The metering device within a smart meter is designed to accurately measure energy consumption by using digital technology. However, the sensors and measurement techniques you use depend on the type of energy you’re measuring. For electricity meters, sensors measure the voltage and current flowing through the electrical circuits.
On the title bar, select Administration and select Add user to grant access to the Metering dashboard to other users. Important: To ensure uninterrupted access to your Software AG Cloud account, assign the Account administrator role to at least one other user. To view the Metering dashboard, from the Navigation menu select IBM webMethods Metering.
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is an integrated, fixed-network system that enables two-way communication between utilities and customers. The system collects, stores, analyzes and presents energy usage data, providing utility companies the ability to monitor electricity, gas and water usage in real time.
IBM webMethods Metering collects data based on webMethods product usage, accumulates the data locally in cache files in the Software AG_directory \common\metering\storage directory for a period of one hour, and sends the aggregated values to the cloud server.
The IBM webMethods Metering Agent is preconfigured for optimal performance. Do not modify its configuration unless specifically asked by IBM.
Add a metering.runtime.alias Java system property For example, to configure a runtime alias for an Integration Server instance, add the following line in the custom_wrapper.conf file in the Software AG_directory \ IntegrationServer \ instances \ default \ configuration directory:
The metering admin can monitor data and add product licenses in the user interface, whereas the metering viewer can only monitor data. For more details on creating users, see Creating or Editing Internal User Repository Files.
