Setting the app_config.js Properties
After you install Transact, you must set the several properties in the app_config.js file. This file is located in the Custom directory where you installed your Siebel browser-based application:
- Transact Active
- Transact URL
Table 1 describes all the Transact properties which you can modify in the app_config.js file.
Setting the Order_Subvar Configuration Variable
You must initialize the ORDER_SUBVAR variable that defines subitems in app_config.js file.
Siebel browser-based applications use the ORDER_SUBVAR variable to identify "items" in your feature table. Feature tables can store various kinds of data that applies to a product.
For example, a car may be represented by the features SKU, MODEL, COLOR, and CAR_ALARM. Now, if you want to use subitems on a bill of materials, you must first identify the column that represents the product as an "item." Before you make this distinction, every feature (SKU, MODEL, COLOR, and CAR_ALARM) is the same to Siebel eAdvisor. Once you define the ORDER_SUBVAR variable, you can identify which features are descriptive and should not be considered line items (such as COLOR), and which are actual items and should appear on a bill of materials (such as CAR_ALARM).
ORDER_SUBVAR should be set to the column name of a feature table which contains a part number or other information which identifies that item distinctly from other items in the feature table. If you set the ORDER_SUBVAR variable to "SKU," when a feature table contains a column named SKU, each row that has an entry in the SKU column becomes an item. In this scenario, a bill of materials would include parts for every row that includes SKU.
Note that subitems are needed only when a main level product is made up of other products.
Example:
var ORDER_SUBVAR = "SKU";
See Siebel Interactive Designer Administration Guide for more information on feature tables.
