When the destination database is local, you can achieve
better performance using the appropriate database definition options.
For a destination database that is visible
over the local file system:
- Use the direct mode transfer mode. This mode causes
the transfer package to be generated directly into the transfer path
of the destination database without compressing the package.
For a destination database that is not visible
over the local file system, but has a high-speed network connection
and is on a trusted host (that is, you can use the rcp and rsh commands
without entering a password):
- Use uncompressed packages and the Remote Copy transfer mode. You
can also improve performance if you specify a generate_directory for
the transfer set that is a local file system rather than an NFS file
system.
