Using External Loads
You can use an external loader to increase session performance. If you have a DB2 EE or DB2 EEE target database, you can use the DB2 EE or DB2 EEE external loaders to bulk load target files. The DB2 EE external loader uses the Integration Service db2load utility to load data. The DB2 EEE external loader uses the DB2 Autoloader utility.
If you have a Teradata target database, you can use the Teradata external loader utility to bulk load target files. To use the Teradata external loader utility, set up the attributes, such as Error Limit, Tenacity, MaxSessions, and Sleep, to optimize performance.
If the target database runs on Oracle, you can use the Oracle SQL*Loader utility to bulk load target files. When you load data to an Oracle database using a pipeline with multiple partitions, you can increase performance if you create the Oracle target table with the same number of partitions you use for the pipeline.
If the target database runs on Sybase IQ, you can use the Sybase IQ external loader utility to bulk load target files. If the Sybase IQ database is local to the Integration Service process on the UNIX system, you can increase performance by loading data to target tables directly from named pipes. If you run the Integration Service on a grid, configure the Integration Service to check resources, make Sybase IQ a resource, and make the resource available on all nodes of the grid. Then, in the Workflow Manager, assign the Sybase IQ resource to the applicable sessions.
