Answer 1

Hi,
Another option would be using the InfoPackage settings. Create 2 infoPackages.
1st one for first 10 days
====================
In the "Schedue" tab, define the Scheduling options to Hourly and save it. Now, you will see "Periodic Processing" section with two options,
1. Do Not Cancel Job
2. Cancel Job After X Runs
For 2, provide 8.
2nd for From 11th day
==================
Create another InfoPackage for Daily load.
In process Chain, you may use the previous "Decision Between Multiple Alternatives" process type (in the command formula, write a simple formula as below:
RIGHT( 2, Current Date ) <= 10
Then include 2 ABAP Program for each option (using "BAPI_IPAK_START" with the InfoPackage name) in decision options. (use the InfoPackages as variants).
This will solve your requirement,
"for first 10 days, we need to extract data 8 time a day
and for remaining days in months, we need to extract data 1 time a day."
Now, further update using DTP, for remaining days in months (i.e. 1 time a day) you can directly include the DTP in the chain. However, for the 1st 10 days you have to dig more.
Good Luck!
