The customer needs to create a single measuring component type to store the 15-minute interval readings along with the daily scalar register reading. A measuring component type defines the type of measurement that a device can record, such as scalar, interval, or event.A measuring component type can store multiple measurement types, such as interval and scalar, for different purposes, such as billing, load research, and presentment1.

The customer does not need to create separate measuring component types for each measurement type or each use case purpose.This would result in unnecessary duplication of data and complexity of configuration1.

Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management normalizes measurements during the Create the Final Measurements stage of loading interval initial measurement data. Normalization is the process of converting interval measurements into a common format that can be processed by Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management. Normalization involves storing each interval measurement as a single record for a specific date and time, regardless of how they are received from smart meter systems.

Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management does not normalize measurements during other stages of loading interval initial measurement data, such as Load the Initial Measurements stage or Validation, Estimation, and Editing (VEE) stage. Normalization is not done for other purposes, such as validation or intervalization.

Synchronization Add BO is associated with the lifecycle algorithm on Dl-Device Configuration BO. A lifecycle algorithm is a custom logic that can be developed by using Groovy scripting language or Java programming language. A lifecycle algorithm is used to perform certain actions or validations when a business object is created, updated, or deleted. Synchronization Add BO is a parameter that can be configured on the lifecycle algorithm on Dl-Device Configuration BO. Synchronization Add BO is used to determine the appropriate business object for creating a new device based on certain criteria, such as device type or device configuration type.

Synchronization Add BO is not associated with the business service associated with Dl-Device Configuration BO, which is a component that provides the functionality and logic for processing data related to device configuration. Synchronization Add BO is not associated with the options on Dl-Device Configuration BO, which are configurable values that can be used to define business rules or relationships for device configuration. Synchronization Add BO is not associated with the validation algorithm on Dl-Device Configuration BO, which is a custom logic that can be developed by using Groovy scripting language or Java programming language. A validation algorithm is used to perform certain checks or validations on the data entered for device configuration.

The client requests to design and set up data necessary to support an electric meter that is installed at a customer's service point with solar panels. The meter has two channels that measure the kWh that was consumed from the grid and the kWh that was generated. Using the Math usage rule, usage transactions that take the difference between the consumed and generated channels must be created and stored. According to the Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management Business User Guide, some statements that are true about this scenario are:

The two channels need distinct service quantity identifiers (SQIs) to differentiate between the generated and consumed kWh. SQIs are codes that identify different types of usage data, such as kWh, kVARh, or kW. SQIs can be used to specify which usage data should be used for calculation or validation purposes.

Net consumption SQI is required. This is a code that identifies the usage data that represents the difference between the consumed and generated kWh. Net consumption SQI can be used to store and name the difference value and export it to other systems.

You must set ''Save Derived Vector'' to Yes in the Math usage rule. This is a parameter that indicates whether the derived curve that results from the Math usage rule should be saved or not. Setting this parameter to Yes can be used to store the derived curve that represents the net consumption.

An activity type is an Oracle Utilities Application Framework (OUAF) admin data that should be created for a custom Service Order Management process. An activity type defines the type of work that needs to be performed on a service point or device, such as enable service or disable service. An activity type also defines the following attributes:

The status and priority of the activity

The business object and algorithm that are used to process the activity

The fields and validations that are required for the activity

The notifications and escalations that are triggered by the activity

The dependencies and relationships that exist between different activities

An activity type is used to create and manage service orders, which are records that store the details and outcomes of the work performed on a service point or device.
