of parallelism is determined by the RFC server group that is being used when the RFC call is made. The RFC server group is maintained in transaction RZ12 and defines the servers that the RFC call will distribute the parallel processes across. If there happens to be only one server in your QA system, then this would be the only server considered for parallel processing and processes would be distributed across the dialog work processes of that one server.

Discovered that in addition to the RFC Server Group being set up, I needed to activate Parallel Processing on the variant of the specific program that I needed to speed up.

Thanks Eddy.

"Parallel processing enables the SAP System to process separate data packets on different servers simultaneously."

So parallel processing must have more than one server to run?

thanks again.
