This input file is read into a Siebel property set using Siebel EAI. This property set is then broken down into smaller work units, each typically containing about a hundred records. Each work unit is then passed as input to the method ProcessWorkUnit(). This method delegates processing to the Siebel Workflow described in LOY Bulk Member Admin Process Workflow. The work units are processed asynchronously, making use of available CPU capacity, which allows the user to continue using Siebel Loyalty during processing. The work units are processed in parallel, improving performance. Enabling Bulk Loyalty Membership AdministrationTo enable bulk Loyalty membership administration, you must activate the server component group named Systemaux, which contains the component File System Manager, used for bulk membership administration.

Controlling the Size of Work UnitsThe number of records in each work unit is controlled by the business service property named Work Unit Size which is under the LOY Member Admin Service. Using Oracle's Siebel Tools, you can set the value of this user property to any quantity up to 100. Use a larger work unit size if you typically process large numbers of records. For example, if you typically process 10,000 records, then a work unit size of 10 is too low, because you need 1,000 child workflow instances to process all the records, which would slow performance. As a general rule, use a work unit size of 100 if the number of records processed is high, more than about 10,000, but lower the work unit size to 50 if the number of records processed is about 1,000. Configuring a Log Directory for Work Unit ProcessingYou must configure a directory to store the log files generated during work unit processing. The following procedure describes this task. To configure a log directory for work unit processing
