Dynamic Aggregation - Load Distribution Improvements

The Aggregation Foundation Set (D1-AggregationFoundationSet) measuring component set business object now includes the following Load Distribution elements:

• Distribute Load: A flag that indicates ("Yes" or "No") if if the measuring component set's transactional data should be further distributed via an additional dimensional attribute.

• Number of Digits to Use: The number of digits from either the service point ID or usage subscription ID to use as an additional dimensional attribute when distributing the load. Required if Distribute Load is set to "Yes".

• Load Distribution Managed By: Specifies which identifier, either "Service Point" or "Usage Subscription", whose last x digits will be placed as an additional dimensional attribute on the aggregator measuring component.

• Load Distribution Formula: Identifies if further criteria are needed when applying load distribution. For example, if "postal code" is a dimensional attribute, and we only want to distribute the load for a specific postal code where population is denser, a Criteria can be specified, and this formula can be used to identify how that Criteria will be evaluated. This formula is applicable only when the Distribute Load parameter is set to "Yes".

This reduces run times and high resource usage when processing large volumes of data. This also reduces implementation costs.

Steps to Enable

To enable this feature, complete these steps:

1. On the Measuring Component Set, set Distribute Load to "Y".
2. Define the distribution criteria by entering the Number of Digits to Use, Load Distribution Managed By, and Load Distribution Formula.
