The MQ Adapter will respond to a request for an area summary. The reply message will contain information that is available in the Performance Mart database. A synonym will be created to make this data available in the Ops database. The MQ Series Adapter will query this table and send back the information.
This will be a request/reply data flow. The external system must request an outage summary for the MQ Adapter to send a response. The areas that are to be summarized will exactly match some level(s) as defined in the Performance Mart database. The areas that are returned will be the Area Control Zones with recognized active outages. The control zone level of the included areas can be configured through the command line.
