Netweaver 7.0 Support Stack 13 : Get All New Data in Source Request by Request

In SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 13, the following enhancements are available in the data transfer process (DTP) in BW which is quite helpful in loading large datasets :

In DTP maintenance, you can specify that a DTP request is to get only one source request. By doing this, you can prevent DTP requests from becoming too large. Until now, when this option was used, only the first source request was retrieved. To get all source requests one after the other, the DTP had to be executed manually a number of times. You can now specify in DTP maintenance that the DTP is to get all new data from the source, one request after another. This makes it easier to process mass data using process chains and helps to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). The function also has a positive effect on the process monitor display in the process chain log view: When a DTP retrieves all new data request by request, rather than displaying just one request, the system displays a list of DTP requests.
