Hello Expert,
As probably many of you, our IBP model requires that some master data be maintained natively in IBP.
During testing activities, I noticed that the Excel Mass Maintenance tool was limited to a certain number of records.
I configured MAX_BATCH_SIZE global parameter to 900 000, but as soon as I try to load more than approximatively 290 000 entries, I receive an IBP error message : "An error has occured on the server". Here is the detailed log:
2016-02-19 12:42:38,717|ERROR|UILayer|?.?|xxxxxxxx|||||VSTA_Main|From SOP - Backend / API Error: An error has occured on the server#
2016-02-19 12:42:38,758|ERROR|UILayer|?.?|xxxxxxxx|||||VSTA_Main|From SOP - Backend Error: An error has occured on the server#
Since we are planning to maintain Customer Sourcing Ratio with this tool, this is kind of a issue. We have around 4 millions possible sourcing combiniations. And even when using attributes filter, we far exceed the limit. We would need to be able to display at least 650 000 records.
I understand that Excel is limited to +- 1 000 000 lines, but is there any additional hard coded limitation in IBP engine? I am aware of the following warning from SAP, but we don't aim to replace standard integration... just using it as a complementary tool for our MD maintenance.
Any advise/experience sharing is welcome.
Thanks and regards.
