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.

Observe the following guideline when specifying the product path: do not use the sequence #1 inside the product path. This sequence is invalid. For example, the following product path does 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
