Symptoms

No power ups in NMS

You don't see any power ups in NMS, all power ups are blanks even some that have AMI requests = Yes.

Should be able to see power ups in Work Agenda to determine the number of customers that are up.

On the NMS side:
See the following error in the multispeak adapter log:

The following kept growing in the log file over time to large values indicating the messages weren't being successfully transmitted:
loaded 61394 pending ping requests
sending 59545 meter statuses to NMS


On the NMS side the only place records would be backing up is in the AMR_RESPONSES database table. When the MultiSpeak adapter gets a meter status from AMI, it writes it into this table. It has a separate thread which periodically loads new records from that table and processes them.

If that periodic thread somehow got stuck, stopped or disappeared in some other way, then information from AMI would accumulate in the AMR_RESPONSES table.

If the issue is occurring, you could check that table for rows where REQ_STATUS = 'P' and RESULT_TIME is not null. These are the instances where meter status has been received from AMI but not yet processed and delivered to JMService.
