Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Informatica Bulk Mode behavior
One thing of note that I have encountered with Direct Load Inserts is that the Indexes on the table will require twice the space. Say, you have indexes of size 2 Gb, then after the direct insert, the exisiting index is merged onto a "temporary" segment along with the new index keys. So, check if you are running out of space coz of the indexes.

Please respond to
oracle-l
Multithread is a way Informatica can parallelism the load into the =
target using many concurrent sessions.
Since it's direct load, each session will try to allocate its own =
extents to load into.
I would check if they have a very high number of threads.
But also since you said the job failed and the table was loaded with = some rows (200K), this indicates that they have low setting for the = commit interval otherwise the table will be empty.
Commit interval should be very high 1 million or higher.

Waleed,
The tablespace is locally-managed, 128MB extents. I'll have to ask
about the multithread, can you
tell me the ramifications of it?
Thanks.

I use it. It's using direct load OCI.
Never had your problem.
What is the extent size (initial/next ) for the table? Are they using =
=3D
=3D3D
multithread in the mapping?

Subject: Informatica Bulk Mode behavior
List,
Is anyone familiar with how Informatica's bulk mode works? =3D3D20
We have a situation where I created a 4GB tablespace for a new and
simple=3D3D20 truncate/load operation from Informatica, around 7 million
rows estimated=3D3D20 to take up 1.5GB. =3D3D20 =3D3D20 Using bulk =
mode, =3D
which
appears to be a direct load (in the SQL cache, the=3D3D20 INSERT =
statement
has a hint that I've never seen before: SYS_DL_CURSOR which=3D3D20 I =
=3D
assume
stands for Direct Load), they run out of space in the tablespace
after=3D3D20 about 200K rows have been inserted.
If I then manually rebuild the table, the 200K rows gets compressed back down=3D3D20 to one extent.
So there's a lot of either empty or preallocated space. Thinking
somehow=3D3D20
the high-water mark was the culprit, I manually truncated the table
before=3D3D20 they reran their job. =3D3D20
Still the same problem. =3D3D20
If the job runs in 'normal' mode, which is row-by-row processing, it runs fine,=3D3D20 although of course, performance is quite poor.
Any ideas/experience as to how this bulk mode operates?
Thanks.
