If you use Process Manager to build your Mart, pay special attention to the settings described below.
Avoid the Sequential Processing Setting. You can use Process Manager to manage a variety of Eagle processes. For some processes, each engine should launch in sequence. For others, parallel processing is preferable.
Parallel processing is required for Data Mart to build data with the greatest possible efficiency. To use parallel processing if you use Process Manager to build your Mart, when you configure the Process Manager Workflows, deselect the Process Effective Date Change by Batch checkbox in the Workflow Definition tab on the Workflows Setup wizard. Only deselect this option when you meet the needs of the Funds Per Model Manager and Funds per Mart conditions. This allows the system to "flood the cluster" and take full advantage of parallel processing.Ensure Parallel Processing. You must complete the following configuration step for parallel processing for Data Mart whether or not you use Process Manager with the Mart. In Eagle Navigator, type PACE Engines and select the PACE Engines (System Management Center) link. Set a Limit Ratio value of 0.25 or other value less than 1.0 as directed by Eagle Technical Services for three engine types: Data Mart Manager Engine, Model Manager Engine and OLAP reports. The Diagnostic checks that you run in Data Mart check that these Limit Ratios are below 1.0.
Find the Best Process Manager Run Group Batch Size.
WhenWhen you set up a Process Manager workflow, you see the Run Groups tab in the Wizard. On the Run Groups tab, you define events within the workflow. The Batch Size setting on the Run Groups tab indicates the number of entities that are batched together for purposes of your Mart build. The default setting is 1. This indicates that the workflow will start as soon as any eligible entity is found. This setting may be inefficient because the minimal overhead of starting a Data Mart build is potentially repeated for every entity built in the Mart. A setting in the range of 25-50 is preferable. You can try various settings to determine the one that gives you the best results.
