Product Administration Guide > Mapping eConfigurator 6.x Features
to Release 7.x >Designing Scripts
In release 7.x, the full Siebel API is accessible from within a script. See Siebel API documentation for more information on the Siebel API. Because the Siebel API is available, the number of eConfigurator-specific events and functions has been reduced in release 7.x.
In addition, the method for associating scripts with parts of a model has changed. In release 7.x, you associate a script with an item by writing the script on an event called for the product root. The event returns a matrix of records, one for each item that has changed in the solution. An item can be any product added to the customizable product from the product table. Events do not return changes to relationship quantities or resources.
If a customizable product contains other customizable products, another event is provided so you can write scripts on the child customizable product directly.
The Script Designer in release 7.x. does not provide a hierarchical tree display of the customizable product. In release 7.x, the Cfg ID of an item can no longer be passed as an argument. Instead, the name of the item as a string is passed. A name syntax is provided to allow you to uniquely specify a product name. Table 5 maps 6.x features to 7.x for designing scripts.
