AMI data export

The AMI Data Export (ADE) process exports large volumes of data in a fast, proficient manner. ADE hosts a separate Export Dispatcher application service, task templates that can be used to run the export, a graphical user interface (GUI) for monitoring and working with exports, and an ADE Trend Report user interface to view summary information about the export.

Note: You must have the necessary security role permissions to enable AMI Data Export and AMI Data Export Trend from the AMI workbench. For more information, see User role permissions: Descriptions.

The IEE ADE has the following capabilities:

• Ability to handle high-volume exports.

• Flexibility in receiving requests. Requests for export can be received through operator action from the user interface, a web service call, or a manual file drop into the ADE import directory.

• Flexible parameters for export. Data-driven exports, incremental exports, or exports set for a specific time-period, exports set up on a schedule, and configured for partial export or force complete.

• Ability to export register boundary reads, export data from formula channels, specify the channels to export data, and control the output data with regard to interval length, unit, scaling, and rounding.

• Ability to export interval and register data with or without corresponding events.

• Ability to export register data only or linked register/interval data only.

• Ability to export different types of readings into separate files: events in a separate file from register and interval reads, register reads in a separate file from interval reads.

• Ability to export data based on validation status.

• Ability to export both Program-Based Configurations and Advanced Configurations.

• Improved XML format lends to improved XML export performance.

• Handles file-based and web service requests with a separate ADE API.

• Holds export until all data in the request is available for export. A force complete action is available after a certain time period.
