When you load a resource, Metadata Manager places the resource in a load queue. The load queue controls the order in which Metadata Manager loads resources. Metadata Manager places resources in the load queue when you start the resource load from the Load tab or when a scheduled resource load begins.
If a resource load fails, Metadata Manager determines if the resource load can be resumed. If the resource load can be resumed, Metadata Manager keeps the resource in the load queue until the timeout interval for the resource load is exceeded. When the timeout interval is exceeded, Metadata Manager removes the resource from the load queue.
You can configure the number of resources that Metadata Manager loads simultaneously and the timeout interval for resource loads when you configure the Metadata Manager Service in Informatica Administrator.
