Obtain improvements throughout the replication process during data transformation and transport by utilizing the asynchronous parser, ASCII packing, and inbound and outbound direct command replication features together.
The asynchronous parser, and inbound and outbound direct command replication features improve replication peformance for specific steps in the sequence, while ASCII packing reduces queue storage consumption. However, you can gain maximum performance improvements and reduction in queue storage consumption by using all of these features together. Instead of configuring each of the features separately, use async_parser with alter connection to configure them at the same time.
Ensure that smp_enable on, and that the Replication Server host machine can support additional threads for the parsing before you configure the asynchronous parser feature.
You can set async_parser to on and then set the individual parameters independently to fine tune and balance performance and resource consumption.The default for async_parser is off. Set async_parser off to reset the individual parameters to their default setting. You must set the Replication Server site version to 1571 or later before you can set ascii_pack_ibq on. If the site version is earlier than 1571, setting async_parser on only sets exec_prs_num_threads, cmd_direct_replicate, and dist_cmd_direct_replicate.
Restart the distributor with suspend distributor and resume distributor after you use async_parser. Replication Server restarts the associated Replication Agent when you set async_parser on.
