Looking back at some emails from around that time. I *think* the issue with repro mergecat is that it access VVD's all over the place. I did not take time to track it down but the best explanation I got is that it must update all the VVDS's . Ed On May 26, 2012, at 4:26 PM, Linda Mooney

REPRO MERGECAT performance

2012-05-25 Thread Tim Hare
We've just done a couple of REPRO MERGECATs that were fairly large, and took some time, so I was wondering: Can MERGECAT performance be improved by altering the buffer space values for either the input or output catalog, or both?

Tim, I would love to hear about any as well. I have done a few and the length of time (even at 0200 ) was poor. I had to ask for 6 hours and was put off for quite some time. I ended up leaving and really never cared what happened. Ed On May 25, 2012, at 8:14 AM, Tim Hare wrote: We've

I've seen this also. I just re-submitted the job with no changes. Eventually the mergecat finished with the end results what I wanted. This appears to be a case of a getmain not being followed by a freemain. It takes a fairly large number of entries to move to pop this problem up. On Fri, 27
