Data Ownership Rules
On each of the objects (and on selected child objects) an owner flag is included to determine the origin of the data. The owner flag is used by Oracle Utilities Operational Device Management to determine the maintenance owner of key data as well as to protect from accidental deletion important data shipped with the product.
The value of the flag is displayed on maintenance screens to visually indicate the data owner. The location of the information varies from the top left of maintenance pages, within lists of information (to apply to individual rows) and within sections of maintenance pages.
The data ownership flag has the following values:
Value
Description
Base
This is crucial information shipped with Oracle Utilities Operational Device Management and cannot be deleted or modified through the Delete or Medication functions and regardless of user permissions. This value is reserved for use by Oracle Utilities Operational Device Management to ship and protect key information.
Note: To delete this information directly from a product database will cause unexpected results.
Product Name
The name of the product that owns the data. This value is similar to the Base value but indicates which component the data is applicable to. All the rules that apply with the Base value apply to this value.
Customer Modification
This indicates that the data was added by the implementation using the various methods and that it is owned by the implementation.
Note: Deletion of data is permitted using the valid deletion functions for authorized users.
Note: In general, sites can only maintain Customer Modification owned records. Other ownership values are reserved to protect product installation supplied data.
