Configuring the Custom Algorithm from the User Interface

Prerequisites

To configure the custom algorithm from the user interface you should:

  • Define custom algorithm JAVA code

  • Generate artifacts, do Web Build and start the WebLogic server to bring the ORMB application up and running

Procedure

To configure the custom algorithm from the user interface you should:

  • Create an algorithm type and associate it with the custom algorithm java code

  • Create an algorithm and associate it with the algorithm type

  1. To create an algorithm type, click the Admin link in the Application toolbar.
    A list appears.
  2. From the Admin menu, select A and then click Algorithm Type.
    A sub-menu appears
  3. Click the Add option from the Algorithm Type sub-menu.
    The Algorithm Type screen appears. It contains the following fields:
    Field Name Field Description Mandatory (Yes or No)
    Algorithm Type Used to specify the algorithm type that you want to create in the system. Yes
    Description Used to specify the description for the algorithm type. Yes
    Detailed Description Used to specify additional information about the algorithm type No
    Algorithm Entity Used to indicate the algorithm entity for which you want to create the algorithm type. The valid value is:

    • Report-Data Extract Algorithm

    		 Yes
    Program Type Used to indicate the program code using which the custom algorithm is created. The valid value is:

    • JAVA

    		 Yes
    Program Name Used to specify the custom algorithm java code. The valid value is:
    com.splwg.ccb.domain.reportsubmission.ReportDataExtractAlgorithmSpot
    		 Yes

    In addition, the Algorithm Type screen contains the following fields in a grid:

    Field Name Field Description Mandatory (Yes or No)
    Sequence Used to specify the sequence in which the parameter is considered for the algorithm type. No
    Parameter Used to specify the parameter using which you want to create the algorithm type. No
    Required Used to indicate whether the parameter is required or not. No
    Owner Indicates the user who associated the parameter with the algorithm type. No
  4. Enter the required details in the Algorithm Type screen.
  5. Click Save.
    The algorithm type is saved.
  6. To create an algorithm, click the Admin link in the Application toolbar.
    A list appears.
  7. From the Admin menu, select A and then click Algorithm.
    A sub-menu appears
  8. Click the Add option from the Algorithm sub-menu.
    The Algorithm screen appears. It contains the following fields:
    Field Name Field Description Mandatory (Yes or No)
    Algorithm Code Used to specify the algorithm that you want to create in the system Yes
    Description Used to specify the description for the algorithm. Yes
    Algorithm Type Used to specify the algorithm type to which you want to associate the algorithm. Yes
    Algorithm Type Description Displays the description of the algorithm type. Not Applicable
    Parameter Displays the parameter of the algorithm. Not Applicable
    Effective Date Displays the date from when the algorithm type is effective for the algorithm. Not Applicable
  9. Enter the required details in the Algorithm screen.
  10. Click Save.
    The custom algorithm is configured in the user interface.
