Object Installation Functions

Depending on the external system, you may need to write functions for use when a user installs a Load Set, Data Mart, Program, or Business Area. All object installation function names are stored in the tech_types table.

Each function should return TRUE in case of success and FALSE in case of a failure. All three of these functions must have the following signature:

function name_of_function (company_id in cdr_program_refs.company_id%TYPE,
   prref_id in cdr_program_refs.prref_id%TYPE,
   prref_ver in cdr_program_refs.prref_ver%TYPE, )
return boolean

The functions' parameters take values as follows:

• pi_nCompanyID see "Getting Your Company ID"

• prref_id see "Getting an Object's Prref_Id and Prref_Ver"

• prref_ver see "Getting an Object's Prref_Id and Prref_Ver"

See details for the following functions:

• Pre_Install_Function
  
• Install_Function
  
• Post_Install_Function
