When you create parameter files and scripts, use the following guidelines:
To easily maintain flexibility and control of session file locations, use a script to replace placeholders in a parameter file.
Consider the estimated file size and file system capacity when you define file locations.
Avoid organizing files according to business logic if the sessions and workflows need to access business-related files at the same time. For example, if you store California files on one file system and New York files on another, a bottleneck might occur if the session needs to access both files at the same time.
When possible, place files for different partitions of the same source, target, or lookup on different file systems.
