Balancing the data movement task execution load

To improve server performance, you can balance the execution load when more than one IBM® Cognos® software instance is running the Data movement service.

Some data movement tasks, such as JobStreams, are comprised of multiple processes. When such a task runs, the default is for all processes to run on a single instance of the Data movement service.

You can use the DMS.DistributeBuilds setting to distribute the DM Fact Build and Dimension Build JobStream nodes over several instances of the Data movement service. For more information, refer to your Data Manager documentation.

Procedure

  1. Follow the steps in the section Configuring advanced settings for specific services.
  2. For the Data MovementService, in the Parameter column, type DMS.DistributeBuilds.
  3. In the Value column, type TRUE to enable data movement load balancing.
  4. Click OK.
