Users Cannot Easily Access Integration Bus Data

IEC 61968 Compliant Integration Bus

Huge amounts of data is flowing between the applications on the integration bus, but users need a way to select and receive only the information they are interested in.

Example: Meter Readings

A typical meter reading head end may send out a million meter events a day. Each meter is typically identified by a numeric ID. WG 14 messaging supports getting a list of every meter ID and to poll for specific meter events once you have the meter ID. How does a user who is only interested in VIP metering events select the data of interest? Is it possible for any human to go through a million numeric IDs to find the ones of interest?

Typical Approach: A Warehouse Based Portal

Putting all messages into a data warehouse disables real-time eventing to users. The portal typically has no means to notify users that new data of interest is available. Using a data warehouse/portal in this way defeats the purpose of an event driven architecture which is one of the main goals of an integration bus

Solution Architecture: Use the CIM to access data

Navigate to objects of interest. Subscribing to the North Area allows a user to only receive a subset CIM data. Only data about the objects in the North Area is received.
