Creating New Order Item Specifications

To create new order item specifications:

  1. From the Studio menu, select New, select Order and Service Management, select Orchestration, then select Order Item Specification.

    The Order Item Specification wizard is displayed.

  2. In the Project field, select the project in which to save the order item specification.

  3. In the Name field, enter a name for the order item specification.

    The name must be unique among order item specification entity types within the same namespace.

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

    Design Studio uses the last saved namespace as the default.

  5. (Optional) Select a location for the order item specification.

    By default, Design Studio saves the order item specification to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:

    1. Click the Folder field Browse button.

    2. Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.

    3. Click OK.

  6. Decide whether to use the distributed order template for the order item specification and select or deselect the Support Distributed Order Template accordingly. It the order item specification is going to contain transformed order items, you must select this option. See OSM Modeling Guide for more information about the distributed order template and the order transformation manager. See "Referencing Items from a Distributed Order Template in XQuery Expressions" for more information about the format for referencing items in a distributed order template from XQuery expressions.

  7. Click Finish.

    Design Studio adds the new order item specification to the Solution view and Studio Projects view and opens the new entity in the Order Item Specification editor.
