Delta Analyzing Rules

As Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog performs its delta analysis, it evaluates each TPO using a set of built-in rules. The following table shows the rules that apply when subscriber context analysis is in use:

The TP is:

create

update

delete

Not in the target context

OK

error

error

In context, with delete pending

note 1

error

error

In target context

error

OK

OK

note1 - if the delete dataset is contained in the create dataset, the result is ignored; if datasets are different, the resulting verb will be update_verb.

Note:

On error cases, Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog rejects or removes the TPO. On removal, a trace message is raised.

Note:

When a technical product is added in TargetContext, Fulfillment Provisioning Catalog checks for incompatibilities. If any are found then the whole SO is rejected.
