Using a Custom Process to Create a Batch Provisioning Input File

You can optionally create a custom process for extracting provisioning data from your billing data file or other provisioning system source file into a provisioning input file for independent batch loading. The input file you create with the newly provisioned data must be in the specified format. Use the guidelines in this topic and the file formatting information specified in Implementation Guide for Oracle Billing Insight.

The provisioning file must include all of the billing objects that appear in the billing file, including new, updated, canceled, and deleted objects.

Once you generate the batch provisioning input file, you use the ProvisioningData Command Center job to load the provisioning data into Oracle Billing Insight. Provisioning data must be up-to-date in Oracle Billing Insight before you load the associated billing data.
