Configuring an Out-of-the-box Aggregation

Aggregation calculations should be run on an as needed basis. This can include running the following batch processes:

• Scanning for new aggregation dimension (D1-ADS): This process is applicable if the system is configured to use aggregation dimension scanners to detect new aggregation dimensions (such as a service point referencing a new transformer for which an aggregator measuring component doesn't currently exist)
• Performing aggregation calculations (D2-AGG): this batch handles the summarization of measurement values in order to create aggregated measurements.

Note that aggregation calculations should precede usage transaction processing if aggregated values serves as input to the calculation of bill determinants.

Refer to the About Aggregations section of the Oracle Utilities Meter Solution Business User Guide for more information on this functionality. Refer to Understanding Measuring Component Types for information on Measuring Component Types provided for aggregation.
