Definition

The determination configuration defines which determinations are executed for a node category (depending on the determination time).

Use

The determination configuration can be used to define for a node category which determination should be executed at which determination time.

If more than one node category exists the configuration can be different as the business logic of instances with different node categories could be different.

Dependencies

A determination is only executed at the different determination times for a node instance if it is enabled for the node category of this instance.

Example

For a node (e.g. an item of a service order) two node categories SERVICE_ITEM and SALES_ITEM are defined that have slightly different semantics and business logic.

Three determinations are defined for the node that should run when an item is created (determination time "after modify" with trigger "create").

  • One determination DET_ITEM_DATA to determine common item data
  • One determination DET_SERVICE_ITEM_DATA to determine service-specific item data
  • One determination DET_SALES_ITEM_DATA to determine sales-specific item data

As DET_ITEM_DATA should be executed for both service and sales items it is enabled for both node categories. To the contrary DET_SERVICE_ITEM should only be executed for service items and is therefore only enabled for the node category SERVICE_ITEM whereas DET_SALES_ITEM should only be executed for sales items and is therefore only enabled for the node category SALES_ITEM.
