1:10 - 2:00 Oracle Product Configurator (Krishnan Sundaresan, Fujitsu Consulting)
Constraint Definition Language (CDL), in releases 11i10 and beyond, symbolizes the constraining relations between the items in a model as statements, thereby engendering the definition of complex rules for configuration management. This paper elucidates the various facets of CDL and provides a framework for its implementation, by illustrating it with an example. Concurrently, CDL is juxtaposed with the interactive rules definition used in earlier releases, thus enumerating its benefits and limitations.
