UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP_2 or UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP

Question

Hello Guys,
Do anyone have used the following programs.
UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP_2
UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP
UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP:
I tried this one.I partitioned by fiscal year.It fails in the background.
TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED SYSTEM_IMODE_TOO_LARGE
I tried to partition by costcenter again failed
TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED SYSTEM_IMODE_TOO_LARGE
Now I used the 2 nd program:
UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE_STEP_2
I partition by fiscalyear,companycode and also tried version and fiscal year.
I amtrying tocopy version BBB to X90.
Due to the huge volume the job fails online and also in the background.
So as SAp suggested I tried to use the above 2 programs.
I think the last option is using an customized abap program to copy the version.
Does anyone encountered the above issue.
I am getting the following message:BPS0 Log:
Planning function ZBPSUS13(HR-Copy - Domestic), parameter group ZBPSUS13(HR-Copy-Domestic) was carried out with no errors
Find Partitioning Characteristic

data records were read, 0 of them were changed, 0 generated
Find Partitioning Characteristic
Message no. UPF250
Diagnosis
Characteristics that are incorporated in the planning package and the fields of the planning function to be changed.
No Partitioning Characteristic Available
Message no. UPF254
Diagnosis
No partitioning characteristic can be determined. There can be several reasons:
1. No incorporated characteristics exist in the planning package. If you want to execute the planning function in several steps, define the incorporated characteristics in the planning packet.
2. The incorporated characteristics in the planning packet are characteristics of the planning function to be changed.   Define other incorporated characteristics in the planning package. For planning functions from type formula, often more characteristics are selected to be changed as necessary.   Examine your formulas accordingly.
3. Time characteristics are involved for which no selection conditions exist. Define selection conditions.
System response
The planning function is executed in one step
If anyone of you encountered the above issue,please confirm.
Thanks

Senthil,
Typically, when we execute a planning sequence, all the calculations are first done in a buffer and then the data from the buffer is committed to the database.
Therefore, we should always pay caution to both the volume of data being called in the planning level, as well as the volume of data that needs to be changed/created in the planning function. Many a time, the data volume exceeds the space in the buffer, leading to these timeouts or failures.
One approach when processing high volume of data is to create multiple planning packages for the level, breaking up the data into small volumes. You can then tie them up in a planning sequence and addtionally you can also add a planning sequence which would save data to the database, say after every two sequences of calculations. This approach would not only help you process the data much faster but would also overcome buffer sizing issues.
Hope this would help.
