Configuring BAPI/RFC Transformation Properties

Configuring BAPI/RFC Transformation Properties

Configure transformation properties on the Properties tab.
The following table describes the BAPI/RFC transformation properties:
Option
Description
Runtime Location
Leave this property blank.
Tracing Level
Amount of detail displayed in the session log for this transformation. Default is Normal.
Is Partitionable
Indicates if you can create multiple partitions in a pipeline that uses this transformation:
  • No. The transformation cannot be partitioned. The transformation and other transformations in the same pipeline are limited to one partition.
  • Locally. The transformation can be partitioned, but the PowerCenter Integration Service must run all partitions in the pipeline on the same node. Choose Local when different partitions of the BAPI/RFC transformation must share objects in memory.
  • Across Grid. The transformation can be partitioned, and the PowerCenter Integration Service can distribute each partition to different nodes.
Default is No.
Inputs Must Block
Indicates if the procedure associated with the transformation must be able to block incoming data. Default is disabled.
Update Strategy Transformation
Indicates if this transformation defines the update strategy for output rows. Default is disabled.
Transformation Scope
Indicates how the PowerCenter Integration Service applies the transformation logic to incoming data:
  • Row
  • Transaction
  • All Input
Set the transformation scope to Transaction when you configure the BAPI session for real time. Otherwise, set the transformation scope to All Input. Default is All Input.
Generate Transaction
Indicates if this transformation can generate transactions. When enabled, the transformation generates transactions for all output groups.
Default is disabled.
Requires Single Thread Per Partition
Indicates if the PowerCenter Integration Service processes each partition at the procedure with one thread. When you enable this option, the procedure code can use thread-specific operations. Default is enabled if you import the BAPI/RFC transformation in the Transformation Developer. If you use another method to the create the transformation, default is disabled.
Output is Deterministic
Indicates whether the transformation generates consistent output data between session runs. You must enable this property to perform recovery on sessions that use this transformation.
If you configure a transformation as repeatable and deterministic, it is your responsibility to ensure that the data is repeatable and deterministic. If you try to recover a session with transformations that do not produce the same data between the session and the recovery, the recovery process can result in corrupted data.
