Premise Data Transfer

The premise data file identifies a utility customer's physical, unchanging location. This file is required for utilities that need to display water data or commercial and industrial data in the Oracle Utilities Opower Data Browser. The key fields in the file include:

• Premise Fields
• Service Point Fields
• Device Installation Fields
• Device Fields
• Measuring Component Fields

Your Delivery Team will work with you to determine if the file is required for your program, and to help you construct the file during program launch. See Premise Data File Specifications for more information.

The premise file can be generated as a data extract using the Oracle Utilities DataConnect solution. DataConnect is available for utilities that have the following Oracle Utilities products:

• Customer Care and Billing 2.8 or higher
• Customer to Meter 2.8 or higher
• Meter Data Management 2.8 or higher

If DataConnect is available to you, your Delivery Team will work with you to leverage it for the premise file.

Note: As part of the setup and data transfer process, you must agree to certain data obligations to ensure the quality and integrity of the data. See Utility Data Obligations for more information.
