Question about file size

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have a file to idoc scenario .

I have a file which generates many idocs (size atmost 5 mb)

I am aware sap recommends to limit the message the file size to atmost 5mb.

Do they mean file size of the payload ...because size increases in xi also .

I just want to process such a file quickly .

For that I am employing queue priortization at both sender and reciever .

and would idoc packaging help at the receiver .

Besides I am getting 'time limit exceeded in sm58' although I am seeing my idocs in idx5.

KIndly what parameters i should tweak in xi or that matter recieving crm system to take care of this problem.

Kindly help

Hi,

This does not sound like a message size problem.

For file size of 5MB going to an IDOC is very basic. No special tuning and queue prioritization should be needed.

Transmitting IDOC should be very fast. I've seen 100MB+ IDOC being sent to a backend system within seconds.

I assume everything worked fine until the message was being sent to the backend SAP system. The fact that SM58 indicated timeout points to some other problems, which may even be at the backend system or the network, and not XI.

Hi,

XI has no problem to handle 5mb files. But of course then you need a more powerful machine in order to handle large size messages.

I recommend you reading the performance tuning guide for XI/PI. It might help speed up your message processing.
