Where to run IA?
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2016 5:13 am
We have the all the Information Server products, including Information Governance Catalog, running all tiers on a single SMP server (one per environment).
We are following an old IBM recommendation (perhaps from 8 to 10 years ago, pre-IGC), which is to run all IA tasks from a non-production Information Server, so that the resource intensive IA tasks will not disrupt production DataStage and QualityStage and ISD jobs.
Does that logic still hold true today? I have got an impression that now it is best to do all the IGC work and run the IA tasks in the production server only, so that when you publish IA results, the IGC users can view them, as they are all in the same metadata repository.
What is the modern answer to get all the benefits in production without IA tasks being disruptive?
