Attaching Originator Data

In a provisioning flow, routing a service order to specific modules according to the service order origin is a common need.

A simple way to fulfill this purpose, is to set the sortToken attribute of the service order, so that the Sorter module can route the service order.

When a service order is created in a client adapter context, the client adapter looks for its sortToken attribute and, if it is not set yet, updates it with the client adapter name. This value is a reasonably good default value.

Notice that if users want to set a value different from the client adapter name as the sortToken, such as the service management system id, the client adapter framework will not override this value.
