About Product Names in Siebel Configurator Scripts

Several scripting methods have product name as an argument. Product name in this context means the name of a component product you have added from the product table to a customizable product. You must specify product names in a way that makes them unique. You do this by specifying the product name, vendor name, vendor location, and attribute values.

Specify product names using the following syntax:

{ProductName; VendorName; VendorLocation}; AttributeName1=Value1; AttributeName2=Value2; ...

Observe the following guidelines when specifying product names:

• ProductName is required. All other arguments are optional.
• The order of items in the name is important. ProductName must be followed by VendorName. VendorName must be followed by VendorLocation. You cannot specify ProductName followed by VendorLocation.
• If ProductName is unique, you do not have to include VendorName or VendorLocation, and you do not need to enclose ProductName in braces.
• Do not use the sequence #1 inside the product path. This sequence is invalid. For example, the following product path will not work: $.[EXH SLCT-#1101 10X10 INLINE]#1.[CARPET, SPECIAL CUT (EX SEL10x10)]#[CARPET, SPECIAL CUT (EX SEL10x10)]

The following are examples of product names:

• {ProductName; VendorName}; AttributeName=Value
• ProductName; AttributeName=Value
• ProductName
