Subscriber Context Dataset

The subscriber context has its own dataset, which acts as a parent dataset of any attached service orders. Thus when POP is looking up parameters during product order processing, the subscriber context will be included in the search:

  1. look up the parameter in the product order dataset; if not found, then

  2. look up the parameter in the service order dataset; if not found, then

  3. look up the parameter in the subscriber context

This allows you to define parameters whose scope is global across all orders for a particular subscriber context.

Note:

It is possible to use the subscriber context simply to maintain these "global" context settings, without populating the origin context at all.
