Hi

In Bw customizing in the source system, you can make general settings for transfer of data from SAP source system to BW.

The maintain control parameter for data transfer:

In SBIW

-> General settings

-> Maintain control parameter for data transfer.

1.Source system:

Enter logical name of your source system

2.Maximum size of your data package:

Individual data records are transferred to BW in data packages of a variable size. You can use these parameters to set average size for data package. If you do not maintain the data here by default it takes 10,000 k bytes per data package. The amount of memory required does not depend on the setting the controlling the size of the data package alone. It also depends on the width of the transfer structure, the memory requirement of the extractor involved and large data package it also depends on the no of records in data package.

3.Maximum no of rows in a data package:

With large data packages, the amount of memory requires depends largely on the no of data records that are being transferred in each particular data package. We use these parameters to set maximum no of rows in a package; by default it takes 100,000 records per data package. The maximum main memory requirement per data package

Is approximately 2max rows1000 bytes.

Hope it helps...

hello singh,

i had used this method in SBIW, when I load the data in BW, it always said that there are "error in the data selection" which the data loading will failed and return in red color. I am just wondering why is this so. If I didnt set anything in SBIW, it works fine and the data loading is working in BW.

Hi,

first answer from singh is a copy from here:

Helpful link "Maintain control parameter for data transfer":

Regarding your probelm "error in the data selection":

1. Check your selection criterias in InfoPackage

2. Test your extractor with RSA3 in source system

And take also a look if this threads solve your problem

hi andreas,

thanks for your informatino. I had tested out the extractor in rsa3 and everything works fine...is just that after i added in the selection in the SBIW (Maintain control parameter for data transfer) then only i got the error of the extraction from the source system, after i remove it, everything is normal and the extraction is working...
