Infotype updation- alternate solution for FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.

Question

Hi Expert ,
Right now i am using FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to insert data to infotype 19.
Problem i am facing is data to be inserted is very large and this takes lot of time.
Is there any other FM which updates infotype in mass i mean using internal table?  Since in this FM cant pass internal table so i have to call this FM for every PERNR.
Thanks & Regards ,

Hi Jigar
As suggested by Rahul,  Use the FM: HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE. This will improve the performance of your code to a great extend. I would personally, use HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA or HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to update the infotype 0019. However, both are buffering the data and doing some EXPORT to memory. The result of this is that after a few hundred calls to HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION or HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA, the buffer gets big enough to impact the performance of the function module. After thousand of updates with HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION or HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA, each call will take many seconds and your ABAP program will be unusable. Because you run it for high volumes only in the SAP production system, thatu2019s when youu2019ll really see the impact.
The solution is simple. Call this function module to clear the buffer.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE'.
Hope this helps.
