File Limit

[Former Member]

In one of our File to IDOC scenario, we are expecting close 11,100 records. Whether XI is capable of processing this load? Whats the maximum limit XI handle?

What are all the disadvantages of processig such a huge file?

It all depends on the how many bytes does each record comprise of...

You can check sap notes for processing huge files.

some times you can increase the java heap size..

you can split the file if you feel it is required

Hi,

You would want to create that many idocs in the R/3 system also I guess, right?

If so, then the load would be quite a lot.

What you could do is, poll for the file, and in the adapter, you could split the file and send 500 records each at a time.

This would reduce the load considerably.

Thanks Smitha.

You said " in the adapter, you could split the file and send 500 records each at a time."

How could I achieve splitting the file?

Hi,

You can achieve this by specifying the value in the "RecordSetsPer Message" parameter in the sender file adapter content conversion.
