About Synchronizing Product Attributes

A product attribute is a characteristic of a product that contains two parts, the definition of the attribute including the name of the attribute, and the possible values of the attribute.

One or more attributes can be synchronized at a time. For example, you can define twenty attributes at once in Oracle Product Information Management Data Hub and release them all at the same time to Siebel CRM.

The parameters of a product attribute in Oracle Product Information Management Data Hub that are synchronized with Siebel CRM are as follows:

• Header fields
• Default Language Code
• Attribute values (name, effective date, Id)
• Display Name (if any)
• Description (if any)
• Domain
• Data Type
• Unit of Measure
• Values
• Auto Release flag

The specific fields that are synchronized are visible in the Administration - Product screen, Attribute Definitions view.

NOTE:  The Domain Type field value of FreeForm is not supported by the integration.
