Overview

This section provides an overview of how smart meter commands work and the types of objects used in executing commands when implementing Smart Grid Gateway adapters using native implementations and with Oracle Utilities cloud services.

As noted inDevice Communication Overview, command processing works slightly differently than it does in middleware implementations. That section provides an introduction to command processing in Smart Grid Gateway adapters, and the Native Implementation Command Processing section provides a step-by-step description of the various data and objects created as part of command processing.
