degree of parallelism - Details

  Key Concepts: 
  Degree of parallelism is a concept used in SAP Data Services (EIM-DS) to describe the number of concurrent processes that can be run at the same time. It is used to optimize the performance of data processing jobs by allowing multiple processes to run in parallel. This helps to reduce the overall time taken to complete a job.
  
  How to use it: 
  The degree of parallelism can be set in the Data Services Designer. This is done by selecting the “Parallelism” tab and then setting the number of concurrent processes that can be run at the same time. The degree of parallelism can also be set in the Data Services Management Console, which allows for more granular control over the number of concurrent processes.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the degree of parallelism, it is important to consider the resources available on the system. Setting too high a degree of parallelism can lead to resource contention and poor performance. It is also important to consider the size and complexity of the data processing job when setting the degree of parallelism.
