Hi Tom, Thanks. Thats what i figured. I will try it out and post if i have any questions. I also agree that this is a very cumbersome way of setting the configuration, and will only get worse once we add more functionality. Regards Soham
_____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Bostelmann Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 7:46 AM To: Developer Subject: Re: [Mifos-developer] Lookup Enity - value addition - for interesttype calculation Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of documentation for configuring a LOOKUP_VALUE. We're also in the midst of reviewing this code so changes and documentation may come out later. In the mean time, If you look the latest-data.sql, you find that we're setting the ID's manually, being careful to use a unique number. Hopefully that answers your main question. Let me know if it doesn't. As a side note for discussion, this is a good example where I think we need to get away from using numbers as ID's - especially DB generated, sequential numbers. In this case we should assign a property-type key and use a naming convention similar to our properties files. In a more general sense, there are many more areas where this conversion should take place. More good examples would be Offices, Personnel as well as the many places where we're storing enumerated types (!) - i.e. LoanTypes. This issue is a major factor in upgrading the database, migrating data to/from, and many refactoring issues. -Tom On Nov 13, 2007 10:27 PM, Soham Dhakal < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Hi all, With regards to the functionality http://www.mifos.org/developers/wiki/DecliningBalanceInterestCalculationWith EqualPrincipalInstallment I need to add a configuration value for interest type calculation.. I did find on the wiki how to add configuration which relates more to enabling/disabling a feature/funtionality So my question, Is there any documentation around doing this? E.g. how the id is assigned(generated) for the LOOKUP_ID, is it from a pool/bucket or is it the next sequential avialable number (where do I find this) I see the relation to LOOKUP_VALUE_LOCALE which is self explanatory, and also INTEREST_TYPES however please let me know if there is some gotcha Thanks for your help Soham ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
