Power Flow Service High Level Messages and Command Line Options

Power Flow Service High Level Messages

High level messages are available for data maintenance and troubleshooting.

Note: Oracle recommends that you check with Oracle Support before using these options for the first time - especially in a production environment. They could have unintended consequences for application functionality, performance, or environment resource consumption.

The following Action commands are accepted by PFService, using the form:

Action any.PFService <command> <options>

• SOLVE: Report topology solution activity.

• SS: Report Suggested Switching activity.

• VV: Report Volt/VAr activity.

• TIMING: Report function timing.

Note: If a facility is not specified, you can turn debug on for all of them using Action any.PFService debug <level>.

• debug_device <device>: Enable debug information for device.

• stop_and_free [core]: Free all memory, and stop [optionally produce core file].

• resolve: Resolve the current solution.

• flisr <command>

• dump: Dump FLISR status information.

• alarms: Perform the daily reminders about disabled devices.

• mode <newMode>: Set the system wide mode for FLISR to one of the following:

• disable: Disabled

• manual: Manual

• automatic: Automatic

• device_disable <dev hdl> <user>: Disable the device for FLISR processing.

• device_enable: <dev hdl> <user>: Re-enable the device for FLISR processing.

• flm <command>

• reforecast: Re-execute all future FLM forecasts.

• hourlyTimer: Perform the top of the hour tasks.

• stop: Stop forecasting.

• start: Restart forecasting.

• feeder_ca <command>: Control N-1 feeder contingency analysis.

• start <runtime>: Start analysis, run for <runtime> minutes (default 60).

• stop: Stop feeder contingency analysis.

• feeder_da <command>: Control feeder data analysis.

• start [runtime]: Start data analysis, run for <runtime> minutes (default 60).

• stop: Stop feeder data analysis.

• purge_fca: purge all of the existing Feeder Contingency Analysis results.

• purge_fda: purge all of the existing Feeder Data Analysis results.

• solve_island <device>: Solve island containing <device hdl>.

• dump_disabled_islands: Report list of islands disabled by FLM.

• reenable_island <src hdl>: Re-enable a specific island.

• reenable_island: Re-enable all non-convergent islands.

• print: Report statistics on PFService message usage.

• reset: Reset message counters to zero.

• vvo_current: Initiate VVO current (fast cycle) execution.

• vvo_hourly: Initiate VVO hourly (slow cycle) execution.

• vvo_update_plan <event hdl>: Force an update on VVO plan for a passed event handle.

Power Flow Service Command Line Options

-no_alarms: Prevent generation of system alarms when FLM detects Feeder abnormal conditions.

-stats: Write Model Errors and Power Flow Island Statistics to the database.

-pfdbs: Use a dedicated DBService connection reserved just for PFService queries and updates in the RDBMS.

-incrSolveCutoff: Number of devices affected by a topology change that causes rebuilding to switch from incremental to full solves. Same behavior as the MTService option.

-stats: Have FLM generate solution and island statistics from the power flow solutions.

-allowAutoFlisrStartup: Allow FLISR to startup in automatic mode.
