Set up custom program and function groupings

To create a custom program or function for use in a transformation from one clinical data model to another or in a validation check, programmers must create a program in the Oracle DMW_UTILS domain in Oracle LSH.

You can create application area containers within the Oracle DMW_UTILS domain to help users find appropriate custom programs and functions and reuse them, promoting standardization.

The process is similar to creating domains to organize studies and libraries; see Set up study and library groupings.

Note:

For performance reasons, Oracle recommends creating application areas instead of domains inside DMW_UTILS to organize programs and other objects.

For information on creating program and function group application areas using APIs, see the Oracle Health Sciences Life Sciences Warehouse Application Programming Interface Guide.

To create grouping application areas in the LSH user interface:

1. Log in to Oracle LSH. Expand the Life Sciences Data Hub node on the left and click Applications.
2. In the Applications window, click the Search icon next to the Select Domain field.
3. Select Search By Domain Name, enter DMW_UTILS, then click Go.
4. Click the Quick Select icon for DMW_UTILS.
5. Click the Create Child icon for DMW_UTILS.
6. From the Select Child list, select Application Area and click OK.
7. Enter a name as you want it to appear in the user interface. Do not use special characters (except _) or reserved words.
8. Click Apply.
