Degree of CPU parallelism

This field contains the degree of CPU parallelism to be used by the load utility for such operations as formatting data. A degree of parallelism of 3 means that three formatters are spawned. To change this number, use one of these methods:

The default value of 0 specifies that the degree of CPU parallelism will be based on the number of system CPUs currently online.

This option is most useful when you are running on a system with multiple CPUs. It allows for optimal parallel loading while preserving the order of records in the source data. This is especially useful when you are loading presorted data.
