Source Link DataSets Area

The Source Link DataSets area enables you to add Source Link datasets to a Network Definition and to map the columns within each Source Link dataset.

Source Link DataSets Area

The Source Link DataSets area columns are resizable, as is the entire Source Link DataSets area. Vertical and horizontal scroll bars display as needed.

Each row in the Source Link DataSets area contains the following drop-down lists:

  • DataSet: Lists all realized datasets with integer or float attributes as the primary key, in the cur- rent domain that you may select for inclusion into your Network Definition. The default option is <Add DataSet>.
    • The system populates all the columns with the dataset default values after you select a Source Link dataset. Until then, the columns are blank and non-editable.
    • The last empty row of the DataSet drop-down list column is always enabled so that you may add another Source Link dataset.
    • The rows within the Source Link DataSets area are sorted in ascending alphabetical order based on the dataset name (when you have opened an existing dataset).
    • The DataSet column excludes all datasets chosen as the Network Characteristics dataset or as an Input Characteristic dataset.
  • From Node Attr: Provides a list all attributes associated with the selected dataset that are of integer or float type. This attribute describes the key of the from node (for example, ACC_SEQ_ID or SNDACTT_SEQ_ID as illustrated in Figure 30 on page 83). The default option is <Select Attri- bute> until you select a From Node attribute and save it within the Network Definition. This field is either mandatory or optional depending on your selection in the From Node Type column.
  • From Bus Attr: Provides a list of attributes associated with the selected dataset. This attribute describes the business key of the from node and is used for display purposes or to identify the node (for example, ACCT_NAME). The default option is <Select Attribute> until you select a From Bus attribute and save it within the Network Definition.
  • From Node Type: Provides the available node types defined within the current domain and the corresponding identifying attribute of the node type (for example, ADDRESS -Bus Attr or CUS- TOMER_ACCOUNT - Key Attr). The default option is <Select Type> until you select a From Node Type attribute and save it within the Network Definition. In addition, you can add node types (refer to Adding a Node Type, for more information).
  • Link Weight: Provides the names of each integer and real attribute within the selected dataset, excluding those attributes with SEQ_ID in the name (for example, AMOUNT). The default value is <No Attribute Selected> until you select a Link Weight attribute and save it within the Network Definition. An entry in this column is optional.
  • Link Bus Attr: Provides list of attributes associated with the selected dataset. This attribute describes the business key of the Link Weight column and is used for display purposes (for example, XACTN_ID). The default value is <No Attribute Selected> until you select a Link Bus attribute and save it within the Network Definition. An entry in this column is optional.
  • Link Type: Provides available link types defined within the current domain for the Oracle Finan- cial Services product (for example, RESIDENCY or WIRE_TRANSFER). The default value is <Select Type> until you select a Link Type attribute and save it within the Network Definition. In addition, you can add link types (refer to Adding a Link Type, for more information).
  • Link Dir: Provides the ONE_WAY and NONE options. These options represent the direction of the link. The default value is ONE_WAY until you select a Link Dir type and save it within the Net- work Definition.
  • Link Time Stamp: Provides the names of each date attribute within the selected dataset (for example, XACTN_TS). If you do not specify a Link Time Stamp value, the system uses the current date for all links contained in Source Link dataset. The default value is <No Attribute Selected> until you select a Link Time Stamp attribute and save it within the Network Definition. An entry in this column is optional.

    Note:

    If you specify a Link Time Stamp attribute, any links that have a null value for that column are assigned the current date as the Link Time Stamp value.
  • To Node Attr: Provides the list of attributes associated with the selected dataset that are of inte- ger or float type. The column represented by this attribute should be the Oracle Financial Ser- vices key (for example, SEQ_ID) for the to node (for example, ADDR_ID or RECVACCT_SEQ_ID). The default value is <Select Attribute> until you select a To Node attribute and save it within the Network Definition. This field is either mandatory or optional depending on your selection in the To Node Type column.
  • To Bus Attr: Provides the names of each attribute within the selected dataset. This attribute describes the business key of the to node and is used for display purposes or to identify the node (for example, ADDR_TEXT or RECV_ACCT_NAME). The default value is <Select Attribute> until you select a To Bus attribute and save it within the Network Definition.
  • To Node Type: Provides the available node types defined within the current domain and the cor- responding identifying attribute of the node type (for example, ADDRESS - Bus Attr or CUSTOM- ER_ACCOUNT - Key Attr). The default value is <Select Type> until you select a To Node Type attribute and save it within the Network Definition. In addition, you can add node types (refer to Adding a Node Type, for more information).
