| Name | Activity_Parameter |
|---|---|
| Entity Type | Table |
| Description | A light-weight parameter defined in a workflow or used in an activity. Each instance must be bound to exactly one workflow object or exactly one activity object (but not both). Parameters are intended as inputs, outputs or local variables in a workflow or activity, for which a) there is no dedicated Entity type (for which better mechanisms are provided) and b) the sharing is local to the workflow or activity (significant sharing would justify promotion of the concept to Entity status). Parameters appear to be necessary for things like allowable algorithm error level, iteration limits, graphics presentation preferences, etc. These are important and necessary for use in workflows and activities but have little or no E and P semantics. |

VARCHAR2(64) |
| GUID | STRING128 | NA |
Globally Unique IDentifier for an instance of a class. USAGE NOTES: There are two cases: 1) GUID is not populated or used; and 2) it is populated with a value that is globally unique. If the GUID is populated there are two means of doing so for a given project: 2a) Seabed automatically generates and populates the GUID when an instance is created (valid only on Oracle based systems); and 2b) the GUID is generated and populated by an application (other than Seabed) on instance creation. Whether Seabed automatically generates GUIDs for a project is determined by the Auto_GUID flag in SDS_Account. Note that techniques 2a and 2b can coexist in the same project. When GUIDs are automatically generated an application can override the automatically generated GUID with its own GUID by simply supplying the GUID value. Applications that generate their own GUIDs and populate the GUID column will function correctly on projects which have automatic GUID generation turned on. | No |

| Num_High_Limit_Clip_Flag | boolean | NA |
A flagged value to show if the numeric parameter value is within the expected range for the parameter or if the value is equal to the high end limit and potentially represents a clipped, out of range, outlier. A 0 represents a NO response and states that the Num_Value is less than the upper limit range specified by the reference data. This is the default case. A 1 represents a YES response and states that the Num_Value is equal to the upper limit range specified in the reference data suggesting clipped data. | No 0 |
NUMBER(1) |
| Num_Low_Limit_Clip_Flag | boolean | NA |
A flagged value to show if the numeric parameter value is within the expected range for the parameter or if the value is equal to the low end limit and potentially represents a clipped, out of range, outlier. A 0 represents a NO response and states that the Num_Value is greater than the lower limit range specified by the reference data. This is the default case. A 1 represents a YES response and states that the Num_Value is equal to the lower limit range specified in the reference data suggesting clipped data. | No 0 |

When the partitioning option is selected for a Seabed database, different storage areas (i.e., tablespaces in Oracle) are created to handle different sized objects more efficiently. The relative size indicator helps determine which storage area to use within the partitioning scheme. | No |

A flag value that states whether or not this instance of the parameter is valid. This allows questionable data to be preserved for cleanup or validation at a later time. An example of an invalid parameter occurs when incoming data attempts to load an expected number with a string value. Another example occurs when a number value has an invalid or missing unit of measure. The flag value is 1 (YES) if the parameter is valid and 0 (NO) if the parameter is invalid by some test. The default value is 1, stating that the parameter is valid. Error messages or comments addressing invalid parameter data should be made in the Remarks attribute. | Yes 1 |
