The development, release, and timing of any features or functionality described for Oracle's products remains at the sole discretion of Oracle

1.1 Concepts

1.1.1 Application Modularity

The Oracle Health Insurance suite (OHI) is composed of several applications. In order to ensure full compatibility between these applications, they share a common base.

1.1.2 Database Users and Roles

In order to support the modularity, each application has a separate database schema.

1.1.3 Enabling Replication of Setup Data

During the lifecycle of the application, there is a regular need to transport seed data or setup data from one environment to another using the Configuration Migration tool. This data is identified by an ID, a numeric field. In order to prevent clashes between data created in one environment and existing data in the target environment, it is a prerequisite to ensure that a generated ID is unique across environments. The mechanism used for this purpose is to have the last digit of an ID indicate the source of the row. We recommend the following convention:

Source environments	Description	Discriminator Digit	Examples
OHI Factory	This is the environment at Oracle where the seed data is maintained. The seed data delivered by Oracle always has an ID ending on a zero.	0	17650 17660
Setup	The environment in which you maintain your setup and configuration. This environment should not contain test data.	1	6341 6351
Production	The production environment.	2	3452 3462
Test	The environment in which you test the setup. Setup changes made in the Setup environment are transferred to this environment for testing.	3	165423 165433

Plan the environments and assign unique discriminator values for each environment.

1.2 Release directory structure

1.2.1 Overview of the directory structure

The distribution contains a number of directories that contain all the necessary information and sources to perform the install. The root directory is the directory where you decide to host the released files. It can be any location or name of your choosing and will be referenced throughout this document as <OHI_ROOT>.

For the database installation it is required to have this directory structure available on a windows based machine running Oracle database client software. For the Application server installation, the required installation / configuration files can be made available by copying them to a location on the server or sharing them from their original location.
