Max data pull from Virtual Cube - is this a setting?

Question

We have a user doing a query against a Remote cube in our BW system, and they're hitting a "maximum data" limit of data from this remote cube.  Is this a setting for this cube or globals, and can you modify it?
Thanks,

Hi,
MAXSIZE = Maximum size of an individual data packet in KB.
The individual records are sent in packages of varying sizes in the data transfer to the Business In-formation Warehouse. Using these parameters you determine the maximum size of such a package and therefore how much of the main memory may be used for the creation of the data package. SAP recommends a data package size between 10 and 50 MB.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/directforumsearch?threadid=&q=cube+size&objid=c4&daterange=all&numresults=15
MAXLINES = Upper-limit for the number of records per data packet
The default setting is 'Max. lines' = 100000
The maximum main memory space requirement per data packet is around
memory requirement = 2 * 'Max. lines' * 1000 Byte,
meaning 200 MByte with the default setting
3 THE FORMULA FOR CALCULATING NUMBER OF RECORDS
The formula for calculating the number of records in a Data Packet is:
packet size = MAXSIZE * 1000 / transfer structure size (ABAP Length)
but not more than MAXLINES.
eg. if MAXLINES < than the result of the formula, then MAXLINES size is transferred into BW.
The size of the Data Packet is the lowest of MAXSIZE * 1000 / transfer structure size (ABAP Length) or MAXLINES
Goto RSCUSTV6 tcode and set it.
Go to your Infopackage, from tool bar, scheduler, data packet settings, here you can specify your data packet size
Go to R/3, Transaction SBIW --> General settings --> Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
Here you can set the maximum number. But the same can be reduced in BW...
Info package>Scheduler>data’s default data transfer-->here you can give the size, but can reduce the size given in R/3 side, you can’t increase here...
In RSCUSTV6 you can set the package size...press F1 on it to have more info and take a look to OSS Notes 409641 'Examples of packet size dependency on ROIDOCPRMS' and 417307 'Extractor Package Size Collective Note'...
Also Check SAP Note 919694.
This applies irrelevant of source system meaning applicable for all the DS:
Go To SBIW-> General Settings -> Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer -> Enter the entries in table
If you want to change at DS level then:
IS->IP -> Scheduler Menu -> Data’s. Default Data Transfer and change the values.
Before changing the values keep in mind the SAP recommended params.
Hope this helps u..
