Channel selection tab
From the AMI Data Export task template Channel Selection tab, you can define which channels are exported.
This grid acts as a filter for the data you want to export. The grid may contain any combination of items. If the grid contains any items, then data must meet the criteria for at least one of these rows to be included in the export.
For example, if you click Add Row and select Register from the Channel Type dropdown list, IEE only exports register channel data. If you click Add Row, select Interval from the Channel Type dropdown list and select Received from the Power Flow dropdown list, IEE only exports interval data received by the utility. If you add two rows to the grid, one for register channel and one for interval channel, IEE exports both register channel data and interval channel data.
Select Linked Register Channels
Select this check box to export specific register channels that are linked to an interval channel. With this option checked, you can export specific register channels that are tied to the interval channels that meet the filter criteria. If this box is cleared, IEE is not able to export specific channels that are linked together. IEE can only export all register channels, the interval channel by itself, or all register and interval channels.
Add Row. To add a row to the grid, click AddRow. The new row appears at the bottom of the grid.
Remove Rows. To remove rows from the grid, click a row or use Ctrl-Click to select multiple rows. Click RemoveRows.
Include/Exclude
Select whether to include or exclude channels that match the criteria.
Channel Type
Determines the types of channels that IEE will monitor for status during the export. The valid values are Interval and Register. The default value is Interval.
Unit
Select a unit to filter channels for export. Possible values come from the Unit table. Selection is required. The default value is All.
Account Reason
Identifies the reason for the export. Select an Account Reason to filter channels for export. The valid values are as follows:
-
None

Billing
-
Load Research
-

The default value is All.
Caution: If your utility uses IEE business processes such as Peak Time Rebate (PTR) and AMI Billing Export (ABE), you must select at least one account service point channel with an account reason of Billing, where the Reason parameter appears in configuration user interfaces. Not having at least one service point channel account reason as Billing, can cause IEE business processes, such as ABE and PTR, to function in an unexpected manner.
