This feature provides you with the means to control the data flow during the merge process. You can also use this feature to select the application to view the log file. In most cases, you do not need to use this feature. However, you can use it if you encounter the following problems:
-
The merge process is slow.
-
Your computer has insufficient memory resources to perform the merge process.
-
The current application which is used to view the log file cannot handle the current log file (for example, due to the size of the log file).
-
This procedure enables you to:
-
Speed up the transfer process.
-
Free memory resources for the transfer process.
We recommend that you do not configure the Merger Utility unless it is absolutely
necessary.
-
Select File > Preferences.
-
Select the Data Flow tab.
-
Do one of the following to determine how fast the software merges data:
-
Leave the contents of the fields unchanged (the default values are: 1000 rows in the Source rows to retrieve data field, and 500 rows in the Target rows to commit data field).
-
Type a larger number of rows than the current default values. This way you speed up the merge process.
-
Type a smaller number of rows than the current default values. This way you free memory resources but it may slow down the merge process.
Make sure you do not exceed your memory capacity as this may cause the merge process
to fail during the data transfer.

To see the effect of the new settings, continue with the merge process.
