Configuration system settings

1. Go to System Administration > Sys Admin > System Settings.

2. From the Section dropdown menu, select Configuration.

3. Configure the following parameters:

• Advanced Configuration

  Show Formula Constants

  Determines whether to display the formula constants. Select True to enable or False to disable it.

• Configuration

  Configuration Fabricated Meter Status

  Defines the meter status. Select a meter status using the dropdown menu. The valid values are as follows.

  • Armed
  • Decommissioned
  • Disconnected
  • In Stock
  • Inactive
  • No Power
  • Sleeved

  IEE assigns the Configuration Fabricated Meter Status when IEE imports a program-based configuration that has the AllowPartialHistory flag set and the import has a gap in the meter versions. For example, if you imported a meter for January with a status of active, followed by a version for March with a status of active, IEE creates a meter version for February to fill the gap. The created meter has the status you specify in this setting.

  Configuration Processing Chunk Size

  Defines the number of configuration contracts passed to the database in each Program-Based Configuration import transaction. Setting a number that is too low increases the number of transactions with the database, decreasing performance. Setting a number too high may cause the application server to run out of memory.

  If a warning or error is logged against any of the contracts in the chunk, IEE reverts to processing the chunk one contract at a time to find the errant contract. This may cause a performance loss if IEE is configured to commit a 1000 contract chunk, one contract at a time.

  Generally, a value between 100 and 1000 provides the best throughput. The default value is 100.

  Configuration Progress Time Span

  Defines the number of minutes to wait before the configuration adapters log progress messages. This is useful for configuration import tasks that take a long time to run, because users can verify if the task is progressing or if the task has stalled. The default value is 10 minutes.

  Override PBC Import Date Time

  If this setting is set to True and either the meter or the service point's time zone has been specified in its import xml with no offset, the PBC configuration import's effective dates would default to the meter or service point's local time. If a time zone is not specified for the service point or meter or if this setting is set to False, the effective dates default to UTC time.

  Purge Readings to Allow Interval Length Changes

  Determines whether IEE purges or logically deletes any readings with estimated status to allow changes to interval lengths. For example, if you want to change an interval length and there are existing readings, this setting determines if the readings with estimated status are either automatically purged or logically deleted to allow the changes.

  When this setting is set to Off, interval length changes and meter swaps are not allowed when readings exist.

  When this setting is set to Permanently Delete, any readings that were estimated will be purged from the database to allow interval length changes.

  When set to Logical Delete, any readings that were estimated will be marked with DELETED status in the database to allow interval length changes.

  Single Customer

  Determines whether the configuration manager bypasses cascading customer node-link searches and validations. Bypassing can improve system performance. The default value is False. Select True to enable this feature.

• Query Results Display

  Determines whether the query results display the specified entity in the results windows of the general configuration query dialog. Select True to show the results or False to hide them.

  • Display Account Channel Number
