dynamically increase R3load processes during import phase

[Former Member]

I am currently importing a system export and sapinst didn't give me the option to choose the allocation of R3load jobs to do the import with. Currently, there are only 3 R3load processes running at this time. I have 8CPU on this system and it's not even phasing it with this load. I'd like to be able to dynamically (as in i don't want to restart sapinst) switch this to now use 8 processes (maybe even as high as 12). How would I go about doing this without impacting the jobs that are currently running?

thanks for any help you folks can provide.

you can dynamically increase the number of R3load processes without halting the import. Go to the installation directory ,edit the file import_monitor_cmd.properties, change the value of the parameter jobNum to the desired value. You will see within 30 secs , the number of R3load processes getting increased . Make sure you check the cpu load and I/O load when making such changes.

For such copies I always select "start migration monitor manually".

If then something goes wrong or I want to change the configuration, I can just stop the import, change the config and restart. With the proper options (-merge_bck) migmon makes sure, things are as supposed.

Hello,

There is no standard way to do it.

If you have just started the Export and if you feel it is really going to take a long time, then better to 'cancel' the current execution of Export and Restart with new Export.

Thanks
