Hi everyone,
I did a test in our ERP6 system and created IDoc files for a few invoices. The result is that the creation of a XML Idoc is 22x slower than the creation of a flatfile Idoc. The creation of one large IDoc file with 1000 invoices took ~15 seconds as flatfile and ~5:30 minutes as XML. So the choice between flatfile or XML is really a performance question for me. Is that normal? I expected a difference but not that much.
Can I speed up the XML creation anyhow? XML is better to process and I really want to use it, but I can not with this bad performance...
Thank you!
Regards
Andreas

Yes, it is normal. For every byte of data in xml file, it needs to create multiple bytes of structures according to XML format.
But, i am wondering, why u need to go for xml, when there is no PI installed.
Because, end output file is always in flatfile format.
