To build a new Service Order process that includes meter commands, you need to configure the following options:

• Measuring component type: This defines the type of measurement that a device can record, such as scalar, interval, or event. You can associate meter commands with measuring component types to perform actions on devices that have those types1.
• Activity type: This defines the type of work that needs to be performed on a service point or device, such as installation, removal, or inspection. You can associate meter commands with activity types to trigger actions on devices when an activity is completed1.
• Communication type Message sender: This defines the communication channel and protocol that is used to send meter commands to devices. You can configure message senders for different communication types, such as AMI, AMR, or manual1.

You do not need to configure device configuration type, which defines the physical characteristics and attributes of a device, such as manufacturer, model, or serial number1. Device configuration type does not affect meter commands.

Some of the best practices for measurement retention are:

• Derive time-of-use (TOU) values with interval data to prevent storing extra data: Time-of-use (TOU) values are scalar values that are calculated from interval data based on different TOU periods. Interval data is measurement data that is recorded at regular intervals, such as every 15 minutes or every hour. To prevent storing extra data, you can derive TOU values with interval data instead of storing them separately.
• Derive demand from interval data to prevent storing extra data: Demand is a value that indicates the maximum power or load that is consumed or generated during a certain period. Demand can be calculated from interval data by using certain methods, such as block demand or rolling demand. To prevent storing extra data, you can derive demand from interval data instead of storing them separately.
• Use Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) processes to help archive data: Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) processes are features that enable MDM to manage the lifecycle of measurement data based on certain policies or rules. ILM processes can help archive data that is no longer needed or used by moving them to different storage tiers or deleting them.

You do not need to keep scalar measurements in the customer read tables to stay consistent, which are tables that store measurement data that is entered by customers or meter readers. Scalar measurements are measurement data that are recorded at certain events, such as billing cycle end or meter exchange. You can store scalar measurements in different tables based on their source or status.

You do not need to keep initial measurement data (IMD) for the same period of time as final measurements for cancel rebill purposes, which are records that store the raw measurement data that is received from smart meter systems or other sources. Final measurements are records that store the measurement data that has been validated, edited, and estimated. You can keep IMD for a shorter period of time than final measurements based on your business needs or requirements.

A time-of-use (TOU) group is a set of TOU maps that define how usage is divided into different TOU periods for different days of the week and seasons of the year. A TOU group can have a work calendar associated with it to define holidays and other special days that may have different TOU periods than regular days. According to the Oracle Utilities Meter Solution Cloud Service Business User Guide, to configure a TOU group for“on peak”, “off peak”, and “shoulder” periods and have holiday consumption categorized as “off peak” regardless of the day on which it falls, the correct steps are:

• Add the work calendar to the TOU map template and set the Holiday TOU as “off peak”. This will ensure that any day marked as a holiday in the work calendar will have its usage assigned to the “off peak” period.
• Create a TOU map for each season using the TOU map template and define the start and end times for each TOU period (“on peak”, “off peak”, and “shoulder”) for each day of the week.
• Create a TOU group and add the TOU maps for each season to it.

The Smart Grid Gateway (SGG) is a middleware component that provides integration between Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management and smart meter systems. The SGG has three main uses:

• Sharing event information with downstream systems: The SGG can process events from smart meter systems and send them to downstream systems, such as customer information systems (CIS), outage management systems (OMS), ordistribution management systems (DMS). Events are occurrences that happen on devices or networks, such as tampering, low battery, or power outage.
• Connecting to Smart Meter systems: The SGG can communicate with smart meter systems using various protocols and adapters. The SGG can support multiple smart meter systems simultaneously and provide a common interface for Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management.
• Sharing outage information with outage management systems: The SGG can process outage events from smart meter systems and send them to outage management systems for analysis and restoration. Outage events are events that indicate a loss or restoration of power on a device or network.

The SGG does not share customer information or communicate directly with meters. Customer information is managed by Oracle Utilities Customer Cloud Service or Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing. Communication with meters is handled by smart meter systems that connect to the SGG.

To calculate the power factor for a bill, you can use the Vector and Quantity Math rule to derive the power factor from the kWh and kVArh channels. The Vector and Quantity Math rule is a usage calculation rule that facilitates the configuration of complex vector calculations. It is based on a series of underlying services with vectors configured as input to the calculations. The power factor is a ratio of real power (kWh) to apparent power (kVAh) that indicates how efficiently a device uses electricity. The power factor can be derived from the kWh and kVArh channels by using a mathematical formula.

You do not need to use a virtual meter to perform the calculations, which is a configuration that defines how measurements from multiple devices or service points are aggregated or disaggregated. A virtual meter is not used to calculate derived values from measurements, but to create new measurements from existing ones.

You do not need to use a measuring component derivation algorithm to calculate the power factor, which is a custom logic that can be developed by using Groovy scripting language or Java programming language. A measuring component derivation algorithm is not used to calculate derived values from measurements, but to create new measuring components from existing ones.

It is not true that power factor can only come from the meter and cannot be calculated. Power factor can be calculated from other measurement channels, such as kWh and kVArh, by using usage calculation rules.

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.

Usage calculation groups are used to define how usage data are calculated, validated, and exported for different purposes, such as billing, settlement, or analysis. Usage calculation groups can have different components that specify the logic and parameters for performing various operations on usage data. According to the Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management Business User Guide, some examples of components that can be configured in usage calculation groups are:

• CIS rates: These are rate schedules that are defined in the customer information system (CIS) and imported into Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management. CIS rates can be used to specify which bill determinants or usage calculations should be applied for different rate schedules or customer classes.
• Bill determinants or usage validations: These are rules that check the quality or accuracy of usage data and assign condition codes or flags to indicate any issues or errors. Bill determinants or usage validations can be used to ensurethat usage data meet certain criteria or standards before they are exported to CIS or other systems.
• Bill determinants or usage calculations: These are rules that perform various calculations or adjustments on usage data, such as dividing usage into time-of-use periods, applying factors or multipliers, or deriving net usage. Bill determinants or usage calculations can be used to generate different types of bill determinants for billing purposes.
