SetDistributionEquipment

This element creates or updates distribution equipment configuration, such as transformer or feeder. In addition, this element is used to configure the parent-child relationship of the equipment.

Note: If distribution equipment hierarchies are already configured in App Platform, then changing the values for this attribute and re-importing the DEH file may affect some existing system data. For more information, see Reconfiguring DEH hierarchies and phase mappings in App Platform.

(App Platform only) The elements are arranged in a sequence in the XSD. However, each application that supports the DEH interface can implement a different processing order for these operations. For example, some applications process the remove elements first, followed by the SetDistributionEquipment element, and then the update elements. Other applications process the elements in sequence from top to bottom.

Itron recommends that you use separate files for remove operations and set or update operations. Separate files help you avoid conflicts that can arise from including multiple operations for the same entity in a single file.

Caution: A DEH file can contain multiple operations for the same entity. Do not include conflicting changes for the same entity. Transactions are processed in the order received. Conflicts may impact performance.
