Native Implementation Configuration Checklists

This section provides an overview of the steps involved in configuring Native implementations of Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway adapters, including Payload Processing and Smart Meter Command Processing.

Payload Processing Checklist

  1. Create Keys and Key Rings (Cloud Only). See Creating Key Rings and Pairs for more information.

  2. Configure Object Storage Locations (Cloud Only). See Creating Object Storage Locations for more information.

  3. Configure File Storage Extendable Lookup Values. See Creating File Storage Extendable Lookup Values for more information.

  4. Configure a Head End System to represent the Head End System. See Creating Head End Systems for more information.

  5. Configure Processing Methods for the Head End System appropriate for payload processing, including.

    • Initial Measurement Creation

    • Device Event Mapping

    • UOM Translation

      Note: These processing methods rely on extendable lookups. See Configuring Adapter Extendable Lookups for more information.
  6. Configure SGG Payload Processing Extendable Lookup Values. See Creating SGG Payload Processing Extendable Lookup Values for more information.

  7. Configure the adapter's Master Configuration (if appropriate). See Master Configurations for more information.

  8. Configure Other Extendable Lookup Values. See Configuring Adapter Extendable Lookups for more information.

  9. Configure Batch Controls. See Creating Payload Processing Batch Controls for more information.

Smart Meter Command Processing Checklist

  1. Configure Activity Types for each command you wish to support in your implementation. Smart meter commands are activities in the system. For each command you plan to support, confirm that you have a corresponding Activity Type configured. 

  2. Configure Communication Types appropriate for each command you wish to support in your implementation. Each communication sent to the head end system as part of a command request requires a communication type. See the following sections for more information about the specific communications used with each command:

    Note: Note: Most Adapters use outbound communications only.
  3. Configure Message Senders for each command you wish to support in your implementation. See Sending Outbound Communications and Creating Message Senders for more information.

  4. Configure Outbound Message Types each command you wish to support in your implementation. See Sending Outbound Communications and Creating Outbound Message Types for more information.

  5. Configure an External System to represent the Head End System.

    1. Configure Message Senders/Outbound Message Types for each command you wish to support in your implementation See Sending Outbound Communications and Creating an External System for more information.

  6. Configure a Head End System to represent the Head End System. Head End Systems reference the corresponding External System. See Creating Head End Systems for more information.

  7. Configure Processing Methods for the Head End System appropriate for each command you wish to support in your implementation. See Configuring Processing Methods for more information.

  8. Configure Inbound Web Services as appropriate for the Head End System See Receiving Inbound Communications and Inbound Web Services for more information.

  9. Configure the adapter's Master Configuration (if appropriate) See Master Configurations for more information.

  10. Configure Extendable Lookups See Configuring Adapter Extendable Lookups for more information.
