    Table 45. Parameters for the Consolidation Export Business Service Method
    Parameter
    Required
    Description

    Filename

    Y

    The name of the export file.

    Repository

    Y

    The Siebel Repository name.

    LogFile

    Language

    Y

    The language used as the primary language to match when searching for duplicate symbolic strings. For example, suppose two symbolic strings each have 3 child records, an English (ENU), a French (FRA) and a German (DEU) record. If the Language parameter is set to ENU, then the consolidation export process searches for matches between the ENU records. When it finds matches, it checks the other child records of the other languages. If all child records match (or if one has a superset of the other) they are considered matching symbolic strings.

    MatchMin

    Y

    The minimum number of matches in a set of matching symbolic strings before it is written to the file. The default value is 2.

    SkipSBLStrings

    Y

    Possible values are True, False, or Master Only.

    When set to True, all strings starting with SBL_ in the name are ignored.

    When set to False, Siebel strings can be considered as master or deprecated strings. All Siebel and customer strings are included in consolidation.

    When set to Master Only, Siebel strings are not deprecated, but can be used as Master strings.

    Default value is True.
