Performance & Scalability
DataStore objects
Partitioning: Support database partitioning by time characteristics
Remodeling for DataStore objects
Performance enhancements:
Activation is changed from single lookups to package fetch of active table
Runtime option “Unique data records only” prevents look-ups during activation,
e.g. in case of initial loads
Performance gain for package fetch (lab results)
Avg. 20 – 40% improvement, Max. improvement measured – 2.5x faster
Varies by data profile (#inserts/updates/deletes) and database platform
New rule-type for Transformations: ‘Read from DataStore’ for an optimized data look-up
to DataStore objects in data bse and Near-Line Storage
Master data
Optimized delta load for master data due to package fetch instead of single look-ups
Optimizes Init-load runtime option “insert only” prevents look-ups during activation

IBM DB2 specific enhancements
Optimized parallel activation of data in DSO objects for IBM DB2 using Database Partitioning Feature
(DPF).
Enhanced Multidimensional Clustering (MDC) Advisor in DBA Cockpit (with DB2 9.5.2 and higher)
Generates proposals along time characteristics 0CALMONTH and 0FISCPER for better performance
Evaluates broader range of MDC proposals (limited by maximum of 33% increase in table size)
With DB2 9.5 and higher: InfoCube fact tables, DSO, PSA tables are created with compression
switched on by default if DB2 storage optimization feature is used to reduce disk space for data
needed. With DB2 9.7, indexes will also be compressed.
With DB2 9.7: MDC switched on by default for PSA and PSA-like tables (e.g. DSO object tables).
With MDC, deletion of requests in data targets is much faster

Cell checks will be grouped by higher granular selections and the checks applied
on this granularity
Today cell checks are done on cell level. Thus checks semantically bound to rows, columns or
other selections are executed redundantly.
