About Modifying the Application Configuration File


Browser-based applications provide pricing information by resolving the relevant context-specific information to provide personalized prices. If the context-specific information exists in multiple variables during a session, certain variables have priority over others. To resolve variable values, at runtime the application executes the following algorithm:

  • Session-specific variable are identified using session profile attributes that were declared in Siebel Tools.

    For more information on personalization, see Using Siebel Tools.

  • Variable values available at the session level are calculated.
  • The values in the current quote or order override existing session values.

For information on the quote and order variables you can set in the Siebel application CFG file, see the Browser-Based Application File Reference chapter in Siebel Advisor API Reference.

In your Siebel application CFG file, you can also set the ISSCDAGetMyPriceFields variable to specify the field names to be returned to the GetMyPrice function. These fields appear in the Description field in the browser at runtime. These fields must be included in the profile attributes for the ISSCDA Get My Price virtual business component.

For more information on the Siebel application configuration variables, see the Browser-Based Application File Reference chapter in Siebel Advisor API Reference.
