Field Use

Order Item Properties

Configure the order items required during the orchestration plan generation. Order item properties are name/value pairs. You configure an XQuery expression to extract from the source element the value of the property. Click:

  • Add to enter the name of a new property.

  • Remove to delete a property.

Note: Order Item Properties cannot be Data Structure Definitions, which means that the name of the Order Item Property cannot be the same as the name of a Data Structure Definition within ControlData/OrderItem in the order template.

Location

In the Location field, you can map the corresponding property to a specific data node under ControlData/OrderItem in the order template. The node to which you map the property does not have to have the same name as the property itself.

Click Select to select a data node from the order template.

Property Expression

You configure an XQuery expression to run against the order item property and extract the property value. Additionally, you can define a Data Instance behavior to obtain data that is not included in the order data and make that data available to the XQuery expression. See "Order Item Specification Editor" and "About Order Item Specification Order Item Property XQuery Expressions" for more information.
