The system periodically aggregates consumption in batch (using a deferred monitor on the aggregator MCs)

  • Users can re-aggregate real-time if they can’t wait or if the original aggregation needs to be redone due to incorrect admin or master data
  • Users can create ad hoc aggregations “on the fly” and these will persist in the database
  • Aggregation typically lags the current date by a few days to give the system time to upload and VEE the consumption; the amount of lag time is configured by the implementation
  • Aggregation is always performed through a given “through time” (e.g., 12am) rather than through the time of aggregation
  • Note: Exam only ask you to choose 4 correct answers. The incorrect choice is “Users can create ad hoc aggregations “on the fly” and these will NOT persist in the database“
