Standard Name

To ensure that Business Flags are universally understood across all edge applications and to simplify integration each Business Flag will have a Standard Name. This is a name that is used by all the products when sending information to each other. That way, if DataRaker product sends Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management a "TAMPER" business flag, it should result in the same functionality as when Utilities Customer Care and Billing sends a "TAMPER" business flag.

Standard Names are defined using an extendable lookup. In addition to common extendable lookup fields, the standard name also references a category and a class. The lookup also supports defining one or more external names, for cases where information is communicated from an external system that does not send the expected Standard Name.

The framework delivers the class values but does not deliver any standard names or category values. Refer to your specific edge application products to verify if any standard names or categories are delivered. Your implementation may configure appropriate standard names and categories based on your business rules.
