3.4 Data Model Manager

Data Model v5.5 introduces a new feature embedding the pdrLoader Software responsible for loading files to and from participant's local Data Interchange folders to the participant's DBMS. It can be installed in any environment supporting Java. mapping configuration as a resource within the Data Model package file. You require Data Model Manager v1.2 to apply this update, as earlier versions do not support this capability.

This enhancement allows the Data Model Manager to apply the configuration directly to the PDR_* tables as part of the upgrade process. It ensures environments not permanently connected to an AEMO system still receive the necessary updates, preventing missing configurations.

You must apply the pdrLoader mapping configuration manually using existing methodologies, if the PDR_* tables are not present or if your system is not connected to AEMO market systems.

Based on the pdrLoader mapping:

  • If the configuration is already loaded, the Data Model Manager skips this step.
  • If the configuration is partially loaded, the Data Model Manager fills in any missing data.
