Premierplus4 CS export
The Premierplus4 Collection System Export task allows you to request readings data from IEE for export to an Integrator-compatible external system, using the Premierplus4 format.
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
Processing Chunk Size
Defines the number of configuration entities processed by sub-tasks. IEE groups the data that was processed by the task into separate batches of the size you designate here. IEE considers the task completed when all child tasks are finished, and each has reported back to the parent tasks.
Chunk size is a parameter common to several task templates. The higher the chunk size value, the greater the portion of the total available work each IEE task runner performs. A smaller value means dividing the work between more concurrent task runners.
Chunk sizes that are too large overburden a few task runners, while other task runners sit idle. In extreme cases, overly large chunk sizes could result in system failure due to lack of available, allocated memory. Chunk sizes that are too small spawn many task runners that perform more initialization and shutdown than actual work. Both large and small extremes will cause delays in export processing.
When fine tuning chunk sizes, consider database resources, hardware requirements, daily processing levels, and processing windows. Adjust values over time, as hardware and networking conditions change.
Use EBCDIC Files
Determines whether to use Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) for import or export task templates. EBCDIC is an 8-bit character encoding used on IBM mainframes and AS/400s. Select True to use EBCDIC files. Select False to exclude EBCDIC files.
External System
Defines any external system to which IEE configuration data can be associated. In many places this parameter provides you with the dropdown menu to select from the external systems configured in the External System table.
Log File
Defines the file path and filename where IEE creates transaction logs. In task templates, enter the path to the directory where you want the task to place transaction logs.
Export Directory
Defines the directory where IEE places the file containing exported data. Accept the IEE default file path or click Search to browse to a directory. This parameter supports the standard IEE macros. Reference as ($ExportDirectory) when configuring a task. Exported data is generated by an export task template or an export API.
Export File Name
Defines the export file name. You can enter a unique file name or accept the default. This parameter supports the standard IEE macros.
