BRF Plus performance

[Former Member]

We are considering expanding the use of BRF Plus within our our systems.  One of the concerns that will be raised is about the impact on performance of increasing the footprint of the Business Rules utilisation on our systems.

I have a couple of questions:

•      Does anyone have information on positive / negative experiences when migrating to BRF Plus rather than traditional configuration?
• If we do experience negative performance impacts, is there a way to direct the load for BRF Plus, for example via the use of logon groups or similar mechanism?

Thanks,

Hi Sachin,

for the sake of completness here is the link to the above mentioned paper: . Anyway the point of performance is heavily dependent on the way you model your rules. So even in big data scenarios you can get a business benefit out of usin BRFplus: Here is a nice blog on that topic: .

Concerning your second question: The BRFplus rules are translated into ABAP coding when they are excuted for the first time. So there is no interpretation of the rules but an execution of plain ABAP coding. So up to a certain point you have the same options to do performance optimization as in ABAP (e. g. using doing parallelized calls of the BRFfunction). The load distribution via logon groups does not distinguish between your ABAP coding and the BRFplus ABAP coding.

Hope that helps

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your concise answers and the relevant links.

What volume of data or number of rules is expected?

There is a paper on BRFplus performance written by Carsten, check that.

Sorry, I didn't get second question.
