Excerpt
namePartition Profile explanation (4.3)

The Partition profile has been created as part of the batch scaling solution. In the Partition Profile configuration, you define the Max Scale Factor and one or more fields that will be used to determine the key for partitioning.

Configuration

To create a new Scalable Partition profile configuration, click New Configuration and select Partition Profile from the Configurations dialog.

The profile configuration contains two tabs; General and Association.

General tab

The General tab is open by default when you create or access the Partition Profile. Here, you set the Max Scale Factor, which determines the maximum number of partitions that can be created in your batch scaling solution. This value also limits the maximum number of workflows that can run in parallel—fewer workflows can run, but not more.

Tip

Hint!

When setting the Max Scale Factor, you are defining the number of partitions, which determines the level of parallelism you can achieve. While you should choose a number large enough to handle expected workloads, avoid going too big, as excessively high numbers can strain system resources or lead to inefficiencies if the data isn’t evenly distributed. A good approach is to select a Max Scale Factor that is divisible by many numbers, as this allows for a more balanced distribution of workloads across workflows. For example, numbers like 6, 12, or 30 work well because they can be evenly divided by a wide range of values.

Association Tab

In the Association tab, you define how to assign UDRs to partitions using ID fields. If you add one or more ID fields, these will be used as the partitioning key. If you leave the ID fields empty, partitions will be assigned round-robin.
