About Consumption Extract Requests

Consumption Extract Requests are created every time measurement or interval data is extracted for Oracle Utilities DataConnect or via Configurable Consumption Extracts. The consumption extract request can be created manually, typically to initiate an initial load type of extract, or created automatically, typically for an incremental type of extract, based on a configuration on the consumption extract type.

The Consumption Extract Request is responsible for submitting and monitoring the actual batch jobs that perform the data extract. In addition, it can be used to store any additional filters to further trim down data that will be extracted.

Refer to Configurable Consumption Extracts in the Administrative User Guide for more information about how they are used with configurable consumption extracts.
