Oracle Only Parameters Description

Drop

Whether to drop repository indexes. Specify:

  • Auto, to let the script determine whether to drop repository indexes based on the number of files to be processed.
  • Yes, to drop repository indexes.
  • No, to not drop repository indexes.

Dropping repository indexes generally improves performance when a large number of files need to be processed. Dropped indexes are restored when processing is complete. Default is No.
