The Check Indexes for Segmentation job determines if smart partitioning will use existing table indexes for segmentation.
Table indexes can help optimize smart partitioning performance and significantly reduce smart partitioning run time. Typically smart partitioning uses the index predefined by the application. If multiple potential indexes exist in the application schema for the selected table, the Check Indexes for Segmentation job determines which index to use. You must register the index after you add the table to the segmentation group.
Before you run the Check Indexes for Segmentation job, you must configure a segmentation policy and generate metadata for the segmentation group. Save the segmentation policy as a draft and run the job before you run the segmentation policy.
Provide the following information to run this job:
SourceRep
Source connection for the segmentation group. Choose from available source connections.
SegmentationGroupName
Name of the segmentation group that you want to check indexes for. Choose from available segmentation groups.
