Measurement Processing Recommendations

Payload processing (in which usage and event data are loaded into the system) should be run separately from measurement processing (in which VEE is performed and final measurements are created). Do not run these processes simultaneously.

When performing Periodic Estimation for the first time, avoid running estimation for large numbers of devices for a long periods of time. The Device Periodic Estimation (D1-DVCPE) batch process used to initiate periodic estimation is designed to perform estimations for a small number of devices per run, not the entire meter population in the system.

Set the Perform Changes in New Session parameter on periodic estimation algorithms (including D1-CIITBIH and D1-ARSPE) to "Y" to improve processing when many initial measurements are being created in one run of these algorithms. When this parameter is set to "Y" each initial measurement will be created in a separate session and will be committed as they are completed. This improves performance since there are fewer changes being cached and ensures progress is saved in the event of errors during processing.
