Informatica Basic Tuning: Some Tips To Enhance Performance

This document provides tips for improving performance in Informatica mappings and sessions. Some key recommendations include filtering and sorting source data, using indexes, caching lookups, limiting ports and rows, and optimizing expressions, filters, aggregators and other transformations. Session-level tuning tips include adjusting memory, commit intervals, and disabling unnecessary options. The overall goal is to minimize data, optimize transformations and queries, and tune session properties for best performance.

Informatica Basic Tuning

Some tips to enhance


performance

By: Aman Yusuf


Source Qualifier
 Filter records to remove unnecessary fields from getting
into the mapping
 Sorting the source data (Order By)
 Indexing the columns in the mapping by using pre and
post-session SQL
 Join data originating from the same source
Joiner
 Use Source Qualifier while joining sources from the
same database
 Designate Joiner as the master source with smaller
number of record sets
 Normal Joins are faster
Filter
 Use Filter as close to the Source Qualifier in the
mapping.
 Use an expression before Filter to evaluate the filter
condition and in Filter test for that condition as
TRUE/FALSE.
 Use Source Qualifier as Filter
 Use Router instead of multiple Filters
Expression
 Remove the Error(xxxx)default value from Expressions
 Use output ports instead of variable ports
 Use operators instead of functions
 IIF conditions are costly so reduce by using DECODE
 Datatype conversion - perform it in Source Qualifier
Remove unused ports
 Test Expressions slow down sessions
 Optimize IIF conditions
 Try using string functions in the Source Qualifier (e.g.
SUBSTR,LTRIM,RTRIM,etc.)
Lookup
 Indexing columns in Lookup order by
 Place conditions with an equality operator (=) first
 Cache small lookup tables
 Join tables in database to minimize the use of Lookups
in mappings
 Use a persistence lookup cache for static lookup tables
 Use shared cache for multiple Lookups in a mapping
 If possible use DECODE in expression instead of
Lookup
 Use Unconnected Lookups wherever possible
Lookup (contd)
 It takes less time to lookup integer type columns than
string type columns.
 Try to eliminate the use of non-cached Lookups
wherever necessary
 Performance can also be increased if default order by
statement is suppressed and an override order by with
fewer columns is entered
 Reduce the number of cached rows
 Avoid using too many Lookups in a single mapping
Aggregator
 Use sorted input to decrease the use of aggregator
cache
 Limit the connected input/output or output ports
 Use Filter before Aggregator
 Always use Number datatype or less width char datatype
in group by
 Avoid complex Aggregator expressions
 Minimize Aggregator Function call
 Use Incremental Aggregation
Rank
 Use a filter before Rank to reduce the number of rows
for input to the Rank Transformation
Sequence Generator
 Use reusable Sequence Generator in multiple mappings
Stored Procedure
 Reduce the row count
 Replace by expressions
 Use unconnected stored procedure
Update Strategy
 Use the option DD_INSERT / DD_UPDATE for Inserting
or updating Targets rather than using Update else insert
option in the session properties
Target
 Dropping indexes and key constraints while loading data
 Use bulk loading mode for loading data in Targets (If
feasible)
Session Based Tuning
 Allocating Buffer Memory
 Increasing the commit interval
 Disabling High Precision
 Reducing Error Tracing
 Increasing the cache sizes
 Turn Off “Collect Performance Statistics”
