EIM Performance Tuning Tips

Some Useful Performance tuning tips for Siebel EIM:

1. ONLY BASE TABLES or IGNORE BASE TABLES parameters
List only those tables that are relevant for a particular EIM task

2. ONLY BASE COLUMNS or IGNORE BASE COLUMNS parameters
List only those columns that are relevant for a particular EIM task

3. Separating Insert and Update Statements
  • Always better to separate the Inserts and Updates in different batches
  • EIM has to perform additional processing to determine whether to insert or update
4. USE INDEX HINTS Parameters usage
  • If FALSE, EIM does not generates hints during processing
  • EIM processing should be tested with both settings (TRUE and FALSE) to determine which provides better performance
5. Additional Indexes on EIM tables
Sometimes it is recommended to create additional indexes on EIM tables to improve performance of time-consuming SQL statements.

7. Controlling size of batches
  • Siebel recommends to use a batch size no more than 5000 rows.
  • Using batch ranges (x-y) allows us to run with smaller batch size and avoid the startup overhead on each batch.
8. USING SYNONYMS parameter usage
  • When set to FALSE, it saves processing time because queries that look up synonyms are not used (for Account load)
  • Should not be set to FALSE if multiple addresses are used for Accounts.
9. Transaction logging
When set to FALSE during initial load, reduces transaction activity to the siebel docking tables

10. Parallel execution of EIM jobs
Run mutually exclusive EIM processes concurrently

11. Optimizing SQL
Running EIM job with the following flag settings
Error Flags: 1
SQL Trace Flags: 8
Trace Flags: 3

12. UPDATE PRIMARY KEYS and PROMARY KEYS ONLY parameter usage
UPDATE PRIMARY KEYS and PROMARY KEYS ONLY parameters should be avoided in IFB file

13. Regular Table maintenance (GATHER TABLE STATS)
Running gather stats would help faster processing of batches

14. Clear EIM tables
Delete old batch records before running fresh EIM task
