Taking long time to load from the planning area to the cube since cvc big?

Question

Hi all,
We have a huge number of cvc for various countries, while we are planning to load the data from the planning area to the cube using those cvc it consuming 40 hours.
I happneed to check the cvc are more than 15,000 that is one reason. But i still need to improve the time taken to load the data from the planning area to the cube using the process chain.
I happened to split the process chain to load data respectively to the sales organisation but still the same!!
Can anyone help me nor recommend the sap process to improve the data loading from planning to cube in apo demand planning?
Thanks
Pooja

Hi Pooja,
15K is not huge at all. We have worked with 50k and still managed do the extract into cube in about an hours time.
Pls help me understand a few things, so that we can help you better.
1) Number of KF?
2) Number of Periods?
3) Key Figure Storage types - Is there any KF stored in Infocube rather than Time Series, this can be found in the Key Figure details in the Planning Area.
4) Pls explain your data flow like PA--> Datasource --> Communication Structure --> UPdate rules --> Cube???
5) Are you using Parallel extraction in your Datasource? This can be checked in Data Extraction tools from your Planning Area Screen.
Few general tips.
1) Parallelize your datasource.
2) Load into PSA and Infocube parallely.
3) Do not include KF stored in Infocube for your backup, use only KF stored in LC.
Thanks
