Domain Types

A domain type is a top level is container that defines the data source. There are three domain types:

• RateManager – the default domain type utilizing the RateManager database. This domain type cannot be edited or deleted.

• Product Configuration – the data source is Oracle Insurance Product Configuration (PC). If Product Configuration is utilized, business object models created in Product Configuration can be brought in to RateManager. This domain type has restricted editing and requires most element updates to be performed directly in Product Configuration.

• Other – a user-created domain type where outside data sources brought in to RateManager can be applied. For example, library templates can only be applied to an Other domain type. Other domain types also can be used to create and manage programs like the RateManager domain type. Other domain types are open for editing and can be deleted if no longer needed.

In most instances, the RateManager domain type is listed on the Program Explorer page. If the system administrator or installer has the “enforce PC” option is set to true in Preferences, the RateManager domain type is not presented. Only the Product Configuration domain type is listed.

The Product Configuration domain type and the RateManager domain type may both be listed if a Product Configuration Server address has been entered in the Preferences settings. If no Product Configuration server address has been entered, the Product Configuration domain type is not presented.

Note: Preferences system settings require admin permissions.

Domain types are visible to all users. You must have Project permissions to manage domain types. If the domain options are grayed out or ineffective, then you do not have the permissions to work in these areas. Contact your system administrator to obtain permissions.
