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.
