      System Usage Levels Description

      Low

      The SAP system has low usage and there are sufficient available resources. Use this setting if you are comfortable with the Query using a high level of resources and returning a large data set. You can set the Query time-out to a high number and there can be an unlimited number of returned Query results.

      If you submit a Query marked with a high system usage level when the administrator has specified that only low system usage levels are allowed, the query file will not run.

      Medium

      The SAP system has medium system usage level and requires moderate resources. Use this setting if you are comfortable with the Query using a moderate amount of resources and returning a large data set. You can set the Query time-out to a moderate number and there can be a high number of returned Query results.

      High

      The SAP system has a high usage level and resources are constrained. Use this setting if you want to limit Query to a minimal amount of resources and to returning small data sets. The Query time-out and results can be set to a low number.
