Predefined Methods

This section describes the pre-defined methods available per object. These pre-defined methods can be divided into two categories: methods that are available on all or many objects, called generic methods, and methods that are only available on particular objects, called specific methods.

Generic Methods

test

Executes a dynamic logic function in "unit test" mode:

1. Runs under the security context for the dynamic logic to be tested

2. The database transaction is set to "rollback only". No data can be persisted permanently.

   Availability

   This method is available in the Dynamic Logic (Groovy script).

   Parameters

In or Out	Type	Description
In	String	The code of the dynamic logic unit to be invoked (UUT, Unit Under Test)
In	Map<String,Object>	A map holding the parameters of the UUT
Out	DynamicLogicResult	This object holds the results of the UUT and optionally the Exception class if an error was thrown from the UUT. Attributes of this object are: . "result" . "exception"

Example

def result = test( "SPECIAL_BENEFIT_SELECT", [
    "claim" : claim
])

Please refer to the Claims Developer Guide for the complete list of available generic methods.

Specific Methods

In this section, the methods are described that are only available on specific objects. For each method, the following information is given:

• The purpose of the method.

• On which object(s) the method can be called.

• Description of the parameters.

• An example of the usage.

getParameterValue

Gets the parameter value of a product that is defined for a parameter alias at a given point in time. If a value is defined at the parameter alias value level, then it will also return that value.

Availability

This method is available on product objects.

Parameters

In or Out	Type	Description
In	String	The code of the parameter alias. Mandatory.
In	Date	As of date for time validity. Optional.
Out	List	The parameter value list defined for the parameter alias in context of the product. Null if no parameter value is defined.

Example

parameterValue = product.getParameterValue("PCP_COPAY","2014-01-21")

getProductLimitRenewalPeriod

Gets the product limit renewal period of a product that is defined for a limit at a given point in time.

Availability

This method is available on product objects.

Parameters

In or Out	Type	Description
In	String	The code of the limit. Mandatory.
Out	Product Limit Renewal Period	The product limit renewal period defined for the limit in context of the product. Null if no product limit renewal period is defined.

Example

productLimitRenewalPeriod = product.getproductLimitRenewalPeriod("DEDUCTIBLE")

getProductProviderGroup

Gets the product provider group of a product that is defined for a provider group at a given point in time.

Availability

This method is available on product objects.

Parameters

In or Out	Type	Description
In	String	The code of the provider group. Mandatory.
In	Date	As of date for time validity. Optional.
Out	Product Provider Group	The product provider group defined for the provider group in context of the product. Null if no product provider group is defined.

Example

productProviderGroup = product.getProductProviderGroup("NY NETWORK","2014-01-21")

getProductServiceDefinition

Gets the product service definition of a product that is defined for a service definition at a given point in time.

Availability

This method is available on product objects.

Parameters

In or Out	Type	Description
In	String	The code of the service option. Mandatory.
In	String	The code of the service. Mandatory.
In	String	The code of the service definition. Mandatory.
In	String	The type of the service definition ("A","C","R","W"). Mandatory
In	Date	As of date for time validity. Mandatory.
Out	Product Service Definition	The product service definition defined for the service definition in context of the product. Null if no product service definition is defined.

Example

productServiceDefinition = product.getproductServiceDefinition("PHYSICAL THERAPY","SERVICES","PROFESSIONAL","C","2014-01-21")

lookUpFlexCode

Returns the flex code object that matches the input character string.

Availability

This method can be called without a base object.

Parameters

In / Out	Type	Description
In	String	Key value of the flexCode
In	String	Definition code of the flexCode
Out	flexCode	Flex Code

Example

person.dynamicFieldYesNoIndicator = lookUpFlexCode("YES", "YES_NO")

setDynamicField

The method sets the dynamic field to an object.

Availability

This method is available for all objects that support dynamic fields.

Parameters

In or Out	Type	Description
In	String	A usage name
In	Object	Structure of the dynamic field

Example

The following logic sets a time-valid field usage:

policy.setDynamicField("policyCoverage", new DynamicFieldPeriod(polCovRef.policyCoverage,polCovRef.startDate,polCovRef.endDate))

NOTE

The recommended way to use the dynamic field is mentioned in the Writing section.
