first package size is bigger then others

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using a data source based on a function module to extract the data from R/3 to BW.

The issue is that the data pulls the data correctly and everything is fine.

But its the first data package which is always half the size of the all the data loads.

So suppose if the total number of records in one of the deltas is 800000 then the first data package will be of the size 400000 and the rest packages will be fine and of the equal and small size and defined in the system setting.

I tried changing the settings in infopackage but it has no effect on this first data package and issue remains.

We are using the same code as used by standard SAP function module code and we give the parameter MAXSIZE when opening the cursor at the desired table.

If any can point me out on how to reduce the size of first data package??

Thanks for the help

Hi,

it sounds like you have some special logic in the extractor and add some more records to the return table in case you are in datapackage 1.

Dear Siggi,

You are write we are pulling lot of data during the datapackid=0

I just wnated to know if we can do something so that data is distributed to the other data packages equally.

Thanks for your answer
