SSIS 2008 - Fluctuating duration of execution time between 2 Hours and 10 Hours

  • Hi there,

    Please can anyone help

    when importing 9million rows from same 12 tables the duration can be anything from a few hours up to 10 hours.

    This is from 1 database to another on the same Instance of SQL 2008

    If we watch the process thread in the SSMS we keep seeing ‘Suspended’ (Wait type) against ‘PageIOLatch.EX’ or ‘PageIOLatch.SH’

    Can anyone suggest why the duration can fluctuate so much..

    OS: Windows Server 2003 R2

    RAM: 4GB

    VM Machine

    HD in a SAN

    Many Thanks.,

  • i think you have more number of measures\dimensions,

    that's why your cube is taking more time to processing

    try to decrease those measures\dimensions

    and try to make another cube for same datasource

    then check the processing time.

    definately,the processing time'll decrease...

    Those are drive I/O waits. You're pulling, most likely, off shared spindles and the other items on your spindles in the SAN are interfering at varying amounts. I'd talk to your SAN administrator and find out what your LUNs are sharing physical spindle space with.
