Informatica has developed a solution that leverages the power of grid computing for greater data
integration scalability and performance. The grid option delivers the load
balancing, dynamic partitioning, parallel processing and high availability to ensure optimal
scalability, performance and reliability. In this article lets discuss how to setup Infrmatica Workflow
to run on grid.
You can setup the workflow to run on grid as shown in below image.You can assign the integration service,
which is configured on grid to run the workflow on grid.
Setting up Session on Grid
When you run a session on a grid, the Integration Service distributes session threads across nodes in a grid.
The Load Balancer distributes session threads to DTM processes running on different nodes. You might want
to configure a session to run on a grid when the workflow contains a session that takes a long time to run.
You can setup the session to run on grid as shown in below image.
Workflow Running on Grid
Below workflow monitor screen shots sows a workflow running on grid. You see two of the session in the
workflow wf_Load_CUST_DIM run on Node_1 and other one on Node_1 from 'Task Progress Details' Window.
Key
Features and Advantages of Grid
Load Balancing : While facing spikes in data processing, load balance guarantees smooth operations
by switching the data processing between nodes on the grid. The node is chosen dynamically based on
process size, CPU utilization, memory requirements etc...
High Availability : Grid complements the High Availability feature or PowerCenter by switching the
master node in case of a node failure. This ensures the monitoring and the shorten time needed for
recovery processes.
Dynamic Partitioning : Dynamic Partitioning helps making the best use of currently available nodes on
the grid. By adapting to available resources, it also helps increasing the performance of the whole ETL
process.
