Outgoing Validate Meter / Item Message
The service provided with the product that processes the Validate Meter / Item notification download staging record does the work of validating the badge number. The service, called CIPOVRSP, does the following:
- Finds a unique device (meter or item) corresponding to the badge number provided.
The validation is only possible if the badge number is unique for a meter or item. If multiple values are found, a negative acknowledgement is returned.
- Verifies that the device is not retired
- Verifies that the Meter type or Item type of the device being verified is defined as valid for the SP Type associated with the field activity's service point.
- It verifies that the device is not already installed somewhere else.
- If the device is a meter, it verifies that there is an effective Meter Configuration for the meter on or before the message date/time.
Return Meter Configuration Type. The meter configuration type and the collection of the meter's registers are included in the output record returned to Oracle Utilities Mobile Workforce Management/Oracle Utilities Work and Asset Management.
- If the device is an item, it verifies that the item's receive date is on or before the message date.
