Enable Context Services

Enable Context Services

Simplify the sharing and consumption of business application data using Context Service. Acting as a generic module, Context Service forms a layer between applications and procedures, enabling easy retrieval and use of data across various industry clouds. Context definitions ensure efficient data access at every step of the process. A context definition defines the relationship between the nodes and the attributes within each node.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions of Revenue Management

Your users can use nodes and attributes to easily access the relevant data from the mapped data source. Salesforce products offer predefined context definitions based on their use case. See Context Definitions.

To grant users access to Context Service objects and features, see Turn On Context Service.

You can extend a standard definition and build on top of it. The extended definition preserves the components such as nodes, attributes, and mappings from the source standard definition. Preserving the standard components saves the time and effort required for duplicating the components. In addition, extended context definitions are automatically upgraded to their latest version. If automatic sync fails, the Sync button is enabled on the context definition’s details page. See Upgrade.

To ensure efficient data access to the pricing procedures used in Transaction Management and Transaction Management APIs, create context definitions. See Extend Sales Transaction Context.
