Performance optimization while loading IDOCs

[Former Member]

Our Job is loading data to create IDOCs to load data to SAP ECC.

It took 500 seconds to create 6000 IDOCs. Now, we want to do a full load which will create around 5 million IDOCs.

We have kept Batch Size of 500 in IDOC target options and have checked the ‘Do not create TID’ option

So, suggestions needed on how to optimize its performance and what settings we need to follow in order to do that.

*We are using SAP BODS 4.1

The only other setting that may impact performance of IDOC creation is Batch wait timeout. Set this to 0 if you've set Batch Size. That's all you can do at DS-side as far as IDOC posting is concerned, I am afraid.

But what do the 500 secs refer to? How much additional logic is there in your data flow? There are plenty of options to increase the performance of your DS data flow. Check out for some valuable tips and tricks.

Does that time include IDOC processing time at ECC side, as well? Liaise with your BASIS staff. They can tune performance from their side, as well.
