Quick Mode

If large amounts of data need to be available on offline stations, the time needed to create initial data stock download files for all stations may increase to more than a day.

To shorten the duration of outputting and inputting initial data stock download files, add the following setting to the global mm.ini file:
[Communication]
FastLoad=*
To create initial data stock download files for specific stations, specify the station numbers:
FastLoad=1000,1001,...

Using this entry shortens the time needed for outputting the communication files. Inputting these tuned files on the target stations also needs less time.

Note: The actually achievable gain of time depends on the environment and amount of data.

Please note the following restrictions:

  • No other process must be active while inputting the communication file on the target station.
  • Calculations are copied "as is": Info areas where calculations done by the business logic occur (e.g. all offer items for an offer) cannot be exported conditionally, i.e. the communication format must not contain output conditions on info areas that are children of FI, KP or OJ (BTB only) and in which calculations occur.
  • If a specially tuned file is input, the new quick input method is used only if the target database is empty (i.e. at least FI, KP and OJ (BTB only) must be empty) and if the + parameter is used (mmco.exe -u com -p <Password> -k i ,1 ,+).
