Foreign Keys define a relationship between multiple Data Tables ensuring data integrity and
consistency, and reducing the cost of data management and complexity when querying,
usyally,Administrators can define a maximum of five Foreign Keys per child data table, as
there is a limitation of five indexed columns per data table.
Live Data Tables immediately reflect saved changes to table queries without a deploy.
The saved changes are immediately available for queries from SOAP APIs, REST APIs, BML
functions, Export, Bulk Download, and Migration.

Natural Key can be a single column or a combination of several columns that produce a
unique identifier for each record (row)
Natural Keys are supported in: Data Tables, Web Services API, CSV Upload and Bulk Upload.

Secure Data Table Columns provide a method for securely storing confidential credentials in
CPQ
Secure columns always store the encrypted form of the data in the data table. The only way
to access this data in its original, decrypted form is through BMQL.
result ="";
records= bmql("select Secured from dummyTable");
for record in records{
result= get(record,"Secured");
print result;}
return "";
The primary key is a unique value that identifies each record. ... A natural key is a single
column or set of columns that uniquely identifies a single record in a table,

we cannot bring the HTML into doc disigner

# Sensitivity: Internal Restricted

Answer
there is several ways which is PDF,DOCX,RTF,XML

1-Create a Document designer Template

2-Create a Printer friendly XSL view and map the document designer in it
3-Create a print or email action and link it to printer friendly XSL view.
whenever we click on the commerce transaction action which we created for the document desiner,
the document is available in front end.

Designer
The Document Designer editor’s intuitive user interface and drag and drop functionality makes
document design and maintenance fluid and efficient.
Engine
The Document Engine powers the Oracle CPQ Proposal Generator and the Oracle CPQ Contract
Generator.which will work on XSL coding.

# Sensitivity: Internal Restricted

Answer

1-Auto-Forwarding enables you to set up collaborative transaction handling

2-Whenever a document moves from one step to another, the system can fire auto-forwarding rules and
distribute transactions to one or more user groups or, to a specific user.
3-The thin line of difference is we are providing access and we are not restricting any access
You can schedule the system to automatically perform a Commerce action by using Timers
for Example-We will pass a timer to make the quote as inactive after 30 days

1-Transition rules we will create for move from one step to an other step when an action is clicked
2-Within transition rules we can also set up email, fax, or XML notification to trigger when an action occurs.
We can send the notifications from the define notications under the transition rule,Timers and dynimically
we can send through approvals
There are 4 sub set actions under the submit action
(request /reject/approve/Revise)
There are two approval flows
1)Serial
2)Parallel

Commerce actions trigger events within documents to occur

Bascially submit is set of commerce actions which includes
request for approval, reject, approve, revise.
once we click on submit, first it will check any aprovals are defined on it ,if defined it will go to request for
approval and if no Approvals are there it will be approved.

Parallel-In a Parallel Approver Sequence, both approvers have to approve the quote for it to be considered
"approved" and move to the next Step in the workflow.
This will be done majorly at same level of people EX-Sales Rep
Serial-In a Serial Approver Sequence, the quote must be approved by a first-level approver before moving on
to the next approver.
This will be done at different level of people EX- Sales Rep,Manager,Director

Answer

We are having a function in CPQ called Getconfigattrvalue

String getconfigattrvalue(String documentNumber, String configAttrVarname)
Validation Rule-Rules are linked to an action and only run when a specific action is
clicked by the user.
Constraint Rule-These rules are triggered based on an attribute change (AJAX).

1-Constraint Rule
2-Validation Rule
3-Hiding Rule
4-Filter Rule

The order of operations will be modified and perform as follows:

Simple validations will be evaluated

Simple modifications
Advanced modifications and auto updates will run.
Commerce rules will run (Hiding, then constraints, then validations).
Advanced validations will run. Inactive rules will show up in italics in the left panel
of the rule editor.

json
jsonput
jsonget
jsonremove()-->returns true if it removes key and object
jsonkeys()

jsonpathgetmultiple-->Returns the value(s)/path(s) from a JSON object
corresponding to a given JSON pa

str = "{\"key1\":90,\"key2\":[{\"key1\":900}],\"key3\":{\"key1\":9000}}";
arrayVals = jsonpathgetmultiple(jsonObj,"$..key1");

//Output: [90,900,9000]
Bmql ( select attr from transaction or trnsactionline)
Commerce rules will run (Hiding, then constraints, then validations).

Util BML Library - The functions in this library can be accessed and called
throughout CPQ.
We can call only system attributes
Commerce Library-The functions in this library can be accessed only in specific
Commerce Process and called throughout CPQ.
We can call only main ,sub document and system attributes as well

Advanced modification is run at the end and therefore can override the value set

5. BOM Mapping Rules

7. Recommended Item Rules
8. Bill of Materials Rules
The expected return format is:
(item1~quantity1~comment1~price1[~identifier]|^|
item2~quantity2~comment2~price2[~identifier2])

There are majorly 5 tables

BOM Item Definition Table-The BOM Item Definition Table stores the BOM hierarchical relationships
used in the fulfillment system, along with item variable references, which recursively link child items
to parent items.
BOM Item Mapping Table-The BOM Item Mapping Table associates BOM items to Configuration
attributes
BOM Attribute Definition Table-The BOM Attribute Definition Table stores attribute definitions and
attribute effective dates from the fulfillment system.
BOM Attribute Mapping Table-The BOM Attribute Mapping Table stores associations between BOM
attributes, Configuration attributes, Commerce transaction line attributes, and quantity values.
BOM Attribute Translation Table-The BOM Attribute Translation Table associates translations for the
applicable attributes.

Configuration Flows help arrange and organize configuration attributes to make Configuration user-
friendly.
Start Node: Where the Configuration Flow will begin. You can have more than one start node, so if
you plan on having multiple, this will be what you set your beginning nodes to.
End Node: Final node of the flow. This is where you'll see your action buttons like Add to Quote, as
well as any recommended line items. As with start nodes, you can have multiple end nodes. The
proper end node is set by attributes in the condition.
Start and End Node: Start and End Nodes are combined.
Transition Node: Transitions user from one node to another based on attribute selections.
Primary Start Node: When there is more than one start flow, this lets the application know to start
here first.
Primary Start and End Node: Primary Start and End nodes are combined.

Is the Configuration Cache deployed?

Use the Pipeline Viewer to view attribute values and the rules being fired.
Check Rules using the Debugger or favorite ID
Are all the Condition Attributes present in the Flow?
Is the Rule active? Look at the Overall Status on the Rule List page.
On the same Attribute different rules will be fired
It will happen if constrain and hiding rule on same attribute we need to write an associated
recommendation Rule to mitigate this,
either one of the rule should inactive can also resolve this.

# Sensitivity: Internal Restricted

Recommendation is used to set the attributes. Constrain is used to restrict the user from selecting
the options.
in the contstraint action we cannot use the sigle select pick list attribute
