FPSAPP.RTG_QUEUE_MULTI_AREA_BASE

LOT

VARCHAR2(32)

N

A lot is a group of units that process together. Usually lot_id or lot_number in MES. All units in a lot are in the same carrier but there may be multiple lots in a carrier. (* from FPSINPUT.WIP_LOTS_STATIC)

TIMER_ID

NUMBER(9)

N

Unique number representing the queue timer to index with other tables. Automatically populated with RTG_QUEUE_TIMERS_ID_SEQ sequence. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_QUEUE_TIMERS)

ALWAYS_ALLOW_Q_WHEN_DOWN

CHAR(1)

Normally we do not allow lots to start at the first step in a queue timer sequence if there is a step in the sequence that has no tools available. But if this flag is set to Y then we will allow lots to start even when all tools are down at this process. Typically this is used for a process that we know we can skip but the est_smp_pct might be above the smp_pct_to_allow_q_when_down threshold set for the facility in GEN_FACILITIES. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_PROCESSES)

CURR_QTY

NUMBER(6)

Current qty of the lot using quantity unit of the current facility. (* from FPSBASE.WIP_FLUSH)

CURR_STEP

VARCHAR2(256)

N

CURR_STEP_ENT_INST

DATE

N

END_STEP

VARCHAR2(256)

The step upon move out where the WIP balance limit is no longer applied (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_STEP_BALANCE)

END_STEPS_AWAY

NUMBER(4)

END_STEP_COMP_INST_IF_TCT

DATE

EST_MACHINE_RECIPE

VARCHAR2(100)

Estimated machine recipe what we estimate will be the machine recipe based on information from the Recipe Management System. It is used in combination with process for throughput calculations and setup change penalty calculations. It is not necessary to estimate for all processes since this is always used in combination however it needs to be NA rather than blank since it is part of the primary key of most THP tables. Hopefully when this is not NA it should match the actual machine recipe logged for each lot during processing. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_TOOL_ASSIGNMENTS)

EST_SMP_PCT

NUMBER(5,2)

N

Smp_pct tells you what percentage of the lots complete on a tool. Some sites skip steps by jumping over them so we see the lot move from step 3 to step 5 and we only know that it jumped step 4 because step 4 is on the route between 3 and 5. Other sites skip steps by moving lots into them and then moving them out a second later so we see a move from 3 to 4 at 11:11:11 and a move from 4 to 5 at 11:11:12. We do not care how it is done but just that the lot did not process at step 4 -- and to be more specific that no tool capacity is required to process this lot at step 4 and no cycle time is accumulated at step 4. (* from FPSBASE.WIP_GOAL_LOT_SHIFT)

EXPIRED_INST

DATE

EXPIRED_INST_PLUS_TCT

DATE

EXPIRED_SEC

NUMBER(7)

Seconds from the start event until queue time restriction is expired. After expiration, the lot must rework or scrap or otherwise be evaluated. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_QUEUE_TIMERS)

FACILITY

VARCHAR2(6)

N

Facility is included in almost every join in the DWH so this represents a definitive split. A route must have all steps on tools in the same facility. A tool must process all lots in the same facility. If your site has multiple buildings where lots run on routes using tools in multiple buildings then everything should be one facility. For example, multiple Fab buildings. But if your site has independent facilities like Fab and Test and Assembly where lot may progress from one to the next but on different routes then these should be different facilities. Since this column is in virtually every table it is critical that the value here is exactly matches what is in the MES if the MES has facility. Use facility_display for the display friendly name displayed in applications. See site_name comment for client/site/facility example. (* from FPSINPUT.GEN_FACILITIES)

IS_STAGING_STEP

CHAR(1)

We expect large amounts of WIP and long cycle times at staging steps. We still calculate cycle time like any other step but the important difference is that lots currently at a staging step are not counted as normal coming lots to future steps. Instead we show them in a special column labeled From Staging. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS)

NUM_STEPS_AWAY

NUMBER(4)

Number of steps away not including steps which we know will be skipped nor those which we estimate will be skipped at least x pct of the time. This x value is configurable in GEN_FACILITIES using the smp_pct_for_num_steps_away column. (* from FPSBASE.WIP_STEP_FUTURE)

PROCESS

VARCHAR2(50)

N

Process defines what occurs at a step. Different steps can share the same process if they are identical. Process should normally determine allowed tools and recipe although it can be overridden by step, route, prd, lot, and experiment for exceptions. Each process is dynamically assigned to one or more eqp_type-process_family combinations with use_pct. One process_family is determined to be primary. If grouping is done correctly, a process should only be one eqp_group with no crossover. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_PROCESSES)

PROCESS_FAMILY

VARCHAR2(50)

See https://help.inficonims.com/display/DW/Guide+to+Process+Families. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_PROCESS_FAMILIES)

PROCESS_SUBFAMILY

VARCHAR2(100)

Route step family is used for the Dashboard to separate processes in a process family based on shared but limited assignments. It is also the base for GP subfamily. (* from FPSBASE.RTG_ROUTE_STEPS_PLUS)

QUEUE_START_INST

DATE

ROUTE_OF_END_STEP

VARCHAR2(256)

RWK_IF_EXPIRED

CHAR(1)

Indicates whether rework is required after queue timer expires. If allowed, we need to specify the route and step that we expect the lot to move into for rework. (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_QUEUE_TIMERS)

SCHED_CH_TO_USE

VARCHAR2(24)

Please note that the Scheduler often populates this with M which indicates the main tool therefore we often should filter out a value of M when using this value since that it not a valid chamber combination. When this is populated with any value other than M then we use this as est_ch_used rather than calculating with GET_CH_ALLOWED_STATUS or GET_CH_PATH_STATUS. (* from FPSBASE.WIP_STEP_FUTURE_SCHED)

SCHED_QTY_IN_JOB

NUMBER(7)

SCHED_START

DATE

The first start time for the durable to be used (* from FPSBASE.RTG_DURABLE_FUTURE_SCHED)

SCHED_TOOL

VARCHAR2(16)

the tool from the first lot that scheduled (* from FPSAPP.SCH_W_SCHED_DURABLE_INSPECT)

START_STEP

VARCHAR2(256)

Start step that will impact the future thread step rank in RTG_TOOL_ASSIGNMENT_LOT (* from FPSINPUT.RTG_STEP_THREADING)

XFACTOR_RQD

NUMBER(4
