About GSM Service Provisioning Flags
GSM services use the standard BRM status attributes: active, inactive, and closed. In addition, GSM services include provisioning flags that indicate provisioning status.
Service orders often include multiple provisioning requests. For example, a service order might include provisioning requests for the following:
-
The bearer service.
-
One or more supplementary services.
-
A voice mailbox.
In some cases, only some of the provisioning requests in an order can be completed, while others fail. In most cases, if a service can be configured so that the customer can at least perform some activities, the service order status is successful. In that case, the remaining provisioning requests can be completed later. Your business policies or your provisioning configuration might be different. For example, you might specify which services or supplementary services must be provisioned before an account can be created.
You can use the provisioning flags to customize your business policies, use event notification to trigger e-mail, or write status changes to a log file.
If provisioning or unprovisioning fails, you must perform the provisioning operation manually on the network, or complete the processing in the provisioning system. You cannot resend the provisioning service order.
Table 2–2 lists the GSM service provisioning flags.
