Configuring Measuring Component Statistics

Measuring Component Types

In order to start generating Measuring Component Statistics, two different configurations must occur for Measuring Component Types:

• New Measuring Component Types must be configured that leverage the Channel Statistics Type business object. These should be setup as the periods for which Measuring Component Statistics should be calculated. For example, if you would like to be able to reference both last month, last year, as well as the past 13 months as statistics periods, then 3 different Channel Statistics Types must be setup for this. These could be setup as follows:
• • "Last Month" Channel Statistics Type:
  • Calculation Lag Days = 0
  • Calculation Horizon Days = 30
  • "Same Month Last Year" Channel Statistics Type:
  • Calculation Lag Days = 365
  • Calculation Horizon Days = 395
  • "Prior 13 Months" Channel Statistics Type:
  • Calculation Lag Days = 0
  • Calculation Horizon Days = 395

NOTE: it's recommended to set the Statistics Retention Mode to "Only Retain Most Recent Record" on the Channel Statistics Type to reduce the amount of data being stored in Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management.

• For a Physical Measuring Component Type leveraging either "Interval Channel Type" or "Register - Auto-Read Type", the Related Statistics Measuring Component Types section must be filled in with the appropriate types that should be created for the Physical Measuring Component.

VEE Rule

If you have a desire to leverage Measuring Component Statistics for VEE, the Dynamic Comparison Validation VEE Rule section should be referenced. A number of detailed examples of how to implement this rule are provided in this section as well.

Related Batch Controls

There are a few batches directly involved with Measuring Component Statistics:

• Measuring Component Historical Statistics (D1-MCHS): this batch monitors any active Statistics Measuring Components to execute the logic for calculating a new set of historical statistics.
• Statistics Measuring Component Creation (D1-STMCC): this batch is used to create Statistics Measuring Components on any Physical Measuring Components that were created prior to configuring this module. This is especially useful for existing customers that want to implement Statistics Measuring Components for all of their devices.
