Look up InfoObject's attributes in update rule

Question

Hello Gurus!!!
I have an update rule that looks up for an InfoObject's attributes to update some fields of an InfoCube. Is there another way to do this look up than load all InfoObject attributes into an internal table from the start routine? I tried to read the attribute's table directly from the routine but it takes very very long time.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi:
I think you made good progress with Viren's advice.
Your statement looks fine. Now, I think you should play with some settings.
1) Try reading a sebset without too many AND statements. I cannot tell you which ones are important.
Look at it this way, if you get 1 million by htis complex Select, try to get 1.5 mil by simplifying the statement since you don't have memory problems anymore.
If you are reading my Master Data table, why don't you read by KEY, Active Data and just one more FIELD (you pick the field which will give you least values).
E.g.
SELECT * FROM /bic/pzdocument
   INTO TABLE it_document
   FOR ALL ENTRIES IN DATA_PACKAGE
   WHERE
   /bic/zdocument = DATA_PACKAGE-ac_doc_no AND
   objvers = 'A' AND
   item_num = DATA_PACKAGE-item_num.
Another one is that there is a good chance your DATA_PACKAGE-ac_doc_no  is there Multiple times. Now your Select Statement will read the DB table Multiple Times. So, you can do this:
DATA_PACKAGE_1 like DATA_PACKAGE.
DATA_PACKAGE_1 [] =DATA_PACKAGE [].
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM DATA_PACKAGE_1
             COMPARING ac_doc_no.
Then, write your Code.
SELECT * FROM /bic/pzdocument
   INTO TABLE it_document
   FOR ALL ENTRIES IN DATA_PACKAGE_1
   WHERE
   /bic/zdocument = DATA_PACKAGE_1-ac_doc_no AND
   objvers = 'A' AND
   item_num = DATA_PACKAGE_1-item_num.
Its difficult to tell which one is more efficient. Your best bet is to spend soem time on these Codes and get the Statistics. Also, take an ABAPers help if available.
Good luck,
Forget: Its a good time now to play with your Laod Tansfer Settings (do it at the InfoPackage Level so that you don't change others' load)
Go to InfoPackage, Sechduler from Menu, Data Transfer Settings for Max Size, no. of data packets.
