Additional System Processing - DUIS

Where a PPMID is to be joined to a GSME then the DCC shall add the Key Agreement Certificate (currently in use by the GSME specified within the Service Request) to the Command. The Key Agreement Certificate shall be retrieved by the DCC from the Public Key Repository where the “In Use” flag is set.

Upon successful execution of a JoinService(Non-Critical) Service Request for a Gas Proxy Function (GPF) Device, and where the associated Communication Hub Function and the associated Gas Smart Meter SMI Status are ‘Commissioned’, the DCC shall update the Smart Metering Inventory and set the SMI Status of Gas Proxy Function (GPF) to ‘Commissioned’.
