Creating New Order Lifecycle Managers

If you are using the Order Lifecycle Management UI, you must create a new order lifecycle manager in Design Studio for each order. You also map fulfillment states to order lifecycle manager states (referred to in the UI as order fulfillment states). The state mappings are system-wide and can all be located in the same order lifecycle manager as the configuration for one of the orders, or you can create a separate order lifecycle manager that contains only the fulfillment state mappings.

To create an order lifecycle manager:

  1. From the Studio menu, select New, then select Order and Service Management, then select Orchestration, and then select Order Lifecycle Manager.

    The Order Lifecycle Manager wizard is displayed.

  2. In the Project field, select the project in which to save the order lifecycle manager.

  3. In the Name field, enter a name for the order lifecycle manager.

    The name must be unique among Order Lifecycle Manager entities in the same namespace.

  4. In the Namespace field, select an existing namespace or enter a unique namespace in which to include the order lifecycle manager.

    Design Studio uses the last saved namespace as the default.

  5. (Optional) Select a location for the order lifecycle manager.

    By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or click Browse to select a different location.

  6. Click Finish.

    Design Studio adds the new order lifecycle manager to the Studio Projects view and opens the new entity in the Order Lifecycle Manager editor.

  7. Do one or both of the following:

    • To configure the properties that appear for an order in the Order Lifecycle Management UI, use the Properties tab.

    • To configure mappings between fulfillment states and order lifecycle manager states, use the Fulfillment State Mapping.

      Note:

      Ensure that the mapping for a particular fulfillment state is only configured in one order lifecycle manager.
