MULTITHREADING

Default: TRUE on multiple-CPU systems, FALSE on single-CPU systems

Purpose

Allows stream building on the client system to be done in parallel with stream loading on the server system.

Syntax and Description

MULTITHREADING=[TRUE | FALSE]

By default, the multithreading option is always enabled (set to TRUE) on multiple-CPU systems. In this case, the definition of a multiple-CPU system is a single system that has more than one CPU.

On single-CPU systems, multithreading is set to FALSE by default. To use multithreading between two single-CPU systems, you must enable multithreading; it will not be on by default.

Restrictions

  • The MULTITHREADING parameter is available only for direct path loads.

  • Multithreading functionality is operating system-dependent. Not all operating systems support multithreading.

Example

The following example enables multithreading on a single-CPU system. On a multiple-CPU system it is enabled by default.

MULTITHREADING=TRUE
