Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager Administration Guide > Importing Data > Importing Legacy Data > Importing Large DatabasesBefore importing a large database, such as a legacy database, you should thoroughly test your import processes. Once the test batches are loaded correctly and any data discrepancies that may affect other batches are resolved, you may want to consider importing large batches for the remaining data. Before doing so, first make sure that the Siebel database is capable of storing the volume of data, and that your resources are adequate to support the processing. Memory Resources Needed for EIMTo achieve and maintain high performance, the database memory area needs to be large enough to hold most of the frequently accessed data in the cache. Because a very large EIM batch may flush all the data from the cache and cause performance degradation, limit EIM batch sizes so the most frequently accessed data can remain in memory. Database Resources Needed for EIMEIM uses database server space for the EIM tables, target base tables, secondary tables, and work areas. To make sure that an import process runs smoothly to completion, you must anticipate and plan for these space requirements. Actual requirements vary based on the RDBMS you are using and the size of the database you are populating. Work with your Siebel representative and database administrator to develop a database blueprint that addresses the following resource requirements:
After working with small batches to make sure that your import processes run smoothly, you may want to initiate an unattended session in which EIM runs multiple import processes to load a large database. |
