Profile data source

Profile data source overview

Profile data sources define the NMI See Relevant Rules or Procedures Datastreams from which a profile receives its profiling or Metering Data. Each data source contains a list of NMI Datastreams that make up the profile, along with its weighting (such as, the weighting each individual stream of data contributes to the total).

These are the interval Datastreams used by the profiling engine to calculate the profile shape and data for profiling a non-interval meter. This data could be; the half-hour data from actual interval meters; the half-hour data of a profile shape provided by a profile preparation service; or a combination of both.

Profile data source fields

Field	Description
Profile Data Source Name	Unique name given to a profile data source record
Sample Period Start Date	The date MSATS begins to collect interval meter data for the purposes of estimation and Settlement.
Sample Period End Date	The end-date MSATS stops collecting interval meter data for estimation and Settlement. If the data source is still in use for future dates, this is 31-Dec-9999.
NMI	The unique identifier for the profile data source record.
Suffix	The Datastream suffix for the identified NMI that contains the data that is a data source for the named profile.
Start Date	The date interval meter data associated with this NMI suffix was included in the data sources for this profile.
End Date	The date at which interval meter data associated with this NMI suffix ceased to be included in the data sources for this profile. If data is still included for this suffix, this is 31-Dec-9999.
Weight	Multiplication factor applied to the data for the identified suffix. NMI suffixes with a higher weight have higher importance in the calculation of a profile shape. Therefore, a weight of 0.99 greatly influences the profile where a weight of 0.02 does not.
