Network Characteristics Area

In the Network Characteristics area, you can define the relationship between the Network Characteristics dataset and an Input Characteristic dataset by mapping one attribute in the Network Characteristics dataset and one attribute in one Input Characteristic dataset.

Note:

Using the Network Characteristics area of the Network Definition Editor is optional. Use this area only when you want to include definable characteristics.

The Network Characteristics area columns are resizable and vertical and horizontal scroll bars display as needed. The columns of the Network Characteristics area include the following:

• Network Characteristics DataSet: Provides the dataset name of each realized dataset that is associated with the Oracle Financial Services domain, contains a NTWRK_ID as its key attribute, and is not already selected as a Source Link dataset (for example, RELATED_ACCT_NT- WRK_CHRST). The default value is <No DataSet Selected>.
• Characteristic column: Automatically populates when you select a Network Characteristics dataset. This column is not editable (for example, AVG_ACCT_BAL or TOT_ACCT_BAL). Each attribute (column) of the Network Characteristics dataset is in a separate row, excluding the NTWRK_ID column.
• Input Characteristic DataSet: Provides the name of each realized dataset that is associated with the Oracle Financial Services domain, contains a NTWRK_ID as its key attribute, and is not already selected as a Source Link dataset or Network Characteristics dataset (for example, INPUT_NTWRK_CHAR). The default option is <Select DataSet>.
• Input Characteristic Attribute: Provides the name of each column, excluding the NTWRK_ID column, of the selected dataset in the Input Characteristic DataSet column of the same row. This is of the same column type (for example, varchar or date) as the attribute in the Characteristic column (for example, AVG_ACCT_BAL or TOT_ACCT_BAL). The default option is <Select Attri- bute>.
