Recommendations to Improve Your Data Carousel
Rate
Operators of our DBDS have flexibility in managing both the content and the
performance characteristics of their data carousels. This chapter provides
background information and recommendations for managing inband and out-of-
band data carousel rates on the DNCS. It also provides a procedure for verifying
data carousel rate settings and changing them, if necessary.
Note: The terms data carousels and data pumps are sometimes used interchangeably.
SARA Data Carousel Rate Settings
The following table lists the default data carousel rate settings for systems that use
SARA. The footnote numbers are explained on the following page. Also, refer to
General Notes About the SARA Data Carousel Rate Settings (on page 37) for more
general information about the SARA carousels and source IDs.
