      - Command Server finalization steps
        When you want to achieve performance improvements when running the Command Server in your environment, you must understand the steps that Command Server takes to finalize its processes after execution.
      - Command Server execution time
        When you want to achieve performance improvements when running the Command Server in your environment, you must understand the factors that can affect execution time.
    - Command Server work and data files
      Depending on the conditions of the transformation, such as input data file size and processing complexity, work and data files can significantly affect performance.
    - Command Server paging settings
      To minimize the memory footprint during transformation, HCL Link keeps only a subset of the work and data file information in memory at a given time.
  - Map performance and tuning best practices
    Many functions available to users for developing HCL Link maps are very powerful and can perform difficult and complicated tasks. Some functions may sacrifice performance for powerful capabilities, and it is important to understand the implications of these.

Command Server initialization

When you want to achieve performance improvements when running the Command Server in your environment, you must understand Command Server initialization.

During initialization, the transformation engine loads maps and prepares data for validation. Adapters are loaded and initialized at this time. This phase of execution also includes allocation of memory for the paging subsystem.
