or using SQL ELT optimization. Runtime strategies are powered by CLAIRE, Informatica's AI engine. CLAIRE uses FinOps capabilities to identify the runtime strategy that saves the most on cloud infrastructure costs and optimizes job performance.
If CLAIRE recommendations are enabled in your organization, you can select a runtime strategy when you create a
mapping
task based on a mapping in advanced mode. CLAIRE analyzes the mapping and recommends one of the following runtime strategies to optimize cost, performance, or both:
Advanced cluster
. Schedules the workload for distributed processing on an advanced cluster.
SQL ELT optimization. Converts the transformation logic to an SQL query and sends the query to the data warehouse.
The following image shows a recommendation that you might see:
The default runtime strategy runs the
mapping
task on an
advanced cluster
or using SQL ELT optimization based on whether SQL ELT optimization is configured on the
Runtime Options
page. If SQL ELT optimization is configured, the
mapping
task runs using SQL ELT optimization. Otherwise, the
mapping
task runs on an
advanced cluster
.
The target duration confidence level shows the likelihood that the job will run within the target duration that you specify. The confidence level can change based on the runtime strategy that you select. If you select the runtime strategy that is more performant, it's more likely that the
mapping
task will run within its target duration.
Runtime strategy recommendations and the target duration confidence level might not appear for some
mapping
tasks. CLAIRE continues collecting metadata in the background and shows these details when it has enough confidence.
Runtime strategies aren't available for
mapping
tasks that run in a serverless runtime environment.
