Optimization Vs Deletion Flag

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

• Can duration of optimization of SNP/CTM reduce, by setting deletion flag to unwanted materials in Product master
• Or it will reduce by permanently deleting unwanted masters

Please provide your suggestions

Hi,

Optimization consists of three run times.

Runtime1 - Read Masters(Master & Transaction)

Runtime2 - Optimization

Runtime3 - Creating Output

Usually Runtime 1 will take less time, again this depends on the master data selection.

Make sure your data is not keep changing during the Runtime1 which can lead to more read time.

You can try below options to reduce the total runtime of optimizer.

1) Reduce the data selection by splitting the process

2) Increasing the parallel processing in optimizer

3) ZERO changes to master data during Runtime 1 of optimizer

Hi, I did not get your point, because as per my understanding, optimizer will only process transactional data, and no touch of any master data.

Hi,

I should have re-phrased my question as "duration of process chain"

As optimization is preceded by Version Copy, Initialization of Version, Consistency Check etc in the Process Chain

Hi, as per something I learned today, it seems only setting "deletion flag" cannot avoid the master data being selection by APO application, since the "deletion flag" only means it will be deleted in the future.
