Multithread is a way Informatica can parallelism the load into the =
target using many concurrent sessions.
Since it's direct load, each session will try to allocate its own =
extents to load into.

I would check if they have a very high number of threads.

But also since you said the job failed and the table was loaded with =
some rows (200K), this indicates that they have low setting for the =
commit interval otherwise the table will be empty.

Commit interval should be very high 1 million or higher.

Waleed,

The tablespace is locally-managed, 128MB extents.     I'll have to ask
about the multithread, can you
tell me the ramifications of it?

Thanks.

I use it. It's using direct load OCI.
Never had your problem.

What is the extent size (initial/next ) for the table? Are they using =
=3D
=3D3D
multithread in the mapping?

Subject: Informatica Bulk Mode behavior


List,
Is anyone familiar with how Informatica's bulk mode works?  =3D3D20

We have a situation where I created a 4GB tablespace for a new and
simple=3D3D20 truncate/load operation from Informatica, around 7 million
rows estimated=3D3D20 to take up 1.5GB. =3D3D20  =3D3D20 Using bulk =
mode, =3D
which
appears to be a direct load (in the SQL cache, the=3D3D20 INSERT =
statement
has a hint that I've never seen before:  SYS_DL_CURSOR which=3D3D20 I =
=3D
assume
stands for Direct Load), they run out of space in the tablespace
after=3D3D20 about 200K rows have been inserted.

If I then manually rebuild the table, the 200K rows gets compressed back
down=3D3D20 to one extent.

So there's a lot of either empty or preallocated space.    Thinking
somehow=3D3D20
the high-water mark was the culprit, I manually truncated the table
before=3D3D20 they reran their job.  =3D3D20

Still the same problem.  =3D3D20

If the job runs in 'normal' mode, which is row-by-row processing, it
runs fine,=3D3D20 although of course, performance is quite poor.

Any ideas/experience as to how this bulk mode operates?

Thanks.
