Parameter Setting

Parameter values can be set directly in the process diagrams, so that further parameterization of process and activities can be possible without requiring complex additional configuration.

A technical product order is associated with a group of work orders. The product order flow describes the activation sequence within that group. Activating a technical product order involves executing its product order flow, which activates the work orders in the flow.

When the Fulfillment Provisioning application is fully configured and begins provisioning, service orders flowing through the system are passed to Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog for decomposition, validation, and enrichment. The incoming service order has a set of product orders attached. The product orders and the service order to which they are attached contain data sets that parameterize the orders.

For details, see Creating Parameters section in the TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning Developer's Guide.

Tasks Performed by Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog:

1.

authentication - if domain definition requires it, Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog checks requestor is known and has granted rights to process incoming product orders.

2.

decomposition - Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog decomposes each product order into the technical product orders specified in the Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog configuration.

3.

validation - Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog validates the incoming parameters for each technical product order.

4.

early enrichment - for product orders belonging to a domain that has early enrichment enabled, Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog enriches the data now.

5.

Delta Analyses - used to optimize the technical product orders that are to be provisioned (this is optional).

6.

rule application - Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog applies the rules configured for each technical product order; this may result in orders being added, deleted, replaced, or reordered.

7.

authentication - this is performed again if domain definition requires it, Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog checks requestor has granted rights to process newly created product orders.

8.

flow attachment - Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog attaches the appropriate product order flow to each technical product order.

9.

late enrichment for product orders belonging to a domain that does not have early enrichment enabled, Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog enriches the data now.
