Service Object Initialization
If you are configuring an existing product context to be a service product, be aware that Object Initialization Rules (OIR) can enable Windchill Service Information Manager features for your context.
Windchill Service Information Manager OIRs are usually set on specific objects, and begin with SIM.
* 
A SIM Authoring Language OIR is commonly used throughout service structures to set the Authoring Language default value when creating new objects. If the value of the com.ptc.core.td.localeForNullAuthoringLanguage xconf property has been set, then the Authoring Language attribute defaults to that language. If the value of the com.ptc.core.td.localeForNullAuthoringLanguage xconf property has not been set, the Windchill server locale will be the default Authoring Language property selection.
OIR for autonumbering is set automatically by the Windchill Service Information Manager installation, described in Autonumbering for Service Subtypes
OIR can set the default value for the Location and Default Content Location attributes when creating information groups and publication sections for service structures.
OIR can set custom default folders for information structures and publication structures, described in Service Folder Defaults
For more information on OIR configuration, see Understanding Object Initialization Rules.
