Installation Options - Algorithms

Select Admin > General > Installation Options - Framework and the Algorithms tab to review or enter the algorithms that should be evoked when a given event occurs.

The grid contains Algorithms that control important functions in the system. You must define the following for each algorithm:

CAUTION:
These algorithms are typically significant processes. The absence of an algorithm might prevent the system from operating correctly.

The following table describes each System Event.

System Event Optional / Required Description
Validate Email Attachment Optional

Algorithms of this type are used to validate the attachments for size and total count while sending attachments using the Email service. Refer to Sending Email for more information.

Geocoding Service Optional

Algorithms of this type use Oracle Locator to retrieve latitude and longitude coordinates using address information.

Global Context Optional

Algorithms of this type are called whenever the value of one of the global context fields is changed. Algorithms of this type are responsible for populating other global context values based on the new value of the field that was changed.

Refer to Global Context Overview for more information.

Guaranteed Delivery Optional

Algorithms of this type may be called by processes that receive incoming messages that should ‘guarantee delivery’. Refer to Guaranteed Delivery for more information. The business service F1-GuaranteedDelivery may be used to invoke this plug-in spot.

Ldap Import Optional

Algorithms of this type are called for operations on users, groups, and group memberships after they have been processed.

Ldap Import Preprocess Optional

Algorithms of this type are called to preprocess data retrieved from LDAP.

Next To Do Assignment Optional

This type of algorithm is used to find the next To Do entry a user should work on. It is called from the Current To Do dashboard zone when the user ask for the next assignment.

Reporting Tool Optional

If your installation has integrated with a third party reporting tool, you may wish to allow your users to submit reports on-line using report submission or to review report history online. This algorithm is used by the two on-line reporting pages to properly invoke the reporting tool from within the system.

SMS Receive Service Optional

This type of algorithm is used to provide SMS receive service. Only one algorithm of this type should be plugged in.

SMS Send Service Optional

This type of algorithm is used to provide SMS send service. If your installation uses the base algorithm that uses BPEL, you will need to create a feature configuration with the SMS Send Configuration feature type to define your Oracle BPEL server and service call details. If your installation has integrated with a third-party SMS service, you may want to override this algorithm type with your own implementation. Only one algorithm of this type should be plugged in.

To Do Information Optional

We use the term To Do information to describe the basic information that appears throughout the system to describe a To Do entry.

Plug an algorithm into this spot to override the system default "To Do information".

To Do Pre-creation Optional

These types of algorithms are called when a To Do entry is being added.
