Map is processing Hipaa 837 claims. File sizes are 6,000kb -10,000kb usually. Map is giving the 'too few pages requested, more allocated' message. Map is taking apprx. one hour to process the file.

Page count is 8 and page size is 64.

Is there are process to follow to optimize the page count/page size settings in a map to improve the performance of a map?

Thanks.

We have just done it by trail and error. Try increasing the setting for both.

Yes, there are steps to take in optimizing performance. Take a look at the "DataStage TX Performance Guide" provided with 7.5. It is available online at http://www.ascentialsoftware.com/service/products/techLibrary/books/tx7.5/enu/library.pdf
It was previously called "Integration Broker Performance Guide" and shipped with the 6.7.2 release.

Please let us know your performance improvement after you have optimized. I'm sure I'm not the only one who is curious.

For HIPAA, a good starting point we use is 128 or 256 on the page size and 8 or 16 on the number of pages. As others have said, it is somewhat trial and error.

Hi all
you should never increase the size of page count only page size
this could cause a dr watson type error where you are trying to
access memory that is not yours.
even in the health care integration pack for hipaa the compliance
check map is set at 256 and 8, i have implemented some of the
largest BCBS in the country and have never change the bottom
page count as i experienced this very early on in using and developing
systems
Thanks
