Input data size limitation in PI. Please advice!

Hi Experts,

We have External System <---> PI< ---> ECC interface. This is synchronous.

External system calls XI web service using SOAP adapter. PI in turn calls ECC custom function module using ABAP proxy.

ECC function module returns any data errors back as response message. We are not using BPM or complex message mapping in PI.

The problem is that If the input data size is more than 5MB then we are facing timeout issues?

In this regard I would like to know what the is input data size limitation in PI? What is the optimum data size acceptable in PI?

Are there any guidelines available for the same?

Please help.

Thanks

Gopal

Hi,

We are processing message sizes of 80MB regularly with our WS customers. 5MB should be easily workable.

Like experts suggested, you would have to increase the timeout duration, check with your Basis team.

Optimum size is 5 MB. There is no theoretical limit on the message size. It could be upto 1 GB as well. Few MB more than 5 MB shouldn't be a real problem during processing. You may try to increase the timeout of XI adapter by changing the parameter xiadapter.inbound.timeout.default

5MB shold not be an issue.....i would suggest that you increase the timeout related to your SOAP adapter and the XI adapter.

As the data increases the time required to process it also increases....hence the connection is to be kept open for that period of time.....this is done by the timeout parameter of the adapters.
