Device Communication

The basic communication for all business processing is essentially the same. A communication request is sent from the Oracle Utilities application to the head-end system. This request would be for a connect/disconnect, commission/decommission, measurement data, an on-demand read, or another type of request that the head-end system supports. The designated BPEL process transforms the request from Oracle Utilities format to MultiSpeak format and invokes the related web service from the head-end system. The head-end system then returns a reply, and the BPEL process transforms the reply message back to the appropriate format so that Oracle Utilities can receive the response.
