FPSBASE.SCH_P_GROUP_PERM_RANKS

FACILITY

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. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.GEN_FACILITIES)

SCHED_GROUP

This is the grouping of tools and processes which the FPS Scheduler schedules together. Since this is a parent of tool via tool->process_group and a parent of process via process->process_group, by definition each tool and each process can only be in one sched group. We need all related tools and processes to be in the same sched group for efficient scheduling. One example is sinks and furnaces because of queue times and batching. Another example is for smaller facilities like Assembly or Test where we might schedule the entire facility together. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_PROCESS_GROUPS)

PERM_RANK

Permanent rank is typically loaded by ETL from a combination of the MES, recipe management system, and existing preference logic already used at the site. Possible values are in FPSADMIN.RTG_PERM_RANKS. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_TOOL_ASSIGNMENTS)

DESCRIPTION

Tool desciption. This value is only used to display in the Dashboard. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.EQP_TOOLS)

USE_IN_SCHED

SCHED_WEIGHTS

This is how much weight to give the chamber path rank. When populated, this will override the weights for chamber path rank and tool assignment rank. If null, then Scheduler will take the value from the configuration table SCH_C_GROUP_PERM_RANKS. example 1: ovr_sched_weights is 40 -> the chamber path rank will have a weight of 40, regardless of what ovr_ch_path_rank is. example 2: ovr_sched_weights is null and ovr_ch_path_rank == "A" -> the chamber path rank will get the weight for "A" from SCH_C_GROUP_PERM_RANKS example 3: ovr_sched_weights is null and ovr_ch_path_rank is null-> the chamber path rank will use the tool assignment rank and get the weight from SCH_C_GROUP_PERM_RANKS (* inherited from FPSAPP.SCH_W_H_S_CH_PATH_ASSIGNMENTS)
