Product configurator version

The Product Configuration (PCF) module is flexible and can be used to set up very complex structures. However, when the structure becomes more complex, system performance gets worse.

To specify the product configurator version, use the Product Configuration Parameters (tipcf0100m000) session. If you select Object Version in the Product Configurator Version field, system performance improves significantly.

The Object Version is available for the operational situation. During runtime, constraints are directly carried out by the product configurator as objects, without the need to repeatedly read in and interpret or compile constraints. Compared to the interpreter version, the object version considerably improves performance, especially in complex constraints. Prior to using the object version, all constraints must be compiled in the Compile Constraints by Configurable Item (tipcf2201m000) session. For this purpose, you need the compiler 'bic6.2' of Enterprise Server.
