Michael:

  Replying a few days late here.
  Does SAP have parameters internally that will help you control this?  It
does not really sound like exp/imp but it does sound like SQL*Loader.  Can
you determine what R3Load invokes?  From there, we can help you a bit more.

Thank You

Mark:

Oh...if only this were a conventional import!

This is an SAP system, and the export/import process uses
a SAP-written utility called "R3load".  That I know of, there
are no settable parameters like the buffer parameter in an
Oracle import.

R3load writes to a flat file than is encoded and compressed
using SAP's proprietary programming.  It works very well at
the compression angle.  A 1.5TB database exported out to just
under 300GB of flat files.

The only tuning opportunities I have are on the database
server.  I can send out the whole initSID.ora file, but
I thought that would be overkill for the first question.

Thanks for the support!

Mike

Mike, don't you think it would be helpful to show us the import =
parameters
in use?

If you are doing a conventional import then I would recommend you use a
large buffer=3D value.  If any of the exported options are unnecessary =
for the
import such as grants then set the associated parameter off for the =
import:
grants=3Dn.  If the target tables exist and ignore=3Dy is in use and =
some of
these tables are large drop the indexes so they do not have to be =
maintained
during the table load.  Either build them after or let the import =
rebuild
them.

Subject: Import Question


Hey gang...any suggestions on how to speed up an import?

I am trying to import to a new SAP database server.  Oracle 9.2.0.5
on HP-UX11i.  There appears to be a lot of I/O activity, but
overall I get a feeling of the system dragging.

Some DB params are:
db_cache_size                     =3D3D 2147483648
log_buffer                        =3D3D 2097152
sort_area_retained_size           =3D3D 0
sort_area_size                    =3D3D 5242880
undo_management                   =3D3D AUTO
db_writer_processes               =3D3D 4
java_pool_size                    =3D3D 167772160

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike
