2 Set up the Oracle Argus Mart data configurations in Oracle Empirica Signal

• About the Oracle Argus Mart data configurations
  The data configurations provide access to the cases in the database tables that you can analyze using Oracle Empirica Signal. For example, the Argus Spontaneous (S+C) data configuration includes only spontaneous reports from Oracle Argus Mart, but both suspect and concomitant drug records for those cases.
• Make the Release Notes accessible to users from the Oracle Empirica Signal application
  You must make the Release Notes accessible for users to install Argus Mart data and Argus Signal Management.
• Install MedDRA accounts on the Oracle Empirica Signal database
  Data from the Oracle Argus Mart application is timestamped. Therefore, you must create a MedDRA user account for each version of MedDRA used to code the data.
• Update Oracle Argus Mart 8.2 (and later) for use with Oracle Empirica Signal 9.1
  To update Oracle Argus Mart 8.2 and later to Oracle Empirica Signal 9.1, perform these steps using the non-privileged user account on the application server.
• Load the Oracle Argus Mart data configurations into the Oracle Empirica Signal application
  You load the data configurations into Oracle Empirica Signal to enable users to work with data from the Oracle Argus Mart application.
• Specify the MedDRA version for each time period in an Oracle Argus Mart data configuration
  You must specify the MedDRA version used for each time period in the data. A time period is a range of dates during which only one MedDRA version was used to code the data.
• Validate the Oracle Argus Mart data configurations
  Validate the Oracle Argus Mart data configurations before you attempt to publish the configurations. For more information about the validation process, see the User Guide and Online Help.
• Publish the Oracle Argus Mart data configurations
  Publish the Oracle Argus Mart data configurations to the login groups and users that require access to the configurations.
• Attach the PL/SQL custom procedure to the Argus ETL hook
  Oracle Argus Mart provides ETL Hooks for custom procedures that can be used to extend the existing behavior of the Argus Mart ETL.
