SBL-CFG-00109

Hello!

I am currently trying to apply all constraints on a customizable product and some of them base on default product selection. As I have learned from similar topics found in SupportWeb, setting up product with Default Cardinality is not considered by configurator engine as an addition operation. Therefore I wanted to use script with Cfg_InstInitialize event, which should provide default values. Unfortuanately I can't make it work (product is not selected) after starting configuration session in our DEV environment. I have made a small test, creating a simple instance of customizable product both in Sample and DEV environment. The above mentioned script works well in Sample. Could you please advise, how could I overcome this problem.

Best regards

For the benefit of other users,

we could reproduce the behavior. AddItem on event CFG_InstInitialize generates following error:
CfgScript 0 3408 3740 C:\Programme\Siebel\7.8\web client\log\CfgScript.log 7.8.2.3 [19221] ENU
Error    Error    1    0    2006-10-23 12:28:12    
AddItem:
    path=1,
    port=Cables,
    name=CFG Cable 15m,
    qty=.
Mismatched brackets in following part of the path: 1
Please correct the error and try again. (SBL-CFG-00109)

The error comes from the new eScript engine and is fixed with 7.8.2.5 Fix Pack. Siebel has two JavaScript engines in the product, the newer one being called Strongly Typed engine has defect CR#12-1FZLBNF, which leads to using Parent Object Path instead of quantity.

Alternate workaround:
- In Siebel Tools goto Business Services "Configurator Session Service"
- Write a server script on event "Service_PreInvokeMethod":
function Service_PreInvokeMethod (MethodName, Inputs, Outputs)
{
    if (MethodName == "ScriptRequest")
    {
        if (Inputs.GetProperty("RequestType") == "AddItem")
        {
            // check whether no quantity is set and set it to 1
            var a = Inputs.GetProperty("Quantity");
             if (a=="")
                 Inputs.SetProperty("Quantity","1");
             else
                     if (toNumber(a)== 'NaN')
                             Inputs.SetProperty("Quantity","1");
        }
      }
   return (ContinueOperation);
}
