Separating Conversion Files into Smaller Files

The command that this topic describes separates an export file that the conversion utility creates into smaller, more manageable files according to object type. For example, the Siebel Runtime Repository might include up to 130,000 controls. To improve performance, you can simultaneously import multiple consolidation files of the same object type or of different object types. An average desktop PC can typically run only 10 simultaneous conversion import processes.

To separate conversion files into smaller files

• Add the following parameter to the command you used in Step 5 of Converting Symbolic Strings:

  "SplitFile: Filename=Control.txt, Lines=2000"

  Filename is the name of the file to export.

  Lines is the approximate number of lines in each file. The conversion utility does not separate a set of symbolic strings, so the number of lines might not equal the value you set in this parameter.
