AccountLinkRange
The range of time that the account is linked to the service point. Itron Analytics requires this element to ensure data accuracy.
Use a precise description of the date and time, if possible--either UTC (2014-07-08T00:00:00Z) or local time with an indication of the offset from UTC (2001-10-26T21:32:52+02:00). BOT (beginning of time) and EOT (end of time) can also be used.
If you have existing installations and this is the first time you are creating the MDI file, all accounts can start with BOT and EOT since they will have been previously installed. Then, going forward, you can put in the actual date and time the new account was established.
If you do not provide the date and time, the system will apply BOT and EOT, by default, for all new services and all usage will be assigned to that service point. If the configuration is an existing configuration the system will apply the value of NOW for the start date and time.
The purpose of the date is to associate the usage with a specific time period for the account at that service point; so, the usage is assigned to the correct service point location during that time period.
