The hereby described performance improvement is handled by the upgraded transporter. The minimum required version of the FSM Cloud Connector add-on is 200.

 

The initial and full-sync process performance can be significantly improved. To achieve this, enable parallel upload flow of the SAP FSM Transporter component by increasing the number of allowed upload batches.

The transporter component is responsible for connecting SAP FSM with ERP connectors such as the FSM Cloud Connector. The Transporter has the following functionalities:

  • Download new/changed/deleted objects from SAP FSM

  • Upload of ERP new/changed/deleted objects to SAP FSM

  • Upload of logs

  • Upload of system information to SAP FSM

  • Download of metadata from SAP FSM

  • Support for "request objects" - objects that are not persisted in the SAP system, but calculated and then uploaded back to SAP FSM (e.g. prices for a Sales Order)

How to enable the parallel mode for initial and full-sync

Ensure that the SAP FSM company setting ‘TransporterSettings.MaxParallelUploadBatches’ has a correct value set.

  • Valid Values:

    • 0 - 5 (5 recommended for parallel batches)

  • Default Value:

    • 0 - the upload is stopped (on hold)

    • 1 - ‘original’ behaviour, single upload process

After the initial load, please revert to '1'! Otherwise, there will be a permanent few minutes delay in planning board update.

The setting is considered only for full sync triggered from FSM Admin or with the program /PACG/ECM_FULLSYNC_S - Run Fullsync. Other forms of mass data transfer are not supported.
