Using Transaction Logging with EIM or Assignment Manager

If you use EIM or Assignment Manager, and if the Enable Transaction Logging check box contains a check mark, then Siebel Remote logs modifications in the S_DOCK_TXN_LOG table, and then synchronizes them to the remote clients. If a large amount of data exists, then the Transaction Processor and Transaction Router might require a significant amount of time to process the modifications for each remote client. It might take so long that it is faster to reextract the remote client, and then apply the extract remotely.

It is recommended that you turn off transaction logging while EIM runs to avoid a rapid expansion of the S_DOCK_TXN_LOG table. After EIM finishes loading data, you must turn on transaction logging and reextract the remote clients. This configuration also prevents the risk of overloading the Transaction Processor and the Transaction Router.

A larger batch typically improves performance for EIM but can also cause problems for Siebel Remote. If you use EIM and Siebel Remote, then it is recommended that you limit batch sizes to 1000 or fewer records.
