File size Syndication

[Former Member]

HI

I have a huge file being syndicated via automatic port - 120 Meg

I takes 2 hours to generate the file, but when writing file to the port it seems to hang

When the file is done manually it takes a minute to save after generation.

I know it possible to set max. amount of materials during syndication, but this is not possible in this case.

I have not yet tried to time the syndication for later, but i guess it will still be a problem with the time used to write to port.

Any suggestions?

max. File sizes?

Hi Kurt,

Use the Property Max Records Per output File of MAP Properties Tab of MDM Syndicator. This will generate files with max number of records only. e.g if you set 500 and records your are syndicated is 5000, then there will be 10 files syndicated out of MDM with each file containing 500 records.

Hope it helps..

Hey,

If you are syndicating distinct records in your file, you can use the parameter "Max Records Per output file", this will create multiple files with limited number of records in each of them.

Hi Kurt

Syndication process also means updating the last syndicated time in MDM DB for the records so that they are not considered for next syndication. I am assuming that you are using Suppress Unchanged records in the map.

Updating the records will take time depending upon the load on MDS.

Try to schedule this syndication in off peak hours, may be faster.

Also you can try to reduce the file size(no of records) based on some filter conditions in the syndication map, but that will mean having multiple ports and maps.
