Goal

On Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management (BRM) version 7.5.0.17.0, when running "pin_inv_accts -regen" with a brand pin.conf instead of root, it is using search template to retrieve bills irrespective of brand. This slows down the process since the search result will be having bills of not just that particular brand of pin.conf but all the bills that satisfy the query condition irrespective of brands.

Below is the sample search template from pin_inv_accts pinlog for a brand which is not using any brand specific filter:

This search will lead to performance issue where the search results will contain the bills of all the accounts irrespective of brand.

It is expected that, when pin_inv_accts -regen is run with a brand pin.conf, it should look for the bills related to only that brand instead of going through all the available bills irrespective of brand.

Why is BRM as a Multi-threaded Application(MTA) looking through all the bills?

The can be reproduced  with the following steps:

1. Create a brand in the BRM 7.5 PS 17 system
2. Create few accounts under the brand
3. Do a bill run and invoicing
4. Run pin_inv_accts with brand login (i.e. brand pin.conf) and check the MTA log for the bill search template
