Press the Configure button which will display a popup shown in the picture.
Define mass execution types that will be performed during the extraction process execution. Use the provided toolbar to specify the configuration. Following operations are available:
Add data split -Adds new data split to advanced mass execution configuration.
Remove data split - Removes selected data split from advanced mass execution configuration together with parameters already defined for the selected data split.
Define parameters - Allows you to define and change parameters for the selected data split.
When data split types are added to the mass execution configuration, you need to define parameters for each split you wish to include. You can do so by selecting the data split type and pressing the Define parameters button from the toolbar. You can find more information about defining parameters for particular split types in the section Configuring advanced data split types.
Once all parameters have been defined, you need to confirm the parameter selection by pressing the Confirm button. In case of pressing the button Cancel, all changes you made will be discarded.
We recommend you save this configuration as a standard SAP variant so you will be able to access the definitions later without the need to configure them again.

As you can see, there are two data split types defined within the configuration. The first one splits the data into portions based on the actual number of records in the source object and the second one splits the data based on the time characteristic. To learn more about split types, see the chapter Mass Execution for basic types and section Configuring advanced data split types for advanced data split types.
Mass execution uses the so-called Composite data split in order to combine data portions that will be generated for each specified data split type. Assuming our example, when the extraction process is being executed, the Split data based on number of rows is executed first as it’s first in the definition. Let’s say the data will be divided into 10. Then the second split, Split data based on time field, will be executed in a way that it will divide data into let’s say 100 portions. Next, the Composite data split logic combines the ranges that define a particular data portion. As a result, data will be split into 1000 (10*100). This combination will split each data portion defined by the first split into the number of portions defined by the second split by adding an additional filter.

The user needs to have proper authorization (SAP standard) in order to upload a file. Therefore we suggest setting up a separate folder on the application server that will be used for these files only.
During the execution, the user that executes the process also needs to have the authorizations authorization to read the file from the particular path on the application server.
