1 Introduction
This document is the Operations Guide for the Estimation of Annual
Consumption / Annualised Advance (EAC/AA) application software
developed for ELEXON.
Software Version
This version of the EAC/AA Operations Guide is applicable to Release
10.0.011.0.0 and later of the EAC/AA application software.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this Operations Guide is to provide information on the
features of the EAC/AA application software that will support the day-to-
day operational business of organisations responsible for handling
Estimations of Annual Consumption and Annualised Advances.
Estimations of Annual Consumption (EACs), derived for each Metering
System, are weather normalised estimates of annual consumption over a
calendar year.
Annualised Advances (AAs), also derived for each Metering System, are
calculated for a Meter Advance Period (period between successive meter
readings), and when profiled, produce a total consumption figure equal to
the meter advance.
1.2 Scope
The scope of this document covers the operational aspects of the EAC/AA
application software, encompassing the functionality of the software that is
available to the four EAC/AA Operational Roles, namely:
System Operator;
Operations Supervisor;
System Manager;
EAC/AA Auditor.
The EAC/AA functionality to which each user role has access is shown in
terms of the user interface menus in section 4.2.2. Details of this
functionality are described in the sections that follow.
Detail pertaining to hardware and third party software products is included
only where necessary to support the description of the EAC/AA application
software.
It is assumed that all users of the system have received some basic training
in the use of the following:
PCs;
Windows;
Oracle Forms.
For system management aspects of the environment in which the EAC/AA
application software will operate, refer to the EAC/AA System Management
Guide.

2 System Overview
This document is the Operations Guide for the Estimation of Annual
Consumption / Annualised Advance (EAC/AA) application software
developed for ELEXON.
The main functions of the EAC/AA application software are as follows:
Generate Estimated Annual Consumptions (EACs), based on Meter
Advances, Daily Profile Coefficients and previous estimates;
Generate Deemed Meter Advances (DMAs), based on Estimated
Annual Consumptions and Daily Profile Coefficients;
Generate Deemed Meter Readings, based on Meter Readings and
Daily Profile Coefficients;
Load Daily Profile Coefficients for different Settlement Dates to
support the functionality described above;
Ensure appropriate data is stored in order to view the details of any
calculations;
Maintain configuration data in the database;
To provide reports on data associated with EAC/AA.
Calculation of EAC/AA requires Daily Profile Coefficient data, with Meter
Advances (difference between successive meter readings) for the
Annualised Advance calculation and previous or initial EAC for the
Forward EAC calculation. The output from this calculation is the
Annualised Advance and the Forward EAC. The data required for the
process is supplied as files with the resulting calculated data output as a file.
The Deemed Meter Advance calculation is similarly supplied with data in a
file and the resulting advance made available as an output file.
Thus, for both EAC/AA calculation functions, files are received from
external sources, some processing is performed and outputs are delivered as
files. However, neither the inputs nor the outputs to these calculations are
stored in the database. The principal data stored in the EAC/AA database
are the Daily Profile Coefficients.
EAC/AA may be installed in Manual or Automatic Mode. In Automatic
Mode the calculation of Estimated Annual Consumptions, Deemed Meter
Advances and the Load of Daily Profile Coefficients all happen
automatically as soon as the system receives the files, whereas in Manual
Mode the user determines when these three functions are processed.
There is also an Ad Hoc Deemed Meter Reading Calculation for which the
user enters the input data on the screen, and the calculated data is output on
the screen. The inputs and the outputs of this calculation are stored in the
database.
The main components of the application software, which support this
functionality, are as follows:
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 13 of 95
2.1 File Receipt
A separate process is used to read in files as they arrive from outside the
system. This process checks that the file headers and footers are not corrupt
and stores information about the files in the database.
The files copied into the E_files_in directory must have read and write
permissions for the EAC user.
2.2 User Interface
The user interface is used to initiate the main processes, to maintain or view
the data in the database and to generate reports on the database.
2.3 Scheduler
This process is used to manage the execution of calculations and the
production of reports, initiated from the User Interface. Accordingly, when
a user performs a calculation, the details of the job are stored in the database
whereupon the Scheduler reads the details and initiates the required
processing.
2.4 Database
This stores Daily Profile Coefficients, Configuration data and details of
what files have been read by the system.
2.5 External Interfaces

Note that the numbering of the interfaces is for identification purposes only,
and does not imply any ordering of data transfer. The interfaces are
described below:
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 14 of 95
1. The Daily Profile Coefficients are transferred to the EAC/AA system
via a file interface. The Daily Profile Coefficient files are supplied by
the ISR Agent and the actual load process is initiated by the user, if in
Manual Mode, via the user interface. In Automatic Mode the actual
load process is initiated automatically as soon as the presence of such
a file is detected. Each file contains a set of Daily Profile Coefficients
for one or more GSP Groups for a given Settlement Date. Each set
comprises a Daily Profile Coefficient for each valid combination of
Standard Settlement Configuration, Time Pattern Regime and Profile
Class. See section 5 for information on loading Daily Profile
Coefficients and section 12 and section 13 for viewing related data.
2. The EAC/AA calculation Request Files are transferred to the
EAC/AA system via a file interface. These files are supplied by the
Non-HH Data Collector. The actual calculation process is initiated, if
in Manual Mode, via the user interface. In Automatic Mode the actual
calculation process is initiated automatically as soon as the presence
of such a file is detected.
3. The results of the EAC/AA calculations are accessed by the Non-HH
Data Collector via the file interface.
4. The Smoothing Parameter data originating from the Non-HH Data
Collector is maintained by the EAC/AA users via the user interface.
Refer to section 11 for further information.
5. The Deemed Meter Advance calculation Request Files are accessed
by the EAC/AA system via a file interface. These files are supplied by
the Non-HH Data Collector. Calculation of Deemed Meter Advance
is initiated by the user, if in Manual Mode, via the user interface. In
Automatic Mode the actual calculation process is initiated
automatically as soon as the presence of such a file is detected. See
section 7 which describes how to perform this operation.
6. The results of the Deemed Meter Advance calculations are passed to
the Non-HH Data Collector via the file interface.
7. The Standard Settlement Configurations and Average Fractions of
Yearly Consumption are transferred to the EAC/AA system via a file
interface. In Automatic Mode, the Standard Settlement Configuration
files are supplied by ELEXON and the actual load process is initiated
automatically as soon as presence of such a file is detected. If the
identifier of any Standard Settlement Configuration file already exists
in the database and the description is different, then an exception
report is generated, (see Appendix .1B.10 for an example), and the
data is not loaded into the database. Similarly if there are any
validation errors in Average Fractions of Yearly Consumption data
they are included in the exception report and the data is not loaded
into the database.
8. Requests an Ad Hoc Deemed Meter Reading are sent manually from a
Supplier to the Non-HH Data Collector and are then entered into the
EAC/AA system by the users via the user interface form for Ad Hoc
DMR Calculation. EAC/AA uses the data entered via the user

interface to perform the calculations required and return the result to
the user.
9. The GSP Group Profile Class Default EAC data is browsed by the
EAC/AA users via the user interface. Refer to section 11 for further
information. The underlying table for the GSP Group Profile Class
Default EAC screen is loaded from a script supplied by ELEXON.

3 Operational Schedule
This section provides guidelines on the scheduling of tasks that need to be
performed using functionality provided by the EAC/AA application
software.
Note that it is the responsibility of the organisation running the EAC/AA
system to devise its own schedule, taking into account the operational
environment.
The following notes numbered 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and 3.2.1 do not apply to
Automatic Mode since all these tasks occur automatically as the files arrive.
The data collector systems outside of EAC/AA can determine when the files
arrive.
3.1 Daily Tasks
1. Daily Profile Coefficients are received on a daily basis from the ISR
Agent, a number of days in arrears of the Settlement Date to which
they relate.
Daily Profile Coefficient files are normally loaded individually.
However, occasionally it may be necessary to load a greater number
of Daily Profile Coefficients, in order to support the Data Collector
being appointed to Metering Systems in a new GSP Group. The time
taken to perform this task will inevitably depend on the number of
files being loaded.
In addition, the Standard Settlement Configurations for which Daily
Profile Coefficients are loaded can be specified via the user interface,
thus reducing load time.
Occasionally, revised Daily Profile Coefficient files may need to be
loaded.
2. Calculation of Annualised Advances and Estimations of Annual
Consumption is performed on a daily basis.
If Daily Profile Coefficients are not available for any combination of
GSP Group, Profile Class, Standard Settlement Configuration and
Time Pattern Regime on any Settlement Date within the Meter
Advance Period, then Meter Advances are not calculated for any
Settlement Registers of that Metering System. The reason for not
calculating EAC/AA for a particular Metering System is contained in
the EAC/AA Control Report. It is therefore advisable that you check
which Daily Profile Coefficients have been loaded into the system
prior to calculating EAC/AA, and perform the load operation prior to
EAC/AA calculation if necessary. This can be done using the Process
Data Files form.
3.2 Ad Hoc Tasks
1. Deemed Meter Advances (DMAs) are required on an ad Hoc basis,
when an actual changeover reading cannot be obtained or agreed, on
change of Supplier for a Metering System.
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 17 of 95
If Daily Profile Coefficients are not available for any combination of
GSP Group, Profile Class, Standard Settlement Configuration and
Time Pattern Regime on any Settlement Date within the Meter
Advance Period, then Deemed Meter Advances are not calculated and
an exception report is generated. It is therefore advisable that you
check which Daily Profile Coefficients have been loaded into the
system prior to determining DMA, and perform the load operation
prior to DMA calculation if necessary. This can be done using the
Process Data Files form.
2. Deemed Meter Readings (DMRs) are required on an ad hoc basis
from time to time where the code allows for a DMR but the NHHDC
system is not able to initiate the calculation.
The Ad Hoc DMR Calculation form allows for a DMR to be
calculated for a specified date, for a metering system from a pair of
meter readings and the meter SSC, GSP Group, Profile Class and TPR
details.
3. Other tasks, such as maintenance of data, and reporting on data,
should be scheduled to avoid conflict with loading and calculation
tasks. Calculations of EACs and DMA take a snapshot of the
database at the beginning of calculations to maintain a consistent view
of the database until the calculations are complete.
The EAC/AA system handles conflicts in the following ways:
if Daily Profile Coefficients are being loaded, attempts to
archive data from the database via the Archive Daily Profile
Coefficients form will fail;
if data is being archived from the database, and the user attempts
to load Daily Profile Coefficients, the Load Daily Profile
Coefficient process will wait until the archiving has completed.

4 Getting Started
This section provides an introduction to the facilities for logging on to the
system; provides an overview of the user interface; outlines help and error
reporting functionality.
4.1 Logging On
Logging on to the EAC/AA system is controlled by the standard Oracle
User name and Password validation. This mechanism ensures that you are a
valid EAC/AA user. For further information about user names and
passwords, consult your System Manager.
Access to EAC/AA functions is controlled by the allocation of EAC/AA
user roles to users. You can only access a function if you have the
appropriate authority. See section 4.2.2 which includes a table showing
which menus and functions each EAC/AA User Role has access to.
4.2 User Interface Overview
This section gives an overview of the menus and toolbars to which users of
the EAC/AA system have access.
The User Interface has been developed using Oracle Forms. A form is a
window and its behaviour is similar to that of other Windows applications,
such as File Manager and Microsoft Mail. Some of the tasks that can be
performed by the user within the forms are specific to Oracle Forms. The
main features of the user interface are described in this document. For
further information about using Oracle Forms, refer to the Oracle Forms
Documentation Set.
The User Interface includes a toolbar, described in section 4.2.1, which
provides access to commonly used functions for navigating within the
forms, restricting data displayed on the forms (executing queries), editing
data and accessing on-line help. Above the toolbar is a set of menus. The
menus give access to the functionality provided by the toolbar, other
standard functionality provided by Oracle forms and also to EAC/AA-
specific functions. The menus are described in section 4.2.2. Function keys
that are defined with Oracle Forms can also be used to access the toolbar
and menu functions.
When entering a date in any of the date input fields, the date should be in
the DD/MM/RRRR format where ‘/’ is the delimiter. The delimiter entered
can be any character as long as it is not an alphabet. For example, the
following formats are valid
01-01-2004
01*1 2004
01-jan-2004
01=jan/2004

4.2.1 Toolbar
The toolbar, shown in the figure below, provides some of the functionality
for EAC/AA forms. Most forms display a subset of the toolbar buttons.
The table following the figure gives a brief description of the buttons on the
toolbar.

Exit Return to the top level of the Application.
4.2.2 Menus
Menus are also displayed on the initial form and on the subsequent forms,
beneath the Title bar (see Figures 4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.5). The menu items to
which you have access depend on the EAC/AA user role to which you have
been allocated by the System Manager and with which you have logged on.
If you do not have access to a particular menu item it will be greyed out.

4.4 Status and Exception Reporting
The EAC/AA system provides several mechanisms for reporting of status
and errors:
control report, providing information on the following batch
processes:
loading of Daily Profile Coefficients (see section 5 for further
information);
calculation of Deemed Meter Advances (see section 7 for further
information);
calculation of Estimations of Annual Consumption and
Annualised Advances (see section 6 for further information).
Examples of these control reports are given in Appendix B.
exception report, reporting on exceptions generated during:
loading of Daily Profile Coefficients (see section 5 for further
information);
calculation of Deemed Meter Advances (see section 7 for further
information);
calculation of Estimations of Annual Consumption and
Annualised Advances (see section 6 for further information);
loading of Standard Settlement Configurations.
Examples of these exception reports are given in Appendix B.
application error messages, displayed via the user interface, in
message boxes and at the bottom of forms. These error messages
are listed in Appendix A;
audit log, which logs changes via the Smoothing Parameter form,
GSP Group Profile Class Default EAC form and the Maintain User
form;
job log, which details batch jobs that are handled by the Scheduler;
file receipt manager log, which logs files that are received by the
EAC/AA system;

5 Load Daily Profiles
The following sections up to section 5.3 are written to describe the operation
of the system in Manual Mode. These sections contain some information
relevant to both Manual Mode and Automatic Mode. Section 5.4 describes
what is different in Automatic Mode.
This form allows you to load into the EAC/AA system one or more Daily
Profile Coefficient files that have been received from the ISR Agent/s.
Figure 5.1: The Process Data Files Form
When the form is loaded, each row of the table displays one of the following
unprocessed files:
Daily Profile Coefficient;
EAC/AA Request;
Deemed Meter Advance Request.
These files have been received by the EAC/AA system, but have not been
loaded into the appropriate file store. You can filter the files against the
field content using standard Oracle query functionality.
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 27 of 95
Additionally, to filter the display by file type, select one of the following
relevant option buttons and execute a query:
All File Types, to display all file types;
EAC Files, to display only EAC/AA Request files (these are not
applicable for this function);
DMA Files, to display only Deemed Meter Advance files (these are
not applicable for this function);
DPC Files, to display only Daily Profile Coefficient files.
Daily Profile Coefficient files displayed on this form cannot be updated or
deleted and new files cannot be inserted directly.
In principle, there are two categories of Daily Profile Coefficient files:
Type 1 contains data for one or more GSP Groups in which a Non-
Half Hourly Data Collector was known to be operating, by the ISR
Agent concerned, when it sent the Daily Profile Coefficient file to
the EAC/AA system.
Note that by the time a Type 1 file is received by the EAC/AA system,
it is possible that the Non-Half Hourly Data Collector may have
started operating in a further GSP Group. In such circumstances, the
file is not operationally a Type 1, because Daily Profile Coefficient
data is not contained in the file for the new GSP Group. Under such
conditions, the ISR Agent will send a Type 2 file, (see next bullet), for
the new GSP Group.
A Type 1 file may be a revised file sent by the ISR Agent if an error is
detected in the original file.
For Type 1 Daily Profile Coefficient files, the GSP Group field on the
form is blank.
Type 2 always contains data for a single GSP Group in which a
Non-Half Hourly Data Collector operates. A Type 2 file is only
sent if a Non-Half Hourly Data Collector, which already operates
in one or more GSP Groups, starts operating in a new GSP Group,
and so data will not have been received for that GSP Group in
previous Type 1 files.
Type 2 Daily Profile Coefficient Files always have a value in the GSP
Group field.
The following example illustrates the rationale for these file types:
1. The ISR Agent does run number 777 for all GSP Groups, and sends a
Daily Profile Coefficient file Type 1 to the Non-Half Hourly Data
Collector via the EAC/AA system interface. The file contains DPC
data for the GSP Groups in which the Data Collector operates, say
GW, GX, GY;
2. The ISR Agent performs a second run, with amended data for GSP
Group GY. The ISR Agent sends another Type 1 Daily Profile
Coefficient file to the Data Collector; this file contains the same data
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 28 of 95
for GSP Groups GW and GX as in the first Type 1 file, but with
revised data for GSP Group GY. The run number is different to that
of the first run;
3. After the ISR Agent sends the revised Type 1 file, the Data Collector
begins operating in another GSP Group, GZ. The ISR Agent
subsequently performs another run, and sends to the Data Collector a
Type 2 Daily Profile Coefficient file, with data only for the new GSP
Group, GZ. The run number is the same as that of the first run.
You can load one Daily Profile Coefficient file (this will be the usual case),
or all Daily Profile Coefficient files.
Loading Individual Daily Profile Coefficient Files
The Daily Profile Coefficient files must be loaded in ascending
Settlement Date order for a given originating ISR Agent, ie. there
must be at least one Daily Profile Coefficient file from this ISR Agent
already loaded for the previous Settlement Date. There are three
exceptions to this:
if the Daily Profile Coefficient file is the first to be received;
if there is already a Daily Profile Coefficient file loaded for the
same Settlement Date, implying a revised Daily Profile
Coefficient file.
if the ISR agent is loading data for the first time from any
participant.
Each Daily Profile Coefficient file must also be loaded in correct run
number sequence for the same originating ISR Agent and Type (1 or
2), (the run numbers are shown on the form). For Type 1 files, there
cannot be any Type 1 files already loaded for the same Settlement
Date with a higher run number. Additionally, the system rejects files
containing DPCs for Scottish GSP Groups for Settlement Dates before
the BETTA Start Date unless the files are from the Scottish ISR
Agent. It also rejects files containing DPCs for Settlement Dates on
or after the BETTA Start Date if the files are from the Scottish ISR
Agent. Appropriate error messages are written to the Exception
Report file if these checks fail. For Type 2 files, there cannot be any
Type 2 files already loaded for the same Settlement Date and same
GSP Group with a higher run number.
These rules ensure that files are loaded in Settlement Date order, and
that when revised files are received, older files do not overwrite more
up-to-date versions.
Loading Multiple Daily Profile Coefficient Files
The system attempts to load the Daily Profile Coefficient files in
ascending Settlement Date order for each originating ISR Agent.
If there are multiple files for the same Settlement Date, and there is
one or more Type 1 files, then the system attempts to load the Type 1
file with the highest run number first. The system then attempts, for
each GSP Group Id, to load the Type 2 file that has the highest run
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 29 of 95
number. Upon completion of the loading process, if there are any
Type 1 or Type 2 files that have not been processed because they did
not have the highest run number (within a GSP Group for Type 2
files), they are marked as being processed to avoid being displayed
again via the Process Data Files form, and via the Identify Input Files
form, and remain in the File Store directory.
By default, Daily Profile Coefficients are loaded for all effective Standard
Settlement Configurations. If you do not wish to load Daily Profile
Coefficient files for particular values of Standard Settlement Configurations,
you can use the Specify Standard Settlement Configuration form prior to
performing the load. See section 9 for further information. Note that Daily
Profile Coefficients for which Standard Settlement Configurations have not
been set up in the EAC/AA database are, by default, loaded when you
initiate the Load Daily Profile Coefficient process via the Process Data Files
form.
5.1 Load a Selected Daily Profile Coefficient
1. Select a record from the table;
2. Click on the Process button.
If the Daily Profile Coefficient file is a Type 1 file:
data contained in such a file replaces and invalidates any previous
data with the same Settlement Date and Market Participant Id;
the number of Annualised Advances already calculated from the set
of Daily Profile Coefficients being replaced, is displayed in the
Load Daily Profile Coefficient Control Report, (see Appendix
.1B.8 for an example);
the file is rejected if:
a) its run number is not the highest sequence number of available
type 1 files, and is left in the File Store directory, but marked as
processed.
b) it contains data for Scottish GSP Groups for a Settlement Date
prior to the BETTA Start Date, and has been sent by an agent
other than the Scottish IAR Agent.
c) it contains data for a Settlement Date on or after the BETTA
Start Date, and has been sent by the Scottish IAR Agent.
If the Daily Profile Coefficient file is a Type 2 file:
data contained in such a file does not replace or invalidate any
previous data stored against the same GSP Group and Settlement
Date;
if no data exists in the database for the GSP Group and Settlement
Date, the Daily Profile Coefficients are appended to the existing set
of data for the Settlement Date; otherwise the Daily Profile
Coefficient file is not processed and an exception report is
generated (Appendix .2B.9 includes an example of this report);
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 30 of 95
the file is rejected if:
a) its run number is not the highest sequence number of available
type 2 files, or another type 2 file for the same GSP Group and
Settlement Date already exists. The file remains in the File
Store directory, but is marked as processed.
b) it contains data for Scottish GSP Groups for a Settlement Date
prior to the BETTA Start Date, and has been sent by an agent
other than the Scottish IAR Agent.
c) it contains data for a Settlement Date on or after the BETTA
Start Date, and has been sent by the Scottish IAR Agent.
For Type 1 and Type 2 files:
if the Daily Profile Coefficient file is not found, processing is
aborted, and an exception report is produced;
if a Daily Profile Coefficient file fail to load, an exception report is
generated:
if the file fails to load because there is no data for the previous
Settlement Date, an exception report is generated with an
appropriate error message, (see Appendix A); the file’s status is
reset to null so that it can be re-loaded once the previous
Settlement Date’s data has been successfully loaded;
if the file fails to load because a file for the same Settlement
Date and a higher run number (and GSP Group for type 2 files)
has already been loaded, an exception report is generated with
an appropriate error message, (see Appendix A); the file’s status
is set to Failed;
if the file originates from the SVA Agent for a Settlement Date
prior to BETTA and contains coefficients for Scottish GSP
groups, an exception report is generated with an appropriate
error message, (see Appendix A); the file’s status is set to
Failed;
if the file originates from the IAR Agent, for a Settlement Date
on or after BETTA, an exception report is generated with an
appropriate error message, (see Appendix A); the file’s status is
set to Failed;
a Daily Profile Coefficient Control Report is produced, showing a
count of the number of Daily Profile Coefficients loaded. See
Appendix .1B.8 for an example of this report;
any negative Daily Profile Coefficients are reported in a Control
Report.
5.2 Load all Daily Profile Coefficients
1. Click on the Process All DPC button.
If the Daily Profile Coefficient file is a Type 1 file:
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 31 of 95
data contained in such a file replaces and invalidates any previous
data with the same Settlement Date and Market Participant Id;
the number of Annualised Advances already calculated from the set
of Daily Profile Coefficients being replaced, is displayed in the
Load Daily Profile Coefficient Control Report, (see Appendix
.1B.8 for an example);
the file is rejected if:
a) its run number is not the highest sequence number of available
type 1 files for a given originating ISR Agent. The file remains
in the File Store directory, but is marked as processed.
b) it contains data for Scottish GSP Groups for a Settlement Date
prior to the BETTA Start Date, and has been sent by an agent
other than the Scottish IAR Agent.
c) it contains data for a Settlement Date on or after the BETTA
Start Date, and has been sent by the Scottish IAR Agent.
If the Daily Profile Coefficient file is a Type 2 file:
data contained in such a file does not replace or invalidate any
previous data stored against the same GSP Group and Settlement
Date;
if no data exists in the database for the GSP Group and Settlement
Date, the Daily Profile Coefficients are appended to the existing set
of data for the Settlement Date; otherwise the Daily Profile
Coefficient file is not processed and an exception report is
generated (Appendix .2B.9 includes an example of this report);
the file is rejected if:
a) its run number is not the highest sequence number of available
type 2 files. The file remains in the File Store directory, but is
marked as processed.
b) it contains data for Scottish GSP Groups for a Settlement Date
prior to the BETTA Start Date, and has been sent by an agent
other than the Scottish IAR Agent.
c) it contains data for a Settlement Date on or after the BETTA
Start Date, and has been sent by the Scottish IAR Agent.
For Type 1 and Type 2 files:
if the Daily Profile Coefficient file is not found, processing is
aborted, and an exception report is produced;
if any Daily Profile Coefficient files fail to load, an exception
report is generated:
if a file fails to load because there is no data for the previous
Settlement Date, an exception report is generated with an
appropriate error message, (see Appendix A); the file’s status
remains unchanged so that it can be re-loaded once the previous
Settlement Date’s data has been successfully loaded;
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 32 of 95
if a file fails to load because a file for the same Settlement Date
and a higher run number (and GSP Group for type 2 files) has
already been loaded, an exception report is generated with an
appropriate error message, (see Appendix A); the file’s status is
set to Failed. The status of subsequent files is set to null, so that
once the problem with the failed file has been resolved, the later
files can be re-loaded, (this occurs regardless of the reason for
the failure of the file);
if the file originates from the SVA Agent for a Settlement Date
prior to BETTA and contains coefficients for Scottish GSP
groups, an exception report is generated with an appropriate
error message, (see Appendix A); the file’s status is set to
Failed. The status of subsequent files is set to null, so that once
the problem with the failed file has been resolved, the later files
can be re-loaded, (this occurs regardless of the reason for the
failure of the file);
if the file originates from the IAR Agent, for a Settlement Date
on or after BETTA, an exception report is generated with an
appropriate error message, (see Appendix A); the file’s status is
set to Failed. The status of subsequent files is set to null, so that
once the problem with the failed file has been resolved, the later
files can be re-loaded, (this occurs regardless of the reason for
the failure of the file);
a Daily Profile Coefficient Control Report is produced, showing a
count of the number of Daily Profile Coefficients loaded. See
Appendix .1B.8 for an example of this report;
if one Daily Profile Coefficient file fails to load, no further files are
loaded;
any negative Daily Profile Coefficients are reported in a Control
Report.

5.4 Differences in Automatic Mode
In Automatic Mode, there is no Process Data Files Form but control and
exception reports are still produced, and the information about Type 1 files,
Type 2 files and the order of loading still applies.
In Automatic Mode, files are usually processed one at a time, as they arrive,
unless they cannot be processed, because a settlement date is missing. For
example, if the data is already in the database for 1st September 1998 and
then files arrive for subsequent dates in this order:
04/09/98
03/09/98
02/09/98
then the file for 03/09/98 and 04/09/98 will not be loaded until the file for
02/09/98 has arrived. The control report for 04/09/98 will report that the file
was not loaded. The control report for 03/09/98 will report that the 03/09/98
file was not loaded. The control report for 02/09/98 will report the loading
of all three files.

6 Calculate EAC/AA
The following sections up to section 6.2 are written to describe the operation
of the system in Manual Mode. These sections contain some information
relevant to both Manual Mode and Automatic Mode. Section 6.3 describes
what is different in Automatic Mode.
This form enables you to initiate the calculation of Annualised Advances
(AAs) and Estimated Annual Consumptions (EACs) for a file of Meter
Advances that has been received from a Non-Half Hourly Data Collector.
In automatic mode there are control and exception reports.
Figure 6.1: The Process Data Files Form
When the form is loaded, each row of the table displays one of the following
unprocessed files:
Daily Profile Coefficient;
EAC/AA Request;
Deemed Meter Advance Request.
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 35 of 95
These files have been received by the EAC/AA system, but have not been
loaded into the appropriate file store. You can filter the files against the
field content using standard Oracle query functionality.
Additionally, to filter the display by file type, select one of the following
option buttons and execute a query:
All File Types, to display all file types;
EAC Files, to display only EAC/AA Request files;
DMA Files, to display only Deemed Meter Advance files (these are
not applicable for this function);
DPC Files, to display only Daily Profile Coefficient files (these are
not applicable for this function).
6.1 Initiate Calculation of EAC/AA
1. Select an EAC/AA Request file from the table;
2. Click on the Process button.
For any non-fatal errors an error message is raised in the control file and the
next Metering System in the data file is processed. The whole data file is
only rejected if a fatal error is encountered.
If the calculation completes successfully, the output file is created in the
Output file store.
A machine-readable exception file is created in the Machine-readable
reports store (even if there are no exceptions). It contains details of any
exceptions.
A machine-readable EAC/AA Tolerance Values exception report is created
in the Machine-readable reports store (even if no Annualised Advances are
outside the tolerance values). It contains details of any Annualised
Advances that are outside the tolerance values for the Profile Class and GSP
Group.
If there has been a change of Profile Class for the Metering System during
the Meter Advance Period, an Annualised Advance only is calculated.
If the EAC/AA Request File is not found, then this is recorded in the
exception report.
The number of Annualised Advances calculated for the Daily Profile
Coefficients is incremented and is shown in the control report.
A human-readable control report provides the following information (see
Appendix .1B.3 for an example):
all negative values of Meter Advances, AA and Daily Profile
Coefficients;
the Meter Advance read from the file is non-zero and Fraction of
Yearly Consumption is calculated to be zero (in this case the value
of the AA is recorded as zero).
The following information is provided in the control report and in the
exception report :
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 36 of 95
no Daily Profile Coefficients matching the details in the file could
be found;
a Daily Profile Coefficient file, with Settlement Date matching the
Meter Advance Period, cannot be found;
all unprocessed Metering Systems with an Advance Period greater
than 2 years.
the total number of Metering Systems for which a negative EAC
has been replaced by the default EAC.
The following information is provided in the control report and in the
EAC/AA Tolerance Values exception report :
all Annualised Advances that are outside the tolerance values for
the metering system’s Profile Class and GSP Group.
When the user displays or prints the exception report for the first time, the
system generates a human-readable exception report from the machine-
readable exception report. The control report is produced in human-
readable format in the first place. See Appendix .1B.3, Appendix .2B.4
and Appendix .3B.5 for examples of the control report, the human-readable
exception report and the human-readable EAC/AA Tolerance Values
exception report.

7 Determine Deemed Meter Advance
The following sections up to section 7.2 are written to describe the operation
of the system in Manual Mode. These sections contain some information
relevant to both Manual Mode and Automatic Mode. Section 7.3 describes
what is different in Automatic Mode.
This form enables you to calculate Deemed Meter Advance based on data
received from a Non-Half Hourly Data Collector, in the event of a change of
Supplier for a Metering System, where the existing Supplier and new
Supplier cannot agree a changeover meter reading.

Where the second meter reading is less than the first meter reading, a
register rollover is assumed. The Rollover checkbox will automatically
check itself when this situation arises. Note that in order to achieve a
genuine negative advance it will be necessary to uncheck the rollover box
after entering the values for readings one and two.
Metering Systems with non-standard “multiplier”.
Metering systems which have a "multiplier" with a value other than 1 are
those where the registers measure in some other unit instead of

14 Archive Daily Profile Coefficients and Smoothing Parameters
The form below can be used to archive to tape all Daily Profile Coefficients
and superseded Smoothing Parameters up to a specified Settlement Date.
It is envisaged that Daily Profile Coefficients and superseded Smoothing
Parameters will be archived approximately 25 months after the latest
settlement date.
The volume of data to be archived is expected to be approximately 1.08
Gigabytes. Thus, you should ensure that the tape media has sufficient
capacity to store the archived data.
Figure 13.1 The Archive Daily Profile Coefficients Form
1. Enter Settlement Date To, the date up to which Daily Profile
Coefficients and Smoothing Parameters will be archived;
2. Click on the Archive button to schedule the archive.
If no Daily Profile Coefficients or Smoothing Parameters are found prior to
the date entered, you are prompted to enter another date.
If the date entered is less than two years prior to the latest settlement date, a
warning is displayed, but you can continue the operation.
If valid Daily Profile Coefficient and Smoothing Parameter data is found,
you are prompted to insert a tape into the tape drive. The data to be
archived to tape is written in a report format ready for archive to the tape.
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 57 of 95
The report is placed in the Archive Store directory prior to transfer to tape
storage and deletion of data from the database.
Once the archive process has been initiated via the form, details are passed
to the scheduler. When the scheduler starts up the process, the Daily Profile
Coefficients, Smoothing Parameters and Data Files database tables are
locked, until the process is complete.
A maximum of three attempts are made to write the report to the tape.
If a failure is encountered at any stage of the archive process prior to
deletion of the archived data from the database, then the process terminates
and the archive report is deleted. A message is inserted in the job log.
If the data is successfully written to the tape, the report is deleted from the
Archive Store directory, and the database records that have been archived
are deleted.
Note that the details of the tape to which Daily Profile Coefficients are
archived is not maintained by the EAC/AA system. Procedures should be
put in place to ensure that the media is appropriately labelled.
A rewind or non-rewind tape device can be used to perform this operation.
If a non-rewind device is used, the tape must be rewound using operating
system commands prior to restoring the data in report format using the
Report on Archived Data form. If a rewind device is used, previously
archived files will be overwritten if multiple archives are performed to the
same tape.

18 Reports
The reports that can be generated by the EAC/AA system fall into two
categories:
User initiated;
Automatically generated.
An example of each report is given in Appendix B.
18.1 User Initiated Reports
User initiated reports, listed below, can be generated on an ad hoc basis by
authorised EAC/AA users, for a set of parameters specified by the user:
Report on Profile Coefficients;
Report on Archived Data.
DMR Audit Report
The Report on Profile Coefficients is described in section 12. This report is
created in the Report file store, the physical location of which is dependent
on system installation and configuration. Refer to the EAC/AA System
Management Guide for guidance on locating and viewing these reports.
The Report on Archived Data is described in section 15. This report is
created in the Report file store, the physical location of which is dependent
on system installation and configuration. Refer to the EAC/AA System
Management Guide for guidance on locating and viewing these reports.
The Report on Archived Data is complete when the End of Report text is
displayed on the last page of the report, (refer to Appendix .2B.2 for an
example). The file name format for the Report on Archived Data is:
R<role><participant_id><settlement date>
The DMR Audit report is described in section 8.2. This report is created in
the Report file store, the physical location of which is dependent on system
installation and configuration. Refer to the EAC/AA System Management
Guide for guidance on locating and viewing these reports.
18.2 Automatically Generated Reports
Control reports are automatically generated when a batch process
completes. Control reports provide information on the batch process, such
as settlement date, number of records processed, and number of records
processed successfully.
The following control reports are generated by the EAC/AA system:
Estimated Annual Consumption/Annualised Advance;
Deemed Meter Advance;
Load Daily Profile Coefficients.
Exception reports are similar to control reports, but with a focus on any
exceptions that have been generated as a result of any processing by the
EAC/AA Operations Guide Version 17.100
© ELEXON Limited 2013 Page 67 of 95
EAC/AA system. The following exception reports may be generated by the
EAC/AA system:
Estimated Annual Consumption/Annualised Advance;
Deemed Meter Advance;
Load Daily Profiles;
Load Standard Settlement Configuration.
The conditions leading to the generation of exception reports are given in
the relevant sections (5, 6 and 7) above and Appendix A. The conditions
leading to generation of the exception report for loading Standard
Settlement Configurations, is given in section 2.5 and Appendix A. An
example of this report is given in Appendix .2B.9.
18.3 Viewing Reports
You can use the following form to select a report, which has been generated
on the EAC/AA database server, for viewing at your PC or for printing to
your default printer. This form is available from the Reports|Select Reports
menu option. When you request to display or print a particular report for
the first time, the report is copied to the application server; this may take a
while if the report is large, or if other processing is occurring on the
EAC/AA server. Note that the first time you request to display or print an
EAC/AA Calculation Exception Report, EAC/AA Tolerance Values
Exceptions Report, DMR Audit Report, or Report on DPCs, the EAC/AA
database server software must be running; for subsequent displaying or
printing of these reports, the EAC/AA database server software does not
need to be running, as the report exists on the application server.
Please note:- Should a report being viewed inadvertently have spurious
characters saved to its content, there is a possibility that these changes could
appear to persist. This is caused by the Internet Browser redisplaying a
local copy of the displayed report. This can be rectified by adding sufficient
additional change to the report to trigger the browser into refreshing the
report file from the application server after which the report will appear in
its correct state.
Only reports that have a status of ‘completed’ are displayed.

DMR Audit Report
The Report Time is the date and time at which the file was created on the
server.
During installation of the application software, the default viewer for reports
is set to Wordpad. Within Wordpad, the No Wrap option (from the
View|Options) menu should be set, to ensure that the report text does not
wrap.
Note that if you attempt to print or display an EAC/AA Calculation
Exception Report, EAC/AA Tolerance Values Exception Report, DMR
Audit Report, or Report on DPCs for the first time when the EAC/AA
software on the server is not running, the following message will be
displayed, with <no> substituted with the id of the job:
30 Failed to wait for formatting job <no> EAC/AA may not
be running. If this message persists please contact the
System Administrator. Do you wish to continue to wait?
Should this happen, press the OK button to wait longer, or the Cancel button
to give up waiting and return to the Select Reports screen.
Should you experience other unexpected error messages when attempting to
print or display a report, you should ensure that you are using the correct
printer driver for your printer.
