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.

It is important to understand when it is better to use one function over another that can perform the same task but does so differently. Each function has advantages and disadvantages and users have the flexibility to choose the function that best suits their specific transformation needs.

These are suggestions for tuning maps to achieve the best performance results through the various map functions. The functions fall under the following categories:

Also, the following utilities can be used to help you identify the areas in your maps that might be causing performance degradation and then you can make the appropriate changes to your maps to improve their performance:
