Hash file question
One basic question related to hash file:
In which scenario should we set Pre-load file to Memory-Enabled.
I mean to say, is it wise to set above property when hash file is big?
In my case, in the sequence jobs are running parallel and some of the jobs using hash files as well.
Need to know best practice on same.
Thanks in advance.

It will load the file to memory until it determines that it won't fit; the program isn't smart enough to detect from the file size that it cannot fit. This load causes IO and CPU and can take a long time on many systems, so it is best to do as Craig has already suggested and don't set the switch.

Ramesh: Can you please explain little bit more about link private caching facility. I don't have any idea on same.
No, it will just be informational. Here, one from my logs:

You might like to read the Technical Bulletin dsdskche.pdf to gain an in-depth knowledge of different possibilities for hashed file cache, such as private link cache, public link cache and shared cache.
