can we use parallel processing to CIF PDS from R3 to SCM

Hello SCM gurus,

can we use parallel processing to CIF ( initial data transfer ) of PDS from R3 to SCM in CFM2 txn . Currently we have upgraded our SCM system to 5.1. Not sure if SAP has included parallel processing capability for CIF ing PDS from R3 to SCM in SCM 5.1.

Thanks in advance for your assistance

Thanks and regards

Rajesh

You can not use parallel processing for pds as of 5.0,

have no idea of 5.1.

If you set this indicator, SAP APO processes several incoming queues in parallel for different work processes. In this case, the system uses a different queue name for each data block that is sent using qRFC. The queue name contains the number of the data block.

Parallelized processing can provide a significant improvement in performance. The block size (that is, the maximum number of filter objects that are processed per block) is specified using transaction CFC3, as before.

Parallelized transfer is currently only supported for the following object types:

Material masters

Production process models

Sales orders

Stocks of all types

Planned orders and production orders

Purchase orders and purchase requisitions

Sources of supply (contracts, purchasing info records, scheduling agreements)

Batches

Inspection lots

Networks

Maintenance task lists

If this indicator is not set, SAP APO processes the incoming queues in serial. In this case, the system only uses one queue name for the qRFC.

Dependencies

Note that a liveCache lock can be caused in SAP APO if two integration models are activated in parallel for different object types and they both affect the same material-plant combination or resource. This also applies to object types that have subobjects. Particularly critical object types are:

Planed orders and manufacturing orders with the subobjects 'operations' and 'components'

Subcontracting purchase orders and subcontracting purchase requisitions

Stock transport orders and stock transport requisitions

If a liveCache lock occurs, the qRFC must be processed again, which can cancel out any potential improvement in performance or lead to a decrease in performance. In this case, you may find it necessary only to parallelize the selection in the ERP system and leave the processing in SAP APO serial.

Hi,

Though SAP has parallel processing capability its better not to use for transfering PDS. Its all depends your block size. and PDS is combination of different data s. So, there are more chances of getting no. of faulty Qs. Actually you dont need parallel processing for ciffing PDS, when you send those PDS saparately (plant by plant). Its efficient and not much time consuming.

Thanks,
