Merge Request Job Size

You can use the Merge Request Job Size to specify the number of merges that each merge job can handle.

A greater number of merge requests per merge job may increase merge processing throughput when the Merge Mode is optimized or the Merge Scope is set to Customer data management specific areas with restrictions. The underlying profile option is ORA_ZCH_MERGE_REQUEST_BATCH_SIZE_LIMIT.

Consider these points before specifying the merge request job size:

  • The default value is 100 merge requests per merge job.

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

  • The Merge Request Job Size setting and the Maximum Concurrent Merge Jobs setting work together to let you have a fine-grained control of the merge system.

  • Setting no value (null) for the Merge Request Job Size setting distributes all pending merge requests to the available Merge Request Jobs. If the ratio of merge request to merge jobs is too high, system performance may be adversely affected.
