Number of Installations in a MRU

Hi all,

Will there be any performance issues if there are more than 1000 unmetered installations in a MRU. The design is to place all the unmetered installations under separate MRU.

With thanks & regards,

Hi Vinodh,

You can allocate  as many Installations as possible in a single MRU. There is no restriction for that.

SAP is recomending a max of 1000 registers, not installations.

(From the link you provided:

SAP recommends that you do not group more than 1000 registers in a meter unit. This due to the following reasons:

§  The meter reading unit is a worklist for a meter reader. This means that a meter reading unit is designed to be the number of registers that a meter reader can read in one day.

§  Performance

Meter reading units are required for creating and outputting meter reading orders as well as for the fast entry of meter reading results. The system reads all meter reading orders for a meter reading unit on a scheduled meter reading date. A large meter reading unit (that is, a unit that contains a large number of installations and corresponding devices and registers) puts a greater strain on the system performance.).

Here in this case, I understood that these installations are unmetered, so there will not be any issue of perfomance as you are not doing any MRO Creation/Download.

Hope this helps you..!!

I have had scenarios where 6000-9000 installations are in a single MRU.

Order creation (EL06 etc) copes fine.

Order output (El35 etc) can dump.

1000 would be 'fine' from my experience, however that wasn't all unmetered. While the noted article states no more than 1000, take that with a grain of salt.

Hi Vinodh,

There will be no performance issues in this case as you are allocatin unmetered installations to the MRU.However SAP advises not to group more than 1000 registers in one MRU.

Hope this helps.
