Custom Analysis Types

Further custom analysis types can be added to standard out of the box ShiftLeft analyzers to allow customer specific functionality to be implemented.

In order to do this the relevant analysis table entries need to be maintained in:

• /BTI/TE_ANLTYPE
• /BTI/TE_ANLTYPEP
• /BTI/TE_ANREASON
• /BTI/TE_ANREAS_P
• /BTI/TE_ANRELINK

It is recommended to number any custom analysis types and reason codes starting with a ‘9’ to distinguish them from standard ones and to prevent them from being overwritten during upgrades. E.g. 9001

To implement an analysis type one of the standard ShiftLeft analysis function modules should be copied to a Z version so the framework and parameters can be copied and utilised.

The recommendation is to copy function module /BTI/TE_ANALYSIS_CHECKDATE as this utilises analysis parameters and custom field processing both of which are likely to be required in any custom analysis types.

Once the table entries and function module are available they will appear for use within the Transport Expresso configuration alongside the standard ShiftLeft analysers.
