Defining Business Services for Rule Checkers

The Compound Product Validation Engine business service executes the cross-product validation rules for a compound product and returns any rule violations. The product administrator defines the rules for each of the compound products.

Table 137 shows the rule-checker business services that are available without any product customization.

This task is a step in Process of Defining Compound Products for a Network.

To define rules for a compound product

1. Navigate to the Administration - Products screen.
2. In the Products list, click the name of the compound product.
3. Click the Product Validation view tab.
4. In the link bar, click Validation Services.
5. In the Validation Services list, add a new record for each rule checker to execute and complete the fields described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Sequence	The sequence in which the rule is executed.
   Business Service	Name of the business service that implements the rule.

6. In the Parameters list, specify the parameters and values that are specific to the selected rule.

   The Compound Validation Engine passes these values to the PreValidate and Validate methods of the rule checker business service. For more information, see the topic about creating custom rule checkers in Siebel Product Administration Guide.
