Designing Interval Profile Relationship Types

Recall that the interval profile relationship type can be thought of as the role that interval data will play. You can also think of it as the business description of the interval data.

The starting point for designing your interval profile relationship types is the rate. First, identify the relationship types that your rate needs in order to produce a bill

Using the above rate as an example, two profile relationship types have been identified

Now, you must think about what other relationship types are required to produce the above relationship types needed by rates. In our above example, we will need to define a profile relationship type whose data is compared to the hedge cover data to produce the OVRHEDGE data. Let's assume that this new profile relationship type is related to measured demand.

In this manner, you will be able to successfully define your profile relationship types.
