Math Update Prototype

The MathUpdate prototype demonstrates how OIPA processes projections using a new Math Update element. This element indicates to OIPA that a projection activity is being processed. Using MathUpdate allows OIPA to access and update values stored in memory an unlimited number of times without affecting the actual value stored in the database.

Scenario

A customer wants to know the various costs incurred by adding a particular segment to a policy over the life of the policy. The CSR adds an activity that projects segment costs over the course of the policy life. The actual segment values are not saved to the database.

Configuration Explanation

• A MathUpdate transaction was configured. The transaction demonstrates the use of the new MathUpdate element. The MathUpdate element tells OIPA to update the SegmentAmount field in memory with the collection of values defined in the SegmenAmountCollectionMV. The actual database values are not updated.
