Process X - Populate Interval Data

Process X refers to the mechanism used by your organization to populate the Interval Value tables. Process X will have the following responsibilities:

  • It will determine the appropriate Bill Factor and Characteristic to which this data belongs. Recall that the bill factor / characteristic may reference an external id.
  • It will create a new Interval Value Set for this bill factor characteristic with the current date and time
  • If the interval data is from a different time zone, or is not in standard time for the base time zone, the time of each interval must be converted to the base time.
  • All prices being uploaded for the same bill factor and characteristic should be inserted into the Interval Value table and should reference the same Interval Value Set
  • Inserts a record in the interval value set key table.

The topics in this section describe the tables to populate.
