There are different means you can use to try to decrease LOAD time. Listed below are a few guidelines that may help you reduce LOAD time: o Loading an SCA library for a software system is a time- consuming operation. Loading more than one module at a time is more efficient than loading modules separately. Using LOAD *.ANA is a common method for loading multiple modules. LOAD -DELETE can be used to clean up .ANA files after they are loaded successfully and to use a little less disk space during the load. o With large software systems, it is a good idea to use more than one SCA library and load them all simultaneously. This can lessen the elapsed LOAD time considerably. You should be able to load several libraries simultaneously on a single disk. Additionally, using more than one CPU to do your loads also helps, but SCA loading is mainly I/O intensive. For more information about how to use multiple libraries, see the help subtopics under Libraries. o SCA uses a large number of I/Os during LOAD. Loading an SCA library on a heavily used or badly fragmented disk causes the load to be less efficient.
