About Engineering Work Orders

In Design Studio, Engineering Work Order is a unique instance of a Business Interaction specification. The Engineering Work Order Business Interaction specification is included in the ora_uim_workorder cartridge project.

In UIM, an engineering work order enables you to schedule resource infrastructure changes to occur simultaneously. Engineering work orders can be included in Web services, such as the Service Fulfillment Web service. Use the characteristics on an engineering work order to manage and organize the activities associated with the engineering work order. See Unified Inventory Management Concepts for more information.

You can extend the Engineering Work Order Business Interaction specification by adding characteristics to it. You must unseal the ora_uim_workorder cartridge project before you can extend the Engineering Work Order Business Interaction specification. See the discussion about upgrading and extending cartridges and technology packs in Unified Inventory Management Cartridge and Technology Pack Guide for more information about extending cartridges and technology packs.

Engineering Work Order uses the Business Interaction Specification editor.
