Override Compute Node Attributes to Increase Concurrent Jobs

Override Compute Node Attributes to Increase Concurrent Jobs

You can override compute node attributes to increase the number of concurrent jobs that run on the node. You can override the maximum number of cores and the maximum amount of memory that the Resource Manager Service can allocate for jobs that run on the compute node. The default values are the actual number of cores and memory available on the machine.
When the Data Integration Service runs jobs in separate remote processes, by default a machine that represents a compute node requires at least five cores and 2.5 GB of memory to initialize a container to start a DTM process. If any compute node assigned to the grid has fewer than five cores, then that number is used as the minimum number of cores required to initialize a container. For example, if a compute node assigned to the grid has three cores, then each compute node in that grid requires at least three cores and 2.5 GB of memory to initialize a container.
You might want to override compute node attributes to increase the number of concurrent jobs when the following conditions are true:
  • You run long-running jobs on the grid.
  • The Data Integration Service cannot reuse DTM processes because you run jobs from different deployed applications.
  • Job concurrency is more important than the job execution time.
For example, you have configured a Data Integration Service grid that contains a single compute node. You want to concurrently run two mappings from different applications. Because the mappings are in different applications, the Data Integration Service runs the mappings in separate DTM processes, which requires two containers. The machine that represents the compute node has four cores. Only one container can be initialized, and so the two mappings cannot run concurrently. You can override the compute node attributes to specify that the Resource Manager Service can allocate eight cores for jobs that run on the compute node. Then, two DTM processes can run at the same time and the two mappings can run concurrently.
Use caution when you override compute node attributes. Specify values that are close to the actual resources available on the machine so that you do not overload the machine. Configure the values such that the memory requirements for the total number of concurrent mappings do not exceed the actual resources. A mapping that runs in one thread requires one core. A mapping can use the amount of memory configured in the
Maximum Memory Per Request
property for the Data Integration Service modules.
To override compute node attributes, run the infacmd rms SetComputeNodeAttributes command for a specified node.
You can override the following options:
Option
Argument
Description
-MaxCores
-mc
max_number_of_cores_to_allocate
Optional. Maximum number of cores that the Resource Manager Service can allocate for jobs that run on the compute node. A compute node requires at least five available cores to initialize a container to start a DTM process. If any compute node assigned to the grid has fewer than five cores, then that number is used as the minimum number of cores required to initialize a container.
By default, the maximum number of cores is the actual number of cores available on the machine.
-MaxMem
-mm
max_memory_in_mb_to_allocate
Optional. Maximum amount of memory in megabytes that the Resource Manager Service can allocate for jobs that run on the compute node. A compute node requires at least 2.5 GB of memory to initialize a container to start a DTM process.
By default, the maximum memory is the actual memory available on the machine.
After you override compute node attributes, you must recycle the Data Integration Service for the changes to take effect. To reset an option to its default value, specify -1 as the value.
