Typically, service orders enter a provisioning flow via a driver-responder pair. Refer to the Fulfillment Provisioning Developer's Guide for details. A directory scanner scans a directory for a filename pattern and passes service orders from any matching files to a
RequestParser Plugin.
The DirectoryScanner module has built-in checkpoints. There is no need to use a checkpoint module with a
DirectoryScanner.
The provdriver::DirectoryScanner driver is integrated into the new
provdriver framework and therefore compliant with the high number of Service Order requirements. It periodically scans a directory for files, sorting them (by date and then lexicographically) and gives the content of each file to a specific framer (FileFramer). Subsequently, the FileFramer frames the file content using a regular expression (if needed) and transfers the resulting service order request to the parser plug-in. For more details of this module, refer to the interface documentation of component
prov, interfaces
provdriver::DirectoryScanner and
provdriver::FileFramer.
Refer to TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning Developer's Guide for instructions on how to access the component documentation.
