Adding an Algorithm Group

You can add an algorithm group by copying algorithms from an existing algorithm group. Oracle recommens copying whenever possible. However, if copying is not permitted on the platform that you are using, you can write one yourself.

To add a new algorithm group:

1. Open the AR_PREDICT2 Application Engine program in Application Designer.

2. Select Insert, Section.

   A new section titled Section1 appears in the list.

3. Type over the name of Section1 algorithm group.

   The new name must start with #. For example: #NEW.

4. Save your work.

5. Copy algorithms from existing algorithm groups and paste them into the new algorithm group.

   Each algorithm requires a minimum of three statements: name, insert, and post match system processing.

   If the algorithm is customer-based, copy an existing algorithm that is most similar to the one that you want to create.

   If the algorithm is reference-based, copy #REFS.

   To copy, right-click the section that you want to copy and select Copy.

   To paste, right-click the section where you want to insert the new section and select Paste.

6. Copy and paste the SQL statements for each step.

   To copy, right-click the appropriate action and select View SQL.

   To paste, right-click the appropriate action folder in the new section and select Paste.

7. Modify the SQL as needed.
