Re: Questions...questions

A couple of months back we migrated from v7.31FD4 to v9.4FC2 (on HP11.11) with no HPL issue so far . We use HPL fairly extensively. Even our shell script that generates an HPL job from the command line was unaffected. 64 bit? Not sure, but it does work with files larger that 2 Gb. Large chunk sizes? Even with our 1.2 Tb instance, I'm quite happy with 2 Gb chunks... I suffer from the illusion that it provides more flexibility. We did run into some minor issues - see a recent post of mine on the subject.

The Migration Guide seems to indicate that onpload will still be supported with no modifications to the scripts. Is this correct or is my interpretation of the Migration Guide off? > > Is the 9.40.FCx High Performance Loader a 64 bit application? The 9.30.FC7 version is 32 bit and therefore cannot connect to shared memory. > > Any issues with the large chunk sizes?
