Introducing the Data Administration Toolkit

This chapter describes the Data Administration Toolkit, and provides system requirements and installation instructions. The following topics are included:

Overview

System Requirements

Installing the Toolkit

Managing Connection Profiles

 

Overview

The Data Administration Toolkit provides a secure place to host data administration components that need to change infrequently, are highly complex, or are not provided in the Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process web interface. Use the toolkit to safely enhance past versions of Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process in a streamlined manner without modifying the core software.

The toolkit produces SQL code instead of making live updates to a database. Benefits to this method include the following:

The SQL that is produced is safe; it is written with the appropriate surrounding conditions to prevent multiple attempts at running the toolkit and to prevent duplicate records from being created.

The SQL that is produced can then be run against the appropriate database by users with the proper rights/permissions in a controlled manner at the appropriate off-cycle time.

 

Note: Users should resist the urge to edit the SQL produced since they run the risk of corrupting the product.

The toolkit functionality comes in the form of widgets. Several widgets are available depending on which version of Oracle Agile Product Lifecycle Management for Process you are using. See "Supported Versions" on page 2-1 for a list of widgets that are available for each version. In the future, more widgets will be added based on customer feedback and the need for specific support.

Note: You must have Microsoft .Net 3.5 installed on your system to run the toolkit. See "System Requirements" on page 1-2 for more information.

System Requirements

Managing Rules and Rulesets

When a label claim is set as calculatable, claim determination rules need to be added. Calculations are added by adding rulesets. A ruleset is a group of rules. Notice in the figure below how rulesets and rules are listed underneath each label claim.

Figure 2–20 Structure of rules and rulesets

Overview 

Rule sets and rules are sorted by sequence number that drives the order upon which they are evaluated. Each rule set is evaluated by analyzing each rule's formula. The system uses an OR mechanism for determination which means that as soon as one formula returns true, the rule set is successful. If the result of the evaluated rule set is successful, the system then evaluates the calculation script of the first rule whose formula evaluated to true. When there is a successful rule set evaluation, the system assumes that it passed the label claim and will stop evaluating further. If no rule sets are successful, it will assume that label claim failed.

Rulesets

To create a ruleset, right-click on the label claim and click Add New Ruleset, as shown below.

Figure 2–21 Right-click menu

The ruleset name is system defined as "Ruleset X" with X being the sequence of the ruleset. The sequence of the ruleset specifies the order the rulesets are evaluated. For example, the rules within ruleset 1 will be evaluated first. If none of the rules in that ruleset return true then the system will move to Ruleset 2 and so on. To re-sequence a ruleset, right-click and select Promote Ruleset or Demote Ruleset to move the ruleset into the new position. All rules contained within that ruleset will be moved with it.

Figure 2–22 Right-click menu

Rules

Each ruleset contains one or more rules. To create a rule, right-click on the ruleset and select Add New Rule. Each rule contains the following fields:

Field Description

Formula Represents a statement to be evaluated by the system for matching. This is the calculation that will return true or false. This is written in jscript. The formulation parameters section is available as a reference for which variables can be used inside your script. Example:

Class = 1 and Fat * 9 < Enerckcal * .5 and (Fat * (RACCx/100) <= RefFat * (RefRACCx/100) * .5 or Enerckcal * (RACCx/100)  <= RefEnerckcal  * (RefRACCx/100) * .66666)

Calculations Represents a statement that will be evaluated and returned when the formula evaluates to true. This will be displayed to the end user during label claim determination. Example:

new System.Text.StringBuilder().AppendFormat( '{0:#.######}', [Fat * (RACCx/100)] / [RefFat * (RefRACCx/100)] * 100 ).ToString() + ' % Less Fat than Reference

' + new System.Text.StringBuilder().AppendFormat( '{0:#.######}', [Enerckcal * (RACCx/100)] / [RefEnerckcal * (RefRACCx/100)] * 100 ).ToString() + ' % Fewer Calories than Reference'

Comments Represents comments associated with the rule. These comments are displayed to the user when label claim determination rules are run. If the active nutrient profile contains a classification (Main Dish, Individual Food Item, etc.), the system will look at each comment and if it starts with matching classification name and ":" it will include the comment.

If the active nutrient profile does not include a classification, no comments will be displayed to the user for this label claim. Example:

Individual foods: if less than 50% of calories are from fat, fat must be reduced at least 50% or calories reduced at least 1/3 per reference amount.

ATTENTION: For "Light" claims: Generally, percentage reduction for both fat and calories must be stated. An exception is that percentage reduction need not be specified for "low-fat" products. Quantitative comparisons must be stated for both fat and calories.

The figure below shows a rule and defined fields:

Figure 2–23 Rule and defined fields

The sequence of the rule specifies the order the rules are evaluated. For example, the rule 1 will be evaluated before rule 2. To re-sequence a rule, right-click and select Promote Ruleset or Demote Ruleset to re-position the rule. All formulas, calculations, and comments will be carried over with the rule.
