SWI Special Rating - Synchronize Process

This workflow calls a proxy business service to query and synchronize an updated Special Rating List with the external Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management application.

Figure 31 shows this workflow.

This workflow is called when a user clicks the Synchronize button in the Accounts Screen, Profiles view, Special Rating Profile subview, and then Special Rating List applet.

Workflow Description. This workflow performs the following actions:

1. Query Special Rating List. Queries the modified Special Rating list details with Special Rating list ID and active Special Rating list items. Derives the value of the UTCCanonical input parameter for this step from the UTCCanonical process property. The default value of this property is N. If the value passed is Y, then the query returns data for any field of the type DTYPE_UTCDATETIME in UTC Canonical format.
2. Synchronize. Synchronizes the special rating details through an outbound Web service call.
3. Update List Synch Date. Updates the value of the Last Synchronized Date field to the current timestamp for the updated special rating list.
4. Update Items Synch Date. Updates the value of the Last Synchronized Date field as the current timestamp for each of the updated special rating list items.
