Hi,

We have a requirement of large data insert/update (like products, barcodes, sales prices , promotions) every day from the external systems into D365 FO.

As our staging to target process in DIXF is record by record process , these data operations will take huge time everyday. We are thinking to use mutlithreading concept availble in Framework parameters -> Entity Settings -> Configure entity execution parameters

Here my question is on number of threads (import task count) , What will be maximum number of threads we can run ? I went through many blogs but didn't get this answer. Please help me on this.

Thanks & Regards,

Praveen

Hi Praveen,

There have been a number of tectalks from MS on this.

Please have a look at the resources/tectalk button further above in the action bar and search for the ones that refer to environment configuration, performance, system setup, etc.

There are a couple of talks available that explain these and other settings.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Praveen,

I think there are no right answers about the maximum number of tasks. You need to play with these parameters and found the best combination for each entity that suits your environment. When you set up these parameters you should consider your batch processing capacity if you set up to use 100 tasks, but you have only 2 batch servers with limitation to 4 thread per batch server, you just make an unnecessary queue. Setting too high values for a number of tasks will only make import slower and there is a risk of flooding batch processing by a number of tasks created by imports.

HI Praveen,

I have read this, and it mentions "Most environments can only support up to 12 tasks simultaneously".

But I am a bit puzzled, as your picture already shows 16, maybe there is no maximum limit.
But for performance, do not consume excessive system resources, try to reduce it.

Hi Praveen,

I second on the comments from Sergei and Ludwig. If the import run via the batch framework, you can monitor the execution how many tasks are created and how many will run in parallel. Also note that depending on other batch tasks which needs to run, you probably won't have all threads "allocated" to the import.

Not all data entities can be setup within these execution parameters. When the data entity is not supported, mainly because of a certain sequence, you will get an error when you do the setup. In that case, you can consider creating an own entity without the sequence dependency.
