3 Common Development Tasks

This section contains information on the following topics, which are tasks common to the definition of different types of Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub objects.

See also Getting Started.

• Creating and Reusing Objects
  
• Naming Objects
  Make an object name as descriptive as possible to help other users understand its purpose.
• Viewing Object Instances and Definitions
  The process of viewing and modifying object instances and definitions is similar for all object types.
• Understanding Object Versions and Checkin/Checkout
  This section includes the following topics.
• Upgrading Object Instances to a New Definition Version
  If an object instance references a definition that has been updated since the instance was created, you may want to update the instance so that it references the new version of the definition. You can upgrade object instances to a newer version of their source definition through the Actions drop-down list either from the definition or from the instance.
• Copying, Cloning, and Moving Objects
  This section contains the following topics.
• Removing Objects
  If you have the necessary privileges, you can remove an object instance from a Work Area or an object definition from an Application Area or Domain. After you remove an object, the system prepends its name with a tilde (~). You can then use the original name again within the same container.
• Classifying Objects and Outputs
  This section contains the following topics.
• Applying Security to Objects and Outputs
  In order to view or perform any other operation on an object, a user must belong to a user group assigned to the object. Objects automatically inherit the user group assignments of their immediate container.
• Validating Objects and Outputs
  This section includes the following topics.
• Reordering and Renumbering Objects
  You can use the Reorder function to change the order of some objects and the Renumber function to create sequential numbering for some objects.
• Defining and Mapping Table Descriptors
  This section contains the following topics.
• Creating, Modifying, and Submitting Execution Setups
  This section contains the following topics.
• Viewing Data
  This section contains the following topics.
• Viewing Jobs
  You can see a record of each submission of an executable object instance from the Jobs subtab on its Properties screen.
• Viewing All Outputs of a Program
  You can view all existing outputs of executable objects several ways.
• Using the Actions Drop-Down List
  You can use the Actions drop-down list to modify an object's classifications, security user group assignments, validation status, and more.
• Defining Planned Outputs
  Different types of objects have different requirements for Planned Output definitions, which are placeholders for the actual outputs generated by the object during execution. See:
