One month ago, one of SAP staff told me that I could modify global_dop to 1 by editing C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP Business Objects\Data Services\conf\DSConfig.txt and restart bods service .
Now I found it doesn't work .
I have a job that could works only when degree of parallelism is set to 1 . ( Don't focus on this job , this is defect for BODS , but SAP only give me this workaround ).
After I modified DSConfig.txt , this job still couldn't work . [Before this, I had modified the degree of parallelism of dataflow to "default" ]
I have to change another way to modify Global_dop :
"BODS designer" -> "Tool" -> "options" -> "job server" -> "General"
Section: AL_Engine
Key: Global_DOP
Value: 1
If i click "refresh" , it will show DOP in "value" .
I click "OK", it save this change .
Then , my job could work successfully.
Our product is integrated with bods .
We don't want to tell our customers to modify this handy .
So could someone tell me another way to modify Global_DOP ?
e.g. modify some .txt ?
Configuration:
boe 4.0sp6
