The Content Management Service dictates how the address reference data files are loaded. You can view the Content Management Service settings in the Administrator tool. The Data Integration Service applies the Content Management Service settings when it loads the address reference data. The Data Integration Service loads the data in the same way for all users.

The average size in memory of each loaded element is approximately the same as the disk footprint. For example, if a user runs a mapping that uses a 533 MB address reference data file in batch or interactive mode, the process memory size will grow by approximately 533 MB.

The memory remains in use while any address validation mapping runs. The Data Integration Service unloads the address reference data and releases the memory when the mapping finishes.
