Creating TOU Map Templates
TOU map templates may be used to define standard data for a TOU map as well as data for special periods, such as holidays. TOU map types reference TOU map templates and used for TOU map data generation.
Prerequisites: You must define TOU groups and work calendars before you can create TOU map templates. Refer to the Oracle Utilities Application Framework online help for more information about creating work calendars.
To maintain existing TOU map templates, select > > > then use standard actions to edit, duplicate, or delete a TOU map template.
To define a new TOU map template, follow these steps:
1. Select > > > If your system supports more than one TOU map template business object, you will be prompted to select a business object for this TOU map template.
2. Enter a name and a meaningful description for the TOU map template.
3. Select the TOU group to be used by the TOU map template.
4. Select the default TOU for the TOU map template (from the TOU Group). This is the TOU used when creating TOU map data for dates not accounted for in the TOU Schedules section.
5. Select the work calendar for the TOU map template. Work calendars define the days of the week on which work is performed, and specify holidays.
6. Select the holiday TOU for the TOU map template (from the TOU Group).
7. Select the TOU map template used for holidays (if applicable).
8. Specify the interval size for TOU map data created from the map template. Interval size is designated as hours:minutes:seconds (HH:MM:SS)
9. To specify TOU schedule's date ranges and which TOUs should be used for this TOU map template, click the + or - sign in the TOU Schedule Section and enter or select the following:
◦ Start and End Dates for a specific date range
◦ Start and End Days of the Week: To add or remove Start and End Days of the Week pairs, click the + or - sign and select the appropriate weekdays
◦ Start and End Times: To add or remove Start and End Times within a Start and End Days of the Week pair, click the + or - sign and enter the appropriate times
◦ TOU
10. Click Save.
Now you can use the TOU map template when creating TOU types.
