Associating Service Actions with the Service Bundle

After you have defined a service bundle, you can associate service actions with the service bundle.

To associate service actions with the service bundle:

  1. In the Studio Projects view, double-click a Service Bundle entity.

    The Service Bundle editor opens.

  2. On the Service Actions tab, click Add to open the Service Action Selection dialog box.

    Using the Service Action Selection dialog box, you can either select or create a service action entity.

  3. Do the following to select a service action entity:

    1. On the Service Action Selection dialog box, select a service action.

    2. Click OK.

  4. Repeat the previous step to select additional service actions.

  5. Do the following to create a service action entity:

    1. Click New to create a service action entity.

      The Service Action Wizard opens.

    2. Enter an action or select a previously defined action from the list (for example, ADD, MOD, DEL, or QUERY).

    3. Enter a name for the entity (for example, SUBSCRIBER, GSM-SUBSCRIBER, ROUTE, TRUNK, or LINE).

    4. (Optionally) Deselect the Use recommended name and location to manually edit the name of the entity and browse for a location.

    5. Click Finish.

      In the Studio Projects view, the new service action entity appears in the Service Actions folder.

  6. Repeat the previous step to create additional service actions.

  7. In the Service Bundle editor, locate one or more service actions.

    You can reorder the service actions by highlighting the service actions and using up and down arrows in the editor.

    Additionally, you can manually enter interface parameters or import them from a sample upstream XML document. See "Mapping Upstream Interface Parameters to Service Action Parameters" and "Importing Upstream Parameters" for more information.

  8. When prompted to create upstream interface parameters based on service action labels, select Yes to automatically create upstream interface parameters based on the service action labels of the service actions that you have selected.

    The parameters appear in the Upstream Interface tab. A mapping between each upstream parameter and each service action parameter is created automatically.

  9. Navigate to the SA Parameter Map tab to view service action parameters. You can map the service actions to service bundles.

    This feature is useful if you do not have sufficient information on the upstream parameters (such as the exact parameter labels that are provided on the incoming XML). This feature assumes that the parameter labels required by the service action are the same as those on the upstream order. The selected service actions appear in the Service Bundle Details area of the Service Bundle editor with their associated attributes (sequence, service action name, condition, label, value, expression, vendor, technology, software load and action).
