Limits
For more information about the SAP Ariba Analytical Reporting API limits, see the SAP documentation . The following rate limits affect your Cloud Data Fusion pipelines.
Time span limits
The number of transactions posted within a certain time period must not exceed the limit.
The time span limit between From Date
and To Date
is
one year. Exceeding the limit results in a validation error. For example,
entering the following filter results in a validation error because the time
span is greater than one year: TimeCreated >= 2021-12-01T00:00:00Z and
TimeCreated <= 2022-03-29T00:00:00Z
.
API rate limits
Job submission limits: 1 per second, 2 per minute, 8 per hour, 40 per day.
When the limits are exceeded during a job, the pipeline fails.
The data extraction limit for one day is two million records. For example: 40 API calls per day * 50,000 records extracted per API call = 2,000,000 (2 million) records per day.
Rate limits are restored regularly at 00:00 AM in the timezone of the SAP Ariba data center.
Volume limits
- The limit is 50,000 records per call. For more information, see the SAP documentation about limits .
