You create order components to represent a system interaction with a local fulfillment system. The order component contains all of the data needed by the downstream system subprocess to complete the fulfillment task.
To create new order component specifications:
From the Studio menu, select New, select Order and Service Management, select Orchestration, then select Order Component Specification.
The Order Component Specification wizard is displayed.
In the Project Name field, select the project in which the order component specification will be saved.
(Optional) In the Extends field, select an existing order component specification if you want the new order component specification to extend the functionality of an existing order component specification. Extending from an order component causes the child order component to inherit data elements, external fulfillment types and some other data, but does not cause the child order component to inherit data like permissions and duration, since those settings would be specific to the child order component. You will see the inherited information in the editor for the child order component specification.
Click Select to open the Select Extends dialog box, where you can select an existing specification. If a suitable order component specification does not yet exist, click New in the Select Extends dialog box to create the order component specification. When finished, click OK. Your selection populates the corresponding Extends field in the Order Component Specification wizard.
In the Name field, enter a name for the order component specification.
The name must be unique among order component specifications within the same namespace.
In the Namespace field, select an existing namespace or enter a unique namespace in which to include the order component specification.
Design Studio uses the last saved namespace as the default.
(Optional) Select a location for the order component specification.
By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:
Click the Folder field Browse button.
Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.
Click OK.
Click Finish.
Design Studio adds the new order component specification to the Studio Projects view and opens the new entity in the Order Component Specification editor.
