Performance tuning, Best practices

The Abinitio co-operating system provides features like

• Manage and run Abinitio graph and control the ETL processes
• Provide Ab initio extensions to the operating system
• ETL processes monitoring and debugging
• Meta-data management and interaction with the EME

Abinition is logically divided into two segments

• Data Integration Portion
• User Interface ( Access to the meta-data information)

The file extensions used in Abinitio are :

• .mp: It stores Ab initio graph or graph component
• .mpc: Custom component or program
• .mdc: Dataset or custom data-set component
• .dml: Data manipulation language file or record type definition
• .xfr: Transform function file
• .dat: Data file (multifile or serial file)

To execute graph infinitely, the graph end script should call the .ksh file of the graph. Therefore, if the graph name is abc.mp then in the end script of the graph it should call to abc.ksh. This will run the graph for infinitely.

Different types of parallelism used in Abinitio includes

• Component parallelism: A graph with multiple processes executing simultaneously on separate data uses parallelism
• Data parallelism: A graph that works with data divided into segments and operates on each segments respectively, uses data parallelism.
• Pipeline parallelism: A graph that deals with multiple components executing simultaneously on the same data uses pipeline parallelism. Each component in the pipeline read continuously from the upstream components, processes data and writes to downstream components. Both components can operate in parallel.

• Dedup component: It is used to remove duplicate records
• Replicate component:It combines the data records from the inputs into one flow and writes a copy of that flow to each of its output ports

A SANDBOX is referred for the collection of graphs and related files that are saved in a single directory tree and behaves as a group for the purposes of navigation, version control, and migration.

Air command used in Abinitio includes

• air object Is : : It is used to see the listings of objects in a directory inside the project
• air object rm :It is used to remove an object from the repository
• air object versions-verbose : It gives the version history of the object.

The syntax for m_dump in Abinitio is used to view the data in multifile from unix prompt. The command for m_dump includes

• m_dump a.dml a.dat: This command will print the data as it manifested from GDE when we view data in formatted text
• m_dump a.dml a.dat>b.dat:It is used to remove an object from the repository

• Abinitio supports serial and parallel layouts.
• A graph layout supports both serial and parallel layouts at a time.
• The parallel layout depends on the degree of the data parallelism
• A multi-file system is a 4-way parallel system
• A component in a graph system can run 4-way parallel system.

To run a graph infinitely:

• The .ksh graph file should be called by the end script in the graph.
• If the graph name is abc.mp then the graph should call the abc.ksh file.

Look-up

• A lookup file represents a set of serial files / flat files
• A lookup is a specific data set that is keyed.
• The key is used for mapping values based on the data available in a particular file
• The data set can be static or dynamic.
• Hash-joins can be replaced by reformatting and any of the input in lookup to join should contain less number of records with a slim length of records
• Abinitio has certain functions for retrieval of values using the key for the lookup.

• Rollup component allows the users to group the records on certain field values.
• It is a multi-stage function and contains
• Initialize 2. Rollup 3. Finalize functions which are mandatory
• To counts of a particular group, Rollup needs a temporary variable
• The initialize function is invoked first for each group
• Rollup is called for each of the records in the group.
• The final function calls only once at the end of the last rollup call.

Partitioning by Key / Hash Partition :

• The partitioning technique that is used when the keys are diverse
• Large data skew can exist when the key is present in large volume
• It is apt for parallel data processing

• This partition technique uniformly distributed the data on every destination data partitions
• When number of records is divisible by number of partitions, then the skew is zero.

Use decimal cast with the size in the transform() function, when the size of the string and decimal is same.
Ex: If the source field is defined as string(8).

• The destination is defined as decimal(8)
• Let us assume the field name is salary.
• The function is out.field :: (decimal(8)) in salary
• If the size of the destination field is lesser that the input then string_substring() function can be used

• out.field :: (decimal(5))string_lrtrim(string_substring(in.field,1,5))
• The ‘ lrtrim ‘ function is used to remove leading and trailing spaces in the string
