Inbound / Outbound Service Configuration
The inbound/outbound message utility allows you to configure your system to receive information from and to send information to external applications using XML. The Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway uses one inbound web service to map device events. This is the same inbound web service used by the D1 application.
Inbound Web Services
Inbound web services define the details of how messages are received from an external system, including the inbound communication business object (or business service or service script) to be invoked when the response message is received. As in the case of inbound communication business objects, the set of inbound web services you need to create is based on the types of messages the system is designed to send.
The Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway Adapter for NES uses the following inbound web services to import usage and device events:
Inbound Web Service
Description
D1-DeviceEventSeeder
Used for upload of device events.
The Device Event Seeder business object serves as a means of adding device events both from outside the application and from online. Its pre-processing algorithms determine the device event type - which in turn defines the device event BO that should be used to create the device event.
If a device event type can't be determined, the device event is created using this BO. Such a device event can then be re-processed - and if successful, a new device event is created.
D1-InitialLoadIMD
Used for initial measurement upload.
The IMDSeeder business object is used to determine the type of initial measurement business object to instantiate when receiving usage readings from a head-end system.
The Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway Adapter for NES includes the following inbound web services for receiving communications from the NES:

Message Senders
Message senders define the details of how messages are sent to an external system. As in the case of outbound communication business objects and outbound message types, the set of message senders you need to create is based on the types of messages the system is designed to accept.
The Oracle Utilities Smart Grid Gateway Adapter for NES includes the following message senders:
