Merging Option Sets
To support nested configurable products, Windchill provides the Merge Option Sets action to merge the option sets of lower-level configurable products with the option set of top-level configurable product. While merging, the order defined in the lower-level option set is retained for the choices and options. Options from the lower-level option set are placed after options from the top-level option set.

Ability to merge option sets is an advanced capability subject to a separate license entitlement.

Enabling the Merge Feature
Use one of the following methods to enable the feature:
• Add the given property in the site.xconf file:
<Property name="ato.optionset.merge.delegate" targetFile="codebase/wt.properties" value="com.ptc.windchill.option.service.DefaultOptionSetMergeDelegate"/>
• Add the given property in the xconfmanager utility to update the site.xconf file (Recommended method):
xconfmanager –s ato.optionset.merge.delegate=com.ptc.windchill.option.service.DefaultOptionSetMergeDelegate -t "codebase/wt.properties"
After adding the given property, ensure that you propagate the changes to the properties file using the xconfmanager utility.
For more information, see Using the xconfmanager Utility.
Restrictions and Limitations
• Configurable products should use only one level of nesting.
• Only local conditional rules should be defined for the option sets that are assigned to the lower-level configurable products.
• Only advanced expressions should be assigned to parts, usages, and occurrences.
