Device Communication

The basic communication for all business processing is essentially the same. A communication request is sent from the Oracle Utilities application to the head-end system. This request would be for a connect/disconnect, commission/decommission, measurement data, device status check, or an on-demand read. The designated BPEL process transforms the request from Oracle Utilities format to MultiSpeak format and invokes the related head-end system web service. The head-end system then returns a reply, and the BPEL process transforms the reply message back to the appropriate format so that Oracle Utilities can receive the response.
