Mass Ingestion Service Process Properties

The Mass Ingestion Service runs the Mass Ingestion Service process on one node. When you select the Mass Ingestion Service in the Administrator tool, you can view information about the Mass Ingestion Service process on the Processes tab.
You can edit service process properties. You can also change the properties while the Mass Ingestion Service process is running, but you must restart the process for the changed properties to take effect.
Use the Administrator tool to configure the following types of Mass Ingestion Service process properties:

HTTP Configuration Properties

The HTTP configuration properties for a Mass Ingestion Service process specify whether the process uses a secure connection or a non-secure connection to communicate with external components. The properties also specify the keystore file to use when the Mass Ingestion Service process uses the HTTPS protocol.
The following table describes the HTTP configuration properties for a Mass Ingestion Service process:
Property
Description
HTTP Port
Unique HTTP port number for the Mass Ingestion Service process when the service uses the HTTP protocol. Default is 9050.
Enable Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Enables the Transport Layer Security protocol to encrypt connections between the Mass Ingestion Service and external components.
If you enable the TLS protocol, you must specify an HTTPS port and a keystore file. You do not specify an HTTP port.
HTTPS Port
Unique HTTPS port number for the Mass Ingestion Service process when the service uses the HTTPS protocol.
When you set an HTTPS port number, you must also define the keystore file that contains the required keys and certificates.
Keystore File
Path and file name of the keystore file that contains the keys and certificates required if you use HTTPS connections for the Mass Ingestion Service.
You can create a keystore file with a keytool. keytool is a utility that generates and stores private or public key pairs and associated certificates in a keystore file. You can use the self-signed certificate or use a certificate signed by a certificate authority.
Keystore Password
Password for the keystore file.

Advanced Properties

The following table describes the Advanced properties:
Property
Description
Maximum Heap Size
Amount of RAM allocated to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that runs the Mass Ingestion Service. Use this property to increase the performance. Append one of the following letters to the value to specify the units:
  • - b for bytes.
  • - k for kilobytes.
  • - m for megabytes.
  • - g for gigabytes.
Default is 512 megabytes.
Note: Consider increasing the heap size when the Mass Ingestion Service needs to process large amounts of data.
For example, if the Mass Ingestion Service runs workflows that create many Human tasks, increase the heap size to 1024 megabytes.
JVM Command Line Options
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) command line options to run Java-based programs. When you configure the JVM options, you must set the Java SDK classpath, Java SDK minimum memory, and Java SDK maximum memory properties.

Environment Variables

You can configure environment variables for the Mass Ingestion Service process.
The following table describes the environment variable properties:
Property
Description
Name
Name of the environment variable.
Property
Value for the environment variable.

Custom Properties for the Mass Ingestion Service Process

Configure custom properties that are unique to specific environments.
You might need to apply custom properties in special cases. When you define a custom property, enter the property name and an initial value. Define custom properties only at the request of Informatica Global Customer Support.
