For more than 2 yrs of experience people, this PERFORMANCE TUNING mandatory concept and they must have good knowledge on this.
Situations to go:
a) To create a package with optimization.
b) There is a package which is running for such a long time.
In the above situation, we need to identify the “bottlenecks” and resolve them.
These bottlenecks can be at many levels
Identifying bottlenecks
By using “progress tab” information or by using “log providers” we identify the bottlenecks (because they display step by step execution)

Implement checkpoints to have better restart ability of components in the package.
a) Disable event handlers: Event handlers decrease package performance so, unnecessary event handlers should be removed or disabled.
b) Maximum concurrent executables: Increasing the one no. of executable will increase the parallelism of the package and concurrently execute in less time.
c) Maximum error count: Default ‘1’ means it fails for a single error in the package. If you increase the error count it doesn’t fail the package until it reaches the count.
Frequently Asked MSBI Interview Questions & Answers
1) Delay validation: (it’s true/ false)
True means the validations of component is delayed until the execution of other component finished.
Delay validation=true
a) In case of flat file
Try to take the flat-file local to the system.
Use the property “fast parse=true”. So that the columns user faster, local neutral parsing routines and avoid unnecessary conversions.
b) If the source is table or view
Create indexes on the source table so that it set gives the data faster.
Instead of taking a table, take an SQL query or SQL command as a data access mode to get required columns and rows of data.
a) In case of flat file
b) Use data access mode as a fast load to load the data much faster.
c) The table contains constraints, indexes, triggers, and then loading will be slow. So we need to disable or drop them, later once the loading is finished recreate or enable them.
To implement this there are many ways:
We need to identify either the transformation is synchronous or asynchronous.
Asynchronous transformation always taken time to run than synchronous.
Synchronous transformation:
Here the rows are processed as it is getting from the source.
Eg: derived column, data conversion…. Etc.
This transformation occupies less memory and processes
Asynchronous transformation:
In this case, until the required rows the system collects, it doesn’t perform any operation.
It requires more memory and processes many rows. This transformation either blocks partially or fully. So these transformations can also be called as “partially blocking or full blocking transformations”.
Eg: sort, aggregate, merge..etc.
In this transformation, until they receive all rows they will not perform any operation.
