Parent and Child Service Order Information
TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning provides the capability to retrieve the parent service order from the child order. The information about the parent is stored in the dataset of the child service order. Every service order has an associated dataset with the name:value pair. TIBCO Fulfillment Provisioning performs dataset evaluation using the dataset elements that it searches in the following order:
- The dataset of the current order
- The dataset of any parent Product Order, its parent Product Order, and so on
- The dataset of the Service Order at the top of the order hierarchy
The following is the key entry for the service order:
BASESODATA:parent = "ParentServiceOrderId"
The child service order has a preset value in its dataset, which indicates the parent service order. Adding the dataset feature requires configuration changes because the extra dataset feature is disabled by default. The dataset is populated with the data upstream in the flow primarily when an incoming order is parsed, or during order decomposition.
