Defining Orchestration Preferences

To define OSM orchestration preferences, from the Window menu, select Preferences, then expand Oracle Design Studio in the Preferences navigation tree, then select Order and Service Management Preferences, and then select Orchestration Preferences.

Use orchestration preferences to set options related to orchestration.

Field Use
Product Specification Mapping Folder Specify the folder in which Design Studio is to store product-specification-to-fulfillment-pattern mappings.

When you import common model products or OSM orchestration product specifications, Design Studio creates (in the resources folder of the cartridge project) a productSpecMapping folder that contains all product-specification-to-fulfillment-pattern mappings. You can reference this folder location in XQuery expressions when you configure the order item properties for the orchestration fulfillment pattern. If you want to maintain the productSpecMapping folder at an external location (and reference the folder using a Data Instance), specify the location of the folder here. See "About XQuery Expressions for Mapping Product Specifications and Fulfillment Patterns" for more information.

Prompt To Create Orchestration Data Dictionary Specify whether you want to be prompted to create the OracleComms_OSM_CommonDataDictionary model project in your workspace; this model project contains a predefined data schema which is recommended for modeling data structures used by orchestration. If you select the check box, Design Studio prompts you to create the model project in your workspace when you open or create an orchestration entity.

See "About Autogeneration of Order Component Control Data" for more information about this model project.
