Optimize the performance of data sources by setting the partition size in the azure_full_pull_partition_size system property.

## Before you begin

Set the application scope to Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure using the application picker. For more information, see [Application picker](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_ApplicationPicker&version=australia&pubname=australia-application-development&ft:locale=en-US).

Role required: admin

## About this task

The parallel loading feature is available for the following data sources:

* Starting with the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure 1.13.0 version:
  * SG-Azure Functions
  * SG-Azure Generic Resources
  * SG-Azure Get Run Command
  * SG-Azure Hardware Template Updation
  * SG-Azure HW Consolidation
  * SG-Azure Kubernetes Cluster
  * SG-Azure Load Balancers
  * SG-Azure Network Interface
  * SG-Azure Public IP Address
  * SG-Azure Run Command
  * SG-Azure Scale Sets VMs
  {#sgc-azure-partition-size-prop__ul_lg2_dys_1gc}
* Starting with the Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure 1.11.0 version:
  * SG-Azure Network
  * SG-Azure Virtual Machines
  * SG-Azure Storage Volume

For a full data pull, the azure_full_pull_partition_size property determines the number of Azure subscriptions that can be executed as parallel jobs to retrieve configuration item (CI) data. Partition size determines how many Azure subscriptions a single parallel-thread evaluates for data retrieval. If you set the azure_full_pull_partition_size property to `100`, the partition size is 100
subscriptions.  
Note:  
If the azure_full_pull_partition_size property isn't configured, the partition size computation feature of the Integration Commons for CMDB application automatically determines the partition size for parallel loading at runtime. See [Partition size computation for parallel loading in Integration Commons for CMDB](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/hlFtVpPn8iOnpjOhpBBYzw "Integration Commons for CMDB supports computed partition size for the parallel loading framework, if supported in a Service Graph Connector.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllService Graph ConnectorsAzureConnections.
2. From the Name column of the Service Graph Connections list, select a connection.
3. From the Property column of the Service Graph Connection Properties related list, select azure_full_pull_partition_size.  
   The azure_full_pull_partition_size system property determines the number of subscriptions that each partition processes for a full pull. For more information, see [Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/DgMopeFsCD5GwkeXAhXnJA "Service Graph Connector for Microsoft Azure properties control the behavior of the connector.").
4. In the Value field, enter a numeric value greater than `0` for the partition size.
5. Select Update.  
   Note:  
   After you enable parallel data loading for a data source, the Test Load 20 Records and Load All Records options don't work for executing the data source. You must select Execute Now from Scheduled Data Import to execute the data source for which parallel loading is enabled.
