SERVICE MODE UPDATES

Program Based Configuration Overview» Define standard Service Point, Meter, Account (programs/templates)» Configuration Add (Identify SP, Meter, Account programs used, specify instance specific details)» Developed for AMI meters to simplify configuration import and management

Service Mode and PBC» IEE 8.0, Service Mode and PBC support» PBC will be officially supported with Service Mode in IEE 8.0» Current Limitations, not supported Non-combined Meter/Recording Device (non RUG configs) Multiple Meters per Service Point Meters across multiple Service Points Register Channel Mapping Master File Convertor Tool

Service Mode and Decoded Register Data» TIM and Register Decodes Register Decodes used to import demand, TOU, site diagnostic registers Register decodes developed» MV-90/xi Register Data Reports Standardized Register Reporting Includes all registers collected by TIM» IEE Register Decode Name Types Register Channel required for each register type Only configured register quantities imported

Device Alarm/Event Update» Extended Event Code Support» Event Code Mapping Scripts» Discard Event Code Mapping» Coming Soon in IEE 8.0! New Device Event Reports Event Categorization

IEE C&I MDM UPDATES

Validation Exception Management» Validation Queue Changes» Performance Improvements» Group Filtering» Workflow options ValidationWorkQueueAdmin Bulk Operations» Upcoming Changes Removal of Rule filtering Dock-able bar at bottom of Validation Queue to display Queue Item Details

Direct HHF Import Adapter» PROFILE HHF and MV90 Type Formats supported» Delete Overlaps» Support of Channel Mapping» Does not support import of register decode type data

Data Driven Schedules Updates» Data Driven Schedules are key for automation of C&I data processes and billing» Multiple improvements made to IEE 6.0 SP4 Performance improvements Addressed memory leak issues Corrected issue with exports getting scheduled twice Issues with cycles running after occurrence expiration Changes made on task scheduling on missed, expired occurrences

Report/Export Updates Changes» Coincident, Non-Coincident Peaks Report» MV90 Spreadsheet- Summary Row Formatting Changes Comply closer to MV-90 xi output Account Number output» Lodestar Export- Standard» Register Channel Calculations Method

SERVICE MODE DISASTER RECOVERY

Service Mode Disaster Recovery Approaches» What is the challenge? Service Mode Pervasive Database Configuration replication (last read time)» What are your requirements? What is the maximum downtime? Failover requirement to different location and hardware? Multiple Service Mode Servers?

Service Mode DR/Failover Database Backup/Restore» Pervasive Database Backup Manual process using Continuous Mode Windows Task Scheduler can be used for automation» Pervasive Backup Agent Separate Licensed product from Pervasive Integrates with most backup software Simpler approach than manual script execution» Process Database backup during off-peak hours and stored at off site location, accessible from alternate site

Service Mode DR/Failover using Virtualization» Virtualization allows actual VM to be recovered at alternate location» Backup location would be in standby until recovery is required» Modem/hardware shared between both sites
