Reduce the Time Required for Copying Data Between Measures

Parallelization enables collapsed planning cycle times by dividing the work for some automation processes and running them simultaneously. In this update, enhancements using this technique have been implemented so that you can reduce the time required to copy data between measures for your demand plans while using the Redwood page named Copy Data Between Measures, the classic UI page named Load Measures from Other Plans, or the scheduled process named Orchestrate Load Measures Processes.

Certain processes continue to run in a single-threaded manner. For instance, the tasks for copying data from sales and operations plans to demand plans and copying configure-to-order (CTO) data are still run as single-threaded processes.

Steps to enable and configure

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips and considerations

• Ensure that both the source and target plans have been run without errors before initiating the data copy.

Plans with errors will not be available for selection.

• When you’re copying data within the same plan, the source and target measures can’t be the same. The target measure must be stored and editable and can’t be calculated.
• If the source measure is a shared measure, it’s recommended that the target measure also be a shared measure.
• Copying from a calculated measure to a stored measure can improve performance. Choose calculated measures whose values don’t change frequently, such as those using collected, historical data.
• When using the REST resource named Load Measures Jobs to copy measure data, ensure that concurrent calls don’t copy the same rows of data. The filter tables must not cover the same members; otherwise, a deadlock error may occur.
