Performance Fix for DBR Formulas
Planning Analytics customers
In this release there was a performance fix that went into the code that evaluates DBR formulas. Basically we were doing something in the DBR logic that had a lot of overhead and we really only needed to do it once. So we fixed that up and saw a huge decrease in processing time. This would only apply if you’re using DBR formulas and it would only be noticeable if you were in the 1000’s of formulas.
