Fulfillment Provisioning fulfills a service order in the following
sequence:
Procedure
Fulfillment Provisioning receives the service order from the
service management application and then parses it into an optimized internal
format.
The service order passes through a series of modules that validate
the order, enrich the data in the order, and attach and sequence the tasks
required to implement the order.
Tasks are translated to cartridge commands and sent to the
respective cartridges for execution.
When all necessary tasks are complete, Fulfillment Provisioning
consolidates its results and composes a response to the initial service order.
This response is then sent back to the service management application that
initiated the request.
If errors occur anywhere in the provisioning and activation
process, Fulfillment Provisioning rolls back partial work to an acceptable
state. While this provisioning and activation process is taking place, you can
administer the process through the web-based user interface. Administration
capabilities include operational control, system configuration, alarm
management, log access, and system upgrades.
