Description

Use ALLOCFILES to control the incremental number of memory structures allocated once the initial memory allocation specified by the NUMFILES parameter is reached (see "NUMFILES"). Together, these parameters control how process memory is allocated for storing information about the source and target tables being processed.

The default values should be sufficient for both NUMFILES and ALLOCFILES, because memory is allocated by the process as needed, system resources permitting.

ALLOCFILES must occur before any TABLE or MAP entries to have any effect.

Default

500

Syntax

ALLOCFILES num_structures

num_structures

The additional number of memory structures to be allocated. Do not set ALLOCFILES to an arbitrarily high number, or memory will be consumed unnecessarily. The memory structures of Oracle GoldenGate support up to two million tables.

Example

ALLOCFILES 1000
