Machine
A machine is configured as part of the installation.

A machine entry is made up of the following:

• Token (Context Path)

• IP Address

Usage Groups

 Usage Groups are used to group usage partitions for different

periods.
 Usage partitions for the same period or overlapping periods
cannot be added to the same group.

Proprietary and Confidential

Create Usage Group

 There are two ways to create a Usage Group

 Manual – Each partition has to be created manually.
 Automatic – Partitions get created automatically based on
frequency specified.

Proprietary and Confidential

Configuration of Usage Servers

 Usage groups get attached to Usage Servers.

 Usage servers are a combination of Data Source Location and
Data Source Connection.
 Usage Servers can be accessed by selecting Admin >
Reference Table > Usage Server

Proprietary and Confidential

Create Usage Server – Create New
Usage Server
 From the Common Tasks frame, click New
 Enter a desired name for the New Usage Server:

Note: If the Usage Database resides on the same machine, the

Machine does not need to be configured (as it was already
configured at the time of installation). If it is on a different
machine then a new Machine needs to be added.
Proprietary and Confidential
Usage Group – Attaching Usage
Server
 After the Usage Groups have been created, it needs to be
attached to the Usage Server.
 Select the Usage Group that you have just created.
 From the Usage Servers pane select Attach Usage Server

 From the list of Usage Server, select the required Usage

Server.
Proprietary and Confidential
Create Table Definition

 If a new Control Point has to be added, a new Table Definition

may have to be created.
 Table Definition can be accessed by selecting Admin > Table
Definition.
 There are two ways to create a Table Definition.
 Create New fields for table definition from Moneta.
 Import the Output Record Type from Diamond.

Proprietary and Confidential

Create Table Definition – Manual
Adding Fields
 Table Definition can be created manually in Moneta.
 They can be either used to create a Usage table (Partitioned)
or Reference table (Standard).

Proprietary and Confidential

Create Table Definition – Import from
Diamond
 In Diamond the Output Record Definition defines the Data
Fields, their Names and their Data Type that the fields in the
Data Definition File are to be mapped into.
 An existing Output Record Type can be imported from
Diamond.

Proprietary and Confidential

Create Table Instance

 A Table Instance is based on a Table Definition and is a

placeholder for where data can be stored.
 A Table Instance can also be referred to as a Control Point.

Admin > Table Instances

Proprietary and Confidential

Control Points

 Table Instances can be added as Control Points.

Revenue Assurance > Control Points

Proprietary and Confidential

Configuring Stream Stages

 After adding the Control Points, Stream Stages have to be

configured.
 Stream Controller and Task Controller have to be stopped
before making any changes to Stream Stages.

Proprietary and Confidential

Configure Stream Stage

System > Streams

Proprietary and Confidential

Configuring Stream Stages

 The following Stream Stages have to be configured to ensure

that data parsing and data loading activities have been
complete.
 Parsing Stream Stage
 Data Load Stream Stage

Proprietary and Confidential

Add Parse Stream Stage –
Configuring Properties
 Parse Stream Stages has 2 stages of configuration
 Configuring Properties and configuring Parse Output
Mappings.
 The Configuring Properties frame will help users in defining
the file that needs to be used for parsing and a few other parse
related concepts.

Proprietary and Confidential

Add Parse Stream Stage –
Configuring Parse Output Mappings
 Parse Output Mappings configuration helps uses to define the
table where the data needs to be loaded and also what output
has to be loaded.

Proprietary and Confidential

Adding Data Load Stage

 Data Load stage is added to carry out dataload activities.

Proprietary and Confidential

Stream Stages

Note: A comprehensive list of all the stream

stages and how they are configured can be
found in the Administration and
Implementation module of the Moneta
Administration User Guide.

Proprietary and Confidential

Triggers

Triggers

Triggers define a sequence of actions which

run after a particular event occurs. Triggers are used by
the Stream Controller to both watch for new files and to
schedule new Tasks to process data.
There are two Trigger Types:
(1) File Trigger
(2) Task Completed Trigger

Proprietary and Confidential

Creating Triggers

 Select System > Triggers and create a New trigger

Proprietary and Confidential

Creating Triggers – Adding Actions

Creating Triggers
When a Parse has been carried out, the trigger
will create a Data Load Task.
