BRM Performance with large hierachies
BRM 7.4 Patch Set 16 contained a number of improvements which enable a single billing account to have a large number of services associated with it. The Release Note says:
Improving Performance for Billing Cycle Fees (Patch Set 16)
A wholesale market customer account can have a large number of services with different balance groups. In the previous releases, the billing operation applied cycle fees sequentially for each of the services. Therefore, billing took a long time to complete. With this patch, you can now configure BRM to apply cycle fees in parallel for a number of services prior to billing, thereby eliminating the process of applying cycle fees during billing and improving the performance of the billing process.
