Oracle CPQ 24B introduces the new Config Operation Context (_config_operation_context) configuration system attribute to identify the operation that initiated the current Configuration session. This read only system attribute will reflect unique values for new configurations, reconfigurations, search flows, and ABO Modify actions.

The Config Operation Context system attribute is available for use in all Configuration Rule type conditions and in BML advanced conditions and/or actions. For example, when a Config Operation Context attribute is selected in a simple condition, the possible values (new, reconfigure, modify_asset, and search_flow) can be selected in the Values drop-down.

Config Operation Context Attribute in Configuration Rules

The Config Operations Context attribute can be used in Configuration Rules to allow Administrators to better manage the configuration experience if necessary. For example, if an administrator would like to define a rule that should only execute for a new configuration, or resulting from a modify asset action, they can use this new attribute to control execution.
