v10.4 [May 18, 2012]
Modules
- Oracle Policy Modeling now enables you to combine policy models from multiple teams or projects, and easily update them as needed. This reduces the risk of large policy automation projects and means that common policies across projects/divisions/systems can be readily shared. To do this you build your rulebase as a module, and then link to this module from other projects.
Entity and relationship creation changes
- The user interface for defining data models in Policy Modeling projects has been simplified. Creating an entity in a properties file is now a quick one-step process that automatically sets up the containment relationship, as well as the identifying attribute for the entity. (The default containment relationship, and the default identifying attribute, can later be edited.) The user interface for editing containment and reference relationships is now consistent.
Batch processor
- The batch processor is a replacement for the Data Source Connector and allows a large number of 'cases' to be processed in batch. It has made it possible to easily analyze a policy model to see the results it will yield (using What-If Analysis documents). The batch processor can also be used to generate test scripts from existing Excel data.
Testing coverage
- There is an added report, Test Script Coverage, that enables you to measure the coverage of the test cases in a project. This helps to identify how you could improve the overall coverage of a test suite.
Other changes
- Displaying unformatted number values - you can now specify in the Attribute Editor that a number variable is to be displayed unformatted (eg in decision reports in the debugger and Web Determinations).
- Checkboxes in interviews - boolean values can now be collected using checkboxes.
- Sortable Project Explorer - folders and files in the Project Explorer can now be sorted alphabetically.
- The accessibility of the Oracle Web Determinations (OWD) user interface has been improved.
- Documentation has been improved.
It is a reporting tool that separates the data from the presentation.
