A signal can be triggered through UI buttons—with the standard Siebel Invoke Method—or it can be triggered specifically by business services or business components.
- The Context Service business service acts as the data broker for other C/OM modules, such as Pricing, Eligibility, Product Recommendation, Promotion, and so on.

The Context Service business service provides APIs for constructing a property set from the current ordering context and synchronizing changes to that property set back to the source. It includes the following methods:
