Maximum Concurrent Merge Jobs

You can use the Maximum Concurrent Merge Jobs setting to control the number of merge jobs that can be processed at any given time. If you don't set the maximum limit, all merge jobs are submitted for concurrent processing.

A greater number of concurrent merge jobs may clear a duplicate resolution request queue more quickly but may impact other processes and functions that use customer records. The underlying profile option is ORA_ZCH_MERGE_MAX_REQUEST_LIMIT.

Before specifying the limit for Maximum Concurrent Merge Jobs, you must consider these points:

  • The default value is 10 concurrent merge jobs.

  • Increasing the number of concurrent merge jobs can be helpful during high-volume data initialization scenarios when processing the duplicate resolution queue is a high priority.

  • The Maximum Concurrent Merge Jobs setting and the Merge Request Job Size setting work together to let you control the merge system better.
