Description

Users have noticed that the following warning message occurs frequently in the environment:

WARN [DBChannel] 2023-04-17 00:18:13.376 +0200 QueryEngine - Parallelization for 
... 
failed. Will execute in CIS. Cause: com.compositesw.server.resource.ResourceAllocationFatalException: Data source /shared/PHYSICAL/Metadata/SS does not allow partitioned requests

Environment

All Supported Environments.

Resolution

This warning indicates that a data source doesn't support partitioning of requests. This usually occurs when users have the Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) option enabled but aren't actually utilizing Parallel Processing.

To resolve this, disable MPP by navigating to:

TDV Studio -> Administration -> Configuration -> Server > SQL Engine > Parallel Processing

If "Enabled" is set to True, change it to False.

It's important to note that this warning doesn't impact queries or the overall functionality of the TIBCO Data Virtualization environment. However, it might clutter the log files unnecessarily. Therefore, it is recommended to turn off the MPP option if not actively utilizing parallel processing.

Issue/Introduction

This KB explains the reason the user encounters the warning message 'does not allow partitioned requests' in the logs, even though the process is not failing and the data doesn't appear to be faulty.
