Configure the validation criteria for variant rules

Variant rules must be valid to create and update the solution variants. Considering your business requirement, you can configure this validation criteria. If all conditions mentioned in Smc0IsVariantRuleValidForSolutionVariant are met, the Valid for Solution Variant column shows True and engineers can create a solution variant for the variant rule.

Procedure In BMIDE, navigate to Extensions > Rules > Conditions > Smc0IsVariantRuleValidForSolutionVariant. Double-click and open the Smc0IsVariantRuleValidForSolutionVariant condition. Update the condition by modifying its expression as needed. For example, suppose that you want the variant rule to be released with either the TCM Released, Approved, or Sanctioned workflow in order to be valid. In such a situation, write svr.release_status_list=INLIST("TCMReleased","Approved","Sanctioned"). Save and deploy the BMIDE project.
