Integration Flows
The integration supports the following processes:
Enrollment Request (Edge DERMS Initiated)
When customers enroll their smart controllable device(s) in a program through the head-end system provider or aggregator/vendor, such as Ecobee or Google Nest, the enrollment requests are sent to Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect.
This integration process sends the enrollment request that Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System received from Oracle Utilities Live Energy Connect to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service.
The integration then sends the list of responses for each enrollment request back to Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System when the process is completed.
The following diagram shows a graphical representation of the Enrollment Request integration process:

Processing Details
The integration process deployed on Oracle Integration Cloud is exposed as a REST API and performs the following activities:
1. The process is triggered when it receives an enrollment request message from Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System. The incoming request message can contain multiple enrollment requests, but the DACS REST API can only accept a single enrollment request.
2. The integration loops through each incoming request:
• Transforms the enrollment request payload to Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service format.
• Invokes the Program Enrollment DACS REST endpoint to create the enrollment in Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service in PENDING status.
• Response per enrollment request coming from Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service are collected and later returned to Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System. If an error is encountered, the process continues to the next enrollment request.
• If the enrollment is successfully created, it will store the enrollment ID in the response collection to Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
• If Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service returns an ERROR, store the error in the response collection to Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
3. After all the records are processed, it transforms the Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service response into the Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System response payload.
• It will set the overall ackType field in the response with the following code:
• SUCCESS, if all enrollment responses from Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service have the SUCCESS value in the responseCode field.
• FAILURE, or ERROR if at least one responseCode within the enrollment responses from Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service contains one of those values.
• It will send the responses collected from Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service to Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System.
4. For technical faults encountered in the process, such as Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service unavailable, the integration will set the overall ackType to “FAILURE”.
• If it encounters a technical error while processing an enrollment request, but can continue processing the collection, the error details will be captured inside the response back to Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System and an error email notification is sent out on the first time the error is encounter.
• If it faults and cannot continue processing the collection, Oracle Integration Cloud will try to send a response back to Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System with the details and will also send an email notification with the error details via a common error handler to the users configured in the 'to' recipients of lookup OUTL-BRT-DACS_DRMS_Email_ID.
• If Oracle Integration Cloud is trying to send a failure response to Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System, and it fails, it will send an email notification with the error details via a common error handler to the users configured in the 'to' recipients of lookup OUTL-BRT-DACS_DRMS_Email_ID.

This is a scheduled integration process deployed on Oracle Integration Cloud and performs the following activities:
1. The process is triggered by a schedule or can also be triggered manually.
a. Define the integration schedule for this process and makes sure the Smart Control Device Score Extract Job (X1-SDCSE) schedule in Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service is always run first, so the file is available to be processed by the integration.
b. A couple of the default values used in this integration are defined in the OUTL-BRT-DACS_DRMS_ConfigProps. Make sure to define the properties needed for this integration.
2. It invokes the Object Storage - List Objects REST API to get the list of files found in the Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service Object Storage bucket, set in the properties dacs.os.dvcScore.bucketname and dacs.os.namespace. It will retrieve files matching the prefix set in property dacs.dvcScore.extract.filename.prefix.
Note: The value dacs.dvcScore.extract.filename.prefix should match the beginning of the parameter filename in Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service Batch X1-SDCSE.
• If no file is found and notification.email.process.nofile.flag is true (by default it is false), it will send a no file found email notification to to.process.notification recipients defined in lookup OUTL-BRT-DACS_DRMS_EMAIL_ID and the process will stop.
• If files are found, proceed to the next step.
3. For each file, do the following:
a. Invoke the Object Storage: Gets Object REST API to get the actual file to process.
b. Invoke DERMS Device Score REST API and sends the file as a binary attachment.
• If Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System returns an HTTP 200 or 202, it invokes the REST API RenameObject to rename the source file obtained from the server by adding the prefix set in property dacs.prefixtag.fileuploaded and the next file in the list is processed.
4. After the successful transfer of all files, if the notification.email.process.complete.flag is true, a Process Complete email notification is sent to to.process.notification recipients defined in lookup OUTL-BRT-DACS_DRMS_Email_ID.
5. Error Handling.
For any errors encountered in this process:
• Invoke the REST API RenameObject to rename the source file obtained from the server by adding the prefix set in property dacs.prefixtag.filenotuploaded.
• An error email notification with error details is sent via the common error handler Oracle Integration Cloud process to the users defined in to recipients in lookup OUTL-BRT-DACS_DRMS_Email_ID.
• If the error happens while processing the list of files, the Process Complete email notification is also sent out containing the summary of files transferred and not transferred.
Technical Details
The following table describes the integration processes and the respective Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage and Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System artifacts used in this integration process.
Common Integration Flows
This section focuses on the common logic that is used throughout the integration. The common logic is placed in common integration flows to be reused or called by the other integrations flows. It can be categorized in design standards, email format, and common integration.
File to File Transfer
Many integrations move files from one application to another. Source and target locations can be a folder in an on-premises server or a cloud object storage. This is dependent on what the source and target applications support during the implementation.
Note: Oracle Utilities Edge Distributed Energy Resources Management System uses REST APIs to send and receive files. Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service supports both FTP and Object Storage as its content server.
If the source application supports both FTP and object storage as it’s content server, then there will be two Oracle Integration Cloud flows to support each entry point. It is duplicated because an integration cannot be activated if one of the connections is not setup.
To allow customers to decide how to transfer files to a target location, a file target transfer preference property must be set to determine where to transfer the file. Valid values are “os” or “ftp”.
• If set to “os”, a child Oracle Integration Cloud flow is called to transfer the file to a target object storage location.

• If set to “ftp”, a child Oracle Integration Cloud flow is called to transfer the file to a target ftp location.

Common Child File Transfer OIC Flows (OIC Initiated)
• OU DACS Common FTP Transfer
• OU DACS Common OS Transfer
All child Oracle Integration Cloud flows are exposed as a REST API with multipart request media type to pass a json request message with a file attachment. They are setup similarly to receive the endpoint information to send to an FTP or Object Storage location.

The following tables describe the integration processes and the respective Oracle Utilities Digital Asset Cloud Service artifacts used in the integration process.
Common Error Handler (OIC Initiated)
This integration process is used to send email notification in case of errors in Oracle Integration Cloud.
The following diagram shows a graphical representation of the Common Error Handler integration process:

Processing Details
The integration process deployed on Oracle Integration Cloud is exposed as a REST API and performs the following activities:
1. This process is invoked internally by other Oracle Integration Cloud flows when a technical error occurs in any of the main integration flow.
2. The request message received is processed based on the notification.email.error.flag and notification.type.email property names in the OUTL-BRT-DACS_DRMS_ConfigProps lookup. If both are set to true, then an email notification will be sent on error.
