Oracle Insurance Data Foundation (OIDF) Physical Data Model (PDM) design evolves as the analytical use cases covered by the OIDF and enhanced as improvements are engineered as a part of the product lifecycle. While the model satisfies a very large number of analytical use cases across Risk, Finance, Marketing, and Compliance subject areas, customers may need to customize the model for a specific installation. These custom changes however may impact the ability of the OIDF installation to be upgraded to later versions of the product. The guidelines outlined in this section will help minimize the impact of custom changes to the model when the installation needs to be upgraded to a later version of OIDF.
This section consists of the following sub-sections:
· Customization Process Guidelines
