External System

External systems represent external applications with which the Smart Grid Gateway will exchange messages or data. In the case of the Smart Grid Gateway adapters, external systems represent the head-end systems with which the adapters communicate.

An external system that represents the Itron OpenWay head end must be present in your system. If this is not present in your configuration, add it, along with the following Outbound Message Types. Refer to the Oracle Utilities Application Framework documentation for more information about creating external systems.
