About refreshing signal configurations

You can monitor and manage refreshes for interactive signal configurations and multisource signal configurations. You cannot manage scripted signal configuration refreshes. Scripted signal configurations are managed outside of the Oracle Empirica Signal application, based on your organization's requirements. See About signal configurations.

When do configurations require a refresh?

You refresh an interactive signal configuration after you perform the following activities (or the underlying data has been refreshed):

• Rename products.
• Manage designated medical events.
• Manage custom terms.
• Manage targeted medical events.
• Manage listed events.
• Edit alert types.

Additional considerations for multisource configurations

In addition to the above criteria, multisource signal configurations require a refresh if any of the following conditions are true:

• Dependent configurations have been refreshed.
• Secondary configurations have changed.
• Objects shared with the lead configuration have changed. When shared objects have changed, you must refresh the lead configuration first at least once, then refresh the multisource configuration.

During a refresh, Oracle Empirica Signal incorporates your changes and validates the signal configuration. If validation errors are found, the refresh fails.
