Configure NMS Parameters

This page details how to add and modify parameter values for Oracle Utilities Network Management System (NMS) application.

Parameter Configuration Overview

There are certain parameters that need to be configured during the extraction of source data to BI data warehouse to identify or filter data in accordance with business requirements. Once these parameters have been set up by the end user, the ELT process can then use this information to selectively extract data or to transform it from the source application and populate it into the warehouse.

Note: The ELT job that loads these parameters into the warehouse is configured to be initial load only. Any incremental changes to these parameters after the initial run is not going to be automatically captured in Oracle Utilities Analytics because any changes made to the existing parameters can cause inconsistencies in the loaded data. However, if there is a need to reconfigure the parameters, they can be changed on the source system and reloaded into the warehouse through certain additional steps. The star schema tables would also need to be truncated and reloaded. For the detailed steps involved in reloading the parameters, see Configure ETL Parameters and Buckets.
