FPSINPUT.SCH_P_RPT_DURABLES_NO_POD

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)

DURABLE

Durables are either reticles for Litho or probe cards for Wet or Sort. A durable can either be in a carrier or at a location without a carrier. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_DURABLES)

DURABLE_STATE

Durable state indicates the current state of the durable The value must be one of those defined by FPS in FPSADMIN.MHS_CARRIER_STATES. This is a short list of simple states like OK or WARN or DOWN in contrast to the complex options available for equipment states. This would be used as a filter/sort on what durables could be used for scheduling. For example, if there are two durables in the durable_family and one is OK and the other is DOWN then we schedule using the OK durable. But if there is only one durable in the family then we cannot schedule any lots which require this family if that lone durable is DOWN. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_DURABLES)

DURABLE_STATE_DISPLAY

The name of the durable state displayed on all dashboards and reports. Durable_state must match the FPS list defined in MHS_DURABLE_STATES but this display field might be formatted in a more familiar way to the users in the facility. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_DURABLES)

SLOT_NUM

The slot number the durable is occupying in its pod. This applies when a durable is stored in a pod that can hold multiple durables. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.RTG_DURABLES)

LOCATION

Location of a carrier or lot or durable which comes directly from the tracking system used at the site. This could be a port or internal tool location or tool or rack or stocker or zero footprint storage or room or really anywhere. Many non-automated sites allow users to manually enter locations into their system. Therefore unless we know for sure that the source data implements a size limitation, it is recommended to always trim the value in the ETL to 32 characters to fit into the column size and avoid load errors. For ports, location is the full name of the port which is unique across the entire site and usually includes the tool name. Please see the comment in the port column which explains the difference between location and port. Rack locations are similar. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.MHS_RACK_LOCATIONS)

STATION

The rack, bay, building, tool, cart, or stocker which has alternately acceptable stations (* inherited from FPSINPUT.MHS_STATION_ALTERNATES)

CARRIER

RFID of the cassette or FOUP the lot is currently in. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.MHS_CARRIERS)

POD_FAMILY

This column is optional and only applies to pods/durables and not cassettes/lots. Certain durables must be stored in a specific group of pods and this is designated with this column. (* inherited from FPSINPUT.MHS_CARRIERS)
