About Order Modeling Users and Tasks

The following is a list of roles and the tasks each role typically performs in Design Studio for OSM processes:

Business Analyst Tasks

Business analysts are responsible for describing the features and services associated with marketing products and communicating this to the users responsible for building these products. The business analyst may simply name and describe products and pass this product description to a configuration modeler, or may perform basic configuration modeling tasks in Design Studio. This involves the following tasks:

Configure OSM cartridges	"Working with OSM Cartridge Projects"
Model processes	"Working with Processes" "Working with Order Lifecycle Policies"
Model roles	"Working with Roles"

Configuration Modeler Tasks

OSM modelers are responsible for creating, modeling, refining, building and deploying an OSM cartridge. This involves the following tasks:

Task	For More Information
Create OSM cartridges	"Working with OSM Cartridge Projects"
Model processes	"Working with Processes" "Designing Subprocesses" "Designing Workstream Processes"
Model roles	"Working with Roles"
Model Tasks	"Working with Manual Tasks" "Working with Automated Tasks"
Model Orders	"Working with Orders" "Working with Order Lifecycle Policies"
Refine processes	"About Task States and Statuses"
Build, deploy, and undeploy to and from development environments	"Packaging and Deploying OSM Cartridges"

Deployment Manager Tasks

Deployment managers are responsible for build management and are usually advanced users of the version control system. Deployment managers should be familiar with the tools that Eclipse provides to interface with the version control system and understand how to package items from source control and build and deploy configurations to OSM environments. Activities performed by deployment managers in Design Studio include:

Task	For More Information
Build, deploy, and undeploy to and from development environments	"Packaging and Deploying OSM Cartridges"
Configure the development environment	"Packaging and Deploying OSM Cartridges"

See the Eclipse documentation for more information about version control.

Cartridge Developer Tasks

Cartridge developers assist OSM configuration modelers in modeling and refining an OSM cartridge. This involves the following tasks:

Task	For More Information
Model the Data Dictionary	"Modeling Data"
Model Tasks	"Working with Manual Tasks" "Working with Automated Tasks"
Model Orders	"Working with Orders" "Working with Order Lifecycle Policies"
Refine the process	"About Task States and Statuses"
