Understanding RTI Switch

High volume batch updates (for search definitions enabled for RTI) can cause a sudden spike in the number of entries to process in the RTI staging table added by the database trigger. This can cause high database table fragmentation and potentially decrease overall system performance.

If you have large-volume batch updates, the RTI process should be temporarily turned off and when the batch is complete, perform catch-up updates to indexed data via incremental indexing before resuming RTI.

RTI switch enables the application to turn OFF RTI before initializing high-volume batch programs. When indicated, RTI resumes by the incremental indexing process for a specific search definition.

Note:

Oracle's PeopleSoft recommends that you do not change the Configure Batch switch without a complete understanding of how it works, because batch processes must be specifically coded to reference the RTI Switch.
