Performance
The Performance dashboard provides KPIs for the Oracle Utilities Meter Data Management performance.
To access the dashboard:
1. Go to the Home page.
2. Select Dashboards > Meter Data Analytics > Performance.
The data for current month and year is displayed by default. You can modify the generic criteria per requirement before compiling the analyses in this dashboard.
The dashboard provides the following dashboard pages:

Percent of Normal Intervals
Description
This analysis shows the percentage of normal intervals that were received in the selected month.
Purpose
This analysis indicates the quality of the interval meter readings being handled by the utility. If there is a dip in the percentage of normal (not missing or estimated or otherwise inferior) interval readings, it might mean that corrective actions will have to be undertaken by the utility. An increase in non-normal readings may indicate that a group of AMI devices are beginning to fail.
Representation
The gauge shows the percentage of normal intervals that have been received, using different colors to denote how the business users perceive the calculated result.
 
The needle movement in the gauge towards yellow or red indicates a need to pay more attention on the interval scenarios. Hover over the gauge for specific values.
 
Note: The ranges for green, yellow, and red can be configured.
 
The table displays the count of normal intervals, its percentage against the total, and the total interval count for the selected month.
Drill Down
The gauge drills down to the Quality dashboard page for the same time period.

Percent of On-Time Intervals
Description
This analysis shows the percentage of on-time intervals that were received in the selected month.
Purpose
This analysis indicates the timeliness of the interval meter readings received by the utility. If there is a dip in the percentage of interval readings received on time, it might mean that corrective actions will have to be undertaken to correct the late arriving measurements.
 
The analysis is especially useful when utilities are determining if the head end systems are meeting their service level agreements (SLA) for on time reading delivery.

Non-Normal Intervals
Description
This analysis shows the count of non-normal interval data against each quality category.
Purpose
Using this tool, business users can analyze the non-normal interval details on a daily basis and identify the respective quality categories. A large number of non-normal measurements may signify a problem with the metering system or other application issues.
Representation
The stacked bar graph shows the count of non-normal interval data per month segmented by quality category. The X-axis represents the month and year. The Y-axis represents the interval percentage. Hover over the bars for specific details.

Quality Analysis
Description
This analysis shows the count of various quality measures for the selected segments. The data is shown for the selected time period.
Purpose
This analysis provides a summarized view of the various quality measures, such as normal, estimated, etc. It allows users to “slice” the database to perform custom data analysis. The three “View By” selections allow users to define the viewing hierarchy. Once the selection is made, the user is presented a summary of the data. They can then drill into the details to see the particular device/service points in question.
