Curtailment import

The Curtailment Import task template supports the import of file-based requests for the following:

  • Demand response rate events

  • Requests to manage demand response (rate) events and Managed Commercial and Industrial (C&I) events.

    Note: Management of an event does not include management of the participants or the participation criteria. Participation in rate-based events is determined by program enrollment via the assigned rate and by a sufficient number of Like Days for those programs that use a baseline.

Use the following procedure to configure a task template:

  1. Go to System Operations > Task Management > Task Templates.

  2. 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.)

  3. Configure the Task specific parameters. These parameters are defined after step 5 of this procedure.

  4. Configure the Common task template parameters. For more information, see Task template parameters.

  5. Click Save.

Task specific parameters:

ClosedImport Directory

Defines the folder that IEE monitors for incoming files. IEE automatically schedules files that arrive in this directory for import. You define the paths to default import directories in the IEE System Administration workbench. When configuring the import directory parameter in an import task template, enter the file path to the directory that IEE monitors for import files specific to this task. This parameter supports standard IEE macros. Reference as ($ImportDirectory) when configuring a task.

ClosedFile Mask

Defines a file extension or a partial file name that IEE uses to monitor import directories and create export files. Enter a file mask such as .xml when configuring an import or export task template. When a file arrives in the import directory, IEE automatically schedules the file for import if it matches the mask. IEE ignores files that do not match the file mask. When creating an export file, IEE appends this mask to the file name.

ClosedOwner of Import Tasks

Defines the user ID associated with a task. By default, this field populates with the user currently logged into IEE.
