If you want to execute multiple variants at the same time, we recommend using the Datavard tool Task Handler (transactions /DVD/TH_EDIT and /DVD/TH_MONITOR). To execute the variants, proceed as follows:

Create a Task run ID

  1. Run the transaction /DVD/TH_EDIT.

  2. Specify the Process ID "GLUE_VAR_EXEC" for BEx Query Extraction or "GLUE_FEAT_VAR_EXEC" for Mass Execution feature, select Open existing process, and Execute (F8). 


    Click Create run (F8), fill in your new Task run ID, and Confirm.

Generate and execute the variant execution task

  1. Click Generate variant execution tasks.

  2. Specify the name of your extractor or find it with the help of F4 help and Execute (F8).

  3. Go back to the previous screen and check if the variant execution tasks were generated and if their status is set to green. If not, please check if the variants were generated and if they are active. 

  4. To execute variants double click on Variants execution, specify the desired number of parallel jobs, and confirm. 

  5. Double-click on the Monitor button to track the variants execution process or monitor it directly in the Extractor Request Browser, see more information under Manage the Executed Extraction of an Extractor.
