Sort snaps takes more time

[Sowmya_Rayavara]

Hi All,

I have four sort snaps which run parallel. Few times they are getting sorted very quickly(in seconds), especially first time when I ran the interface, but next time or second time onwards, it is taking more time almost few hours. On the next day when I ran the interface again it is completed in few seconds. Could anyone please help me to understand what is happening? Also there is no change in the interface and also there are no other interfaces running in the servers.

Regards,
Sowmya.

Off the top of my head, I don’t have an explanation. I defer to our developers.

This is also effecting me.
Sometimes very quick but after I run a few pipelines everything comes to a crawl.

just under 5K documents shouldn’t take that long to sort.
Only the 2 columns referenced in the sort are in the document as well.

What is the snap downstream from the Sort? The “Output time” statistic there shows that the Sort snap seems to be waiting on the downstream snap to do its work. The time taken to do the Sort was less than a second.
