Setting up date chunking parameters for validation

For performance reasons, Infor recommends that each validation is set up to use a date field so that the processing can be done in chunks based on the date field. The default number of records to process for each date chunk during validation is 1.5 million. If you want to change this, set up MaxRecordsPerValidationDateChunk configuration parameters. You can set up a configuration parameter that applies to all replication sets in an application data area or the tenant environment data area, and you can set up configuration parameters for specific replication sets or specific replication set / replicate name combinations in the application data areas.

If you do not use a date field to define date chunks, the validation process will use the default value of 1.5 million for the maximum records to process or, if that default value has been changed in the MaxRecordsPerValidationDateChunk configuration parameter, it will use that value. The validation will fail if there are more records to process than the number specified as the maximum number of records to process per date chunk.

  1. If you want to change the default for an application data area or the tenant environment data area:
    1. From the Administration Console menu in the data area, select Other > System Configuration Parameters > By Residence Category.
    2. On the Configuration Parameter Categories form, in the top list section, filter on and select “Replication.”
    3. On the AvailableCreate Parameter.
    4. Specify a number in the Value field to indicate the maximum number of records to be included per date chunk for validation (default is 1.5 million), and click tab, select the entry with the key of "MaxRecordsPerValidationDateChunk" and click Submit.
  2. If you want to set up a MaxRecordsPerValidationDateChunk configuration parameter that applies only to a replication set or only to a replicate name within a replication set:
    1. From the Administration Console menu in the data area, select Other > System Configuration Parameters > By Residence Category.
    2. On the Configuration Parameter Categories form, in the top list section, filter on and select “Replication.”
    3. On the Defined tab, click Create.
    4. Provide values for the following fields:
