Oracle Exam 1Z0-1091-22 Topic 9 Question 16 Discussion

Momentary outages are very short-term outages where an outage event is sent and a restoration event is received in less than a few minutes. These outages may not require any action from the utility and may be ignored for reporting or analysis purposes. According to the Oracle Utilities Meter Solution Cloud Service Business User Guide, two system components that can be configured to ignore momentary outages are:

Device events: These are events that are sent by smart meters to indicate various conditions or situations, such as outages, tampering, or alarms. Device events can be configured with a minimum duration parameter that specifies the minimum time difference between an event start and an event end for the event to be processed. If the event duration is less than the minimum duration, the event is ignored.

Activities: These are tasks that are created by the system or by users to perform various actions, such as meter reading, installation, or maintenance. Activities can be configured with a momentary outage threshold parameter that specifies the maximum time difference between an outage event and a restoration event for the activity to be created. If the outage duration is less than the momentary outage threshold, no activity is created.
