Creating Object Storage Locations
Note:
Object Storage Locations are used with cloud services only.
When using Smart Grid Gateway adapters with cloud services, you need to create one or more buckets in Oracle Object Storage where payload files will be sent for processing. Refer to the Oracle Utilities Cloud Services Object Storage Setup Guide and the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure documentation for more information about creating buckets in Oracle Object Storage.
After creating the buckets in Oracle Object Storage, make a note of the following, as this information is needed in later configuration steps:
• Namespace
• User Oracle Cloud ID (User OCID)
• Tenancy Oracle Cloud ID (Tenancy OCID)
• Compartment Oracle Cloud ID (Compartment OCID)
Suggested Buckets for Payload Processing
This section outlined suggested sets of Object Storage buckets for each of the Smart Grid Gateway adapters.
General Guidelines
As a general rule, each adapter should have separate buckets for each of the following:
• Usage payloads
• Usage archive
• Usage errors
• Device Event payloads
• Device Event archive
• Device Event errors
If an adapter uses payloads in more than one format (such as in CSV and XML formats), you should also consider creating separate buckets for each file format type.
Note:
If possible, archive buckets should be created in an “Archive” storage tier.
