Tuning a standalone ODI agent


An ODI agent orchestrates all ODI executions. As such, it is a central piece of the infrastructure. Properly tuning the agent and understanding what requires tuning will help you better manage your infrastructure.

Getting ready

If you do not have an agent available, you can run the ODI installer and select the ODI Standalone Agent option. For the recipe that follows, we assume that the agent was installed on a Windows machine, in the folder c:\oracledi\products\11.1.1.6. If your agent is installed in a different directory or on a different operating system, keep this in mind as you follow these steps.

How to do it...

  1. Go to the bin directory of the agent:

    c:\oracledi\products\11.1.1.6\oracledi\agent\bin
    
  2. Edit the file odiparams.bat (you will have to edit the odiparams.sh file on Linux or Unix systems).

  3. In the file, identify the parameters ODI_INIT_HEAP and ODI_MAX_HEAP...
