File Transfer Limits

There is a limit to the file size and file count that the Oracle Utilities Opower data ingest system can process in a day. The table below indicates the limits for uncompressed data files.

Note: Given the minimum setup and break down time that the data transfer jobs require to ingest data, it is recommended that you send a small number of large files to Oracle Utilities Opower rather than a large number of small files. A small number of large files can be processed faster than a large number of small ones.

File Size (Gb)	Daily File Count Limit
1	45
2	20
3	15
4	10

As an example, the first row indicates that if your files are 1 gigabyte in size, then you can transfer a maximum of 45 such files in a day to Oracle Utilities Opower. The second row indicates that if your files are 2 gigabytes in size, then you can transfer a maximum of 20 such files in a day.
