Profile options enable or change the behavior of certain features in the application. Following is a description of each of the system profiles used in this application, and their default values.

Profile Description Default Value
EGO: Attribute Group Sync WSDL URL Profile for Installation Specific Attribute Group Sync WSDL URL. This is used only when publishing Attribute Groups to other Oracle Product Hub systems. Null

Additional Information: Modify this profile value when publishing to other Oracle Product Hub systems as explained in Step 12 of My Oracle Support ID 1336146.1.

EGO: Enable exporting to Excel Governs the action of exporting search results.
Changing the value to Yes enables users to export certain search results data.
No
EGO: Enable GTIN Validation Governs whether GTIN validations are performed.
Changing the value to No disables all GTIN validations.

Additional Information: GTIN validations include:

  • Length is 14.

  • Contains a valid check digit.

  • Does not contain more than 6 leading zeros.

  • The third digit from the left in a GTIN must be 0, 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, or 9 when the second digit from the left is 0.

  • If a GTIN in a RCI message has six leading zeros, digits 7-9 must be between 301-968.

  • GTINs submitted in RCI messages cannot contain values 0980-0989 or 099 in the first 4 digits.

  • GTINs submitted in RCI messages cannot contain values 02, 04, 05, and 10-29 in the second and third digits from the left.

Yes
EGO: Enable GTIN Validation Validates whether an item has a unique GTIN.
Changing the value to No enables users to specify the same GTIN for multiple items.
Yes
EGO: Enable Oracle Collaborative Development Enables edit options for structures in HTML.
Oracle recommends leaving the value as No.
No
EGO: Enable Product Information Management Data Librarian Enables the use of Product Hub-specific features such as Import Workbench if the value is Yes. See: Setup Overview of Inbound Product Data Synchronization. No
EGO: Enable Product Lifecycle Management Enables the use of Product Lifecycle Management-specific features if the value is Yes. No
EGO GDSN Enabled Obsolete profile option. No
EGO: Internal User Default Role for Items Governs the default role that is set up for internal users who access items. This role is assigned to internal users for all items in the organizations to which the users have access.
Design Reviewer is seeded for Forms interoperability.

Additional Information: Forms does not have data security, so users must be given additional privileges on specific items (either directly or via inheritance) to perform actions on itemsC.


Users with the Design Reviewer role can view/access all item information. If you want to restrict access further, define a custom role and then reset the default role for all enterprise internal users.
It is recommended that you always specify a role that minimally has the View Item privilege.
Design Reviewer
EGO: Item Catalog Category Sync WSDL URL Profile for Installation Specific Item Catalog Category Sync WSDL URL. This is used only when publishing Item Catalog Categories to other Oracle Product Hub systems. Null

Additional Information: Modify this profile value when publishing to other Oracle Product Hub systems as explained in Step 12 of My Oracle Support ID 1336146.1.

EGO: ITEM RULE PROCESS SIZE During item import, all item business rules are applied at one time to a certain number of items, specified in this profile option, during one iteration. If the profile option value is left blank (null), the number of items defaults to 100 internally.
Adjust the number to achieve the best item import performance for your system configuration. This profile option applies to the following item import methods:
  • Importing Items Using a Spreadsheet

  • Import Workbench

  • Import Catalog Items


See: Managing Item Imports.
Null
EGO: Maximum Match Results In Import Workbench while importing items from external source systems, users can run Match Rules to discover existing items in PIM Data Hub that match based on the criteria defined in the Match Rule. This option restricts the number of matches the matching process finds for every item. The matches display in the Matching Items section within the Unconfirmed tab. 50
EGO: Maximum number of attribute groups in Search. This site level profile option specifies the maximum number of attribute groups you can use as search criteria and in display formats.

Caution: Increasing the value could result in slow item search performance.

5
EGO: Maximum number of attribute groups in UDA extension framework cache. This site level profile option defines the maximum number of cached attribute groups. This ensures that there will be no performance issues while creating new display formats at the parent ICC level even when there are more than 100 attribute groups and valuesets involved.
Changes made to this profile value are visible to all applications using the User Defined Attributes Framework. Entering a large value improves performance in Display Format, Criteria Template, and Search pages, but it also leads to larger memory utilization. Verify that your hardware has sufficient memory before increasing the value of this profile option.
100
EGO: Maximum number of rows for sorting Specifies the maximum number of rows to sort during an item search. If a search retrieves more than the maximum number of rows, the search results are displayed without sorting (a warning is displayed).

Additional Information: Specifying a value greater than 2000 may have a negative impact on search performance.

2000
EGO: Number of recent links to display Specifies the number of links to display in the Recently Visited list 20
EGO: Restrict actions in Item form Governs the Forms actions for items.
Set to Yes to ensure that data level role-based security is honored in Forms. When set to Yes users will be unable to access the following functionality in Forms:
  • Categories

  • Catalog

  • Revisions

  • Organization Assignments

  • Attachments (disables attachments)


Keep the default value No if you wish to make all actions available in Forms.
No
EGO: Stats Collection Threshold This option sets the threshold for the number of records at which the statistics collection program will be executed on the interface table. 100
EGO: Thesaurus for Matching Enables the use of a synonym search when matching incoming external items to Oracle Product Information Management Data Hub (PIMDH) items if the value is Yes. See: Creating Match Rules.
A thesaurus is not included by default in the database. If you load a thesaurus into the database, then set this option to Yes.
No
EGO: User Organization Context This option stores the organization selected by a user. When the user logs in to the system, the system retrieves the organization from this option and uses it for the session.
Change the organization stored in this profile option by using the Change Organization function within the Development Manager responsibility.
-1
EGO: Value Set Sync WSDL URL Profile for Installation Specific Value Set Sync WSDL URL. This is used only when publishing Value Sets to other Oracle Product Hub systems. Null

Additional Information: Modify this profile value when publishing to other Oracle Product Hub systems as explained in Step 12 of My Oracle Support ID 1336146.1.

Enable PIM for Telco Features This site (organization) profile option enables the use of telecommunications industry features such as item catalog category/value set versions and transaction attributes if the value is set to Yes. No
ENG: Internal User Default Role for Changes Governs the default role that is set up for internal users who access change objects. This role is assigned to internal users for all change objects in the organizations to which the users have access.
Reviewer is seeded for Forms interoperability.

Additional Information: Forms does not have data security, so users must be given additional privileges on specific change objects (either directly or via inheritance) to perform actions on change objects.


Users with the Reviewer role can view/access all information for a change object. If you want to restrict access further, define a custom role and then set reset the default role for all enterprise internal users.
It is recommended that you always specify a role that minimally has the View Item privilege.
