Before an Oracle Commerce property can be used in EQL requests, the property must be configured appropriately.
To enable a property for record filters, open the property in the Developer Studio Property editor and check the “Enable for record filters” attribute.
Use the Property editor’s Search tab to configure the property for record search and wildcard search. To use dimensions in Oracle Commerce Query Language queries:
All dimensions are automatically enabled for use in EQL record filter expressions, and therefore do not need to be enabled for record filters.
Dimension names (and therefore the names of root dimension values) must be in the NCName format. Names of non-root dimension values, however, do not have to be in the NCName format.
If you are using a search interface with EQL requests, the name of the search interface does not have be an NCName.
