AMI billing rate calculation task adapter
The AMI Billing Rate Calculation Task Adapter task template allows you to define how billing calculations are processed if there are exceptions. It also allows you to define the subsequent processes to start and what the trigger is for the next process.
Use the following procedure to configure a task template:
-
Go to System Operations > Task Management > Task Templates.
-
Use the dropdown menu to select the Task Type and Task Template. (Click Add to create a new task template. For more information, see Adding task templates.)
-
Configure the Task specific parameters. These parameters are defined after step 5 of this procedure.
-
Configure the Common task template parameters. For more information, see Task template parameters.
-
Click Save.
Task specific parameters:
Re-Processing Bill Items With Exception
Determines whether IEE attempts to re-process requests that had exceptions. Select True to configure the task to run periodically to attempt to re-process unassigned requests with exceptions. Select False to disable this feature.
AMI Billing Subsequent Processor Count
Determines whether the AMI Billing Calculation and Export tasks are automatically and immediately triggered by the task. Setting this parameter allows successful requests to process as quickly as possible. Requests raising exceptions during any step are set aside for a scheduled version of the task to re-process. The valid values are as follows.
-
0 (zero). Calculate only. Do not trigger any subsequent process.
-
1. On successful Rate Calculation completion, automatically trigger the billing export task after calculation.
Trigger Next Processor by Chunk
Determines how frequently subsequent processes are triggered. In general, this setting minimizes the number of billing determinant calculation tasks that are created. Select True to instruct the import process to automatically trigger the billing determinant calculation task after N requests are processed. N is calculated by IEE using the following formula: Billing Determinant Calculation Chunk Size / Import Chunk Size. If set to False, all requests in a single batch are processed by each step in succession.
