Dictionaries

All dictionaries are stored in database schema separately outside Oracle Argus Safety and Interchange schema. The Oracle Argus-supported dictionaries are:

MedDRA
MedDRA J
WHO Drug
J Drug

Only one copy of each dictionary version is maintained in the database and it is not segregated by enterprise. The dictionary version that is applicable for a particular enterprise/client is defined in these common profile switches: Case Form Configuration > Auto Encoding, Dictionary & Central Encoding. Since these switches are segregated by each Enterprise, these dictionaries can have different versions for different enterprises, as required.J Drug dictionary is not configured through Console common profile switches (Case Form Configuration > Auto Encoding, Dictionary & Central Encoding), and is internally maintained as single version, therefore, it remains a common J Drug dictionary for all enterprises.
