It may be even more than 320 * 8 connections opened because if your jobs have more than one Oracle EE stage e.g an input stage and and output stage then that's 2 connections per job. Best to scale back number of jobs that you run at the same time.

perhaps you could provide more details on what you're trying to achieve and clearly define integrate?
i guess the underlying metadata has to be consistent for any integration work.you can't integrate when both the data marts speak different languages if you know what i mean.

You have a data quality issue here, the source data contains row(s) with the value "WS " which you are attempting to convert to a decimal. either you provide rules to deal with this e.g what is the equivalent of WS in decimal ? or you filter out these records.

perhaps a better way would be to tell us what you want to do? do you intend to do a lot of custom sql ? if that is the case then API for everything else i think EE would suffice.

you'll prob need a sequencer to get the start and end time of the job cos the end time of a job is only known after job has finished.
try doing a search on etlstats.

to start with why is your array size set to 1 ? that is very low which means you are commiting every row.try increasing the array size if you can and you will see some improvements.
