Defining Algorithms
If you need to introduce a new algorithm, open > > .
Use the Algorithm Query portal to search for an existing algorithm. Once an algorithm is selected, you are brought to the maintenance portal to view and maintain the selected record.
Refer to
The Big Picture Of Algorithms for more information.
Description of Page
Enter an easily recognizable Algorithm Code and Description of the algorithm. Owner indicates if this algorithm is owned by the base package or by your implementation (Customer Modification).
CAUTION:
Important! If you introduce a new algorithm, carefully consider its naming convention. Refer to
System Data Naming Convention for more information.
Reference the Algorithm Type associated with this algorithm.
The parameters available for an algorithm are defined on the algorithm type. The system allows a set of parameter values to change over time. Use the parameter scroll to view parameter values for a given Effective Date. The Owner of the collection of parameters is displayed. The collection shows the Parameter description, the Sequence and the Value for each parameter.
Note:
If the product delivers an algorithm with parameter values defined, an implementation may override the base provided parameter values by adding an additional effective dated collection of parameters.
Note:
If an algorithm is defined and subsequently a new parameter is added to the algorithm type, existing algorithms for the algorithm type should be updated as follows: Click the "+" to add a new effective dated entry to the parameter collection. At this point the latest list of parameters for the algorithm type are visible. Configure the parameters accordingly.
