Managing Service Provider and Application Accounts

This section describes how service provider and application accounts are managed and provisioned:

See Reference: Attributes and Operations for ApplicationAccounts for information on finding the operations in the Administration Console and for the name of the MBean.

Prior to registering application accounts, service provider accounts must be created (see Service Provider Accounts) and application groups must be created (see Application Groups).

Prior to registering service provider accounts, service provider groups must be created: see Service Provider Groups.

States of Accounts

In order to provide an easy way to temporarily take an application out-of-service, service provider and application accounts have associated states. States are also used by the Oracle Communications Services Gatekeeper Partner Relationship Management module to enforce workflow management.

Accounts can be in either one of the following states:

State transition is provided using:

It is possible to filter on account state in all the following methods:

When an account is created using Operation: addApplicationAccount or Operation: addServiceProviderAccount, state is always ACTIVATED.

Account Properties

An account can have a set of associated properties. These are generic key-value pairs.You cannot set these using the Administration Console, but you can use MBeans or the PRM Web Services.

The properties are displayed in the following operations:

Account References

An account can have an associated reference. The reference is a form of alias or internal ID for the account. It is used to correlate the account with an operator-internal ID.

The properties are defined as parameters in the following operations:
