SBL-CFG-00168: An operation was attempted which is illegal with model version zero. This is an internal Siebel Product Configurator error.

Applies to:

Siebel Tools - Version: 7.5.3.17 [16285] - Release: V7
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

We have extended table S_PROD_ITEM addaing a new column X_WLC_PKG_PROD_ID with Foreigh Key table S_PROD_INT

On The BC Product Bundle we have created this field, and a (left outer) join to s_prod_int on this field. we have then joined name from s_prod_int through this join. on this field we have set a picklist (based on internal product bc) created a pickmap. Finally we have added this field onto the "Product Bundle List Applet" with a pick applet alos based on internal product.

When trying to pick anything through this applet, the underlying bc "product bundle" becomes read only, and an error occurs ( we are never allowed to pick the product).

Cause

BUG 10548452

Solution

For the benefit of other users:

Implementing customer objects into the standard application reproduced the error and read only behavior.
It was found out that using the Internal Product as the Business Component for a picklist used by the Product Bundle BC causes this behavior.
Using a copy of the Internal Product instead resolved the behavior.
