Adding a New Fulfillment Mode

This topic describes design steps to add new fulfillment mode.

To add new fulfillment mode:

  1. Import all of the component cartridges to be included in the solution into Design Studio.

    For example, this might include a sealed base cartridge, Billing cartridge, Provisioning cartridge, Fulfillment Pattern cartridge, and Product Mapping cartridge.

  2. Create a new Order and Service Management project to host the new fulfillment function.

    See "Creating New Cartridge Projects" for more information.

  3. In the Order and Service Management Project editor Properties tab, deselect the Standalone check box.

    This allows the cartridge to be referenced in the composite cartridge as part of the solution (rather than as a standalone cartridge with no dependencies).

  4. Add a new fulfillment mode.

    See "Creating New Fulfillment Modes" for more information.

  5. Create a new recognition rule that recognizes the new fulfillment mode inside either the new cartridge or an unsealed existing cartridge.

    See "Creating New Recognition Rules" for more information.

  6. Add the new fulfillment mode to the base orchestration fulfillment pattern or to any applicable orchestration fulfillment patterns.

    See "Orchestration Fulfillment Pattern Editor Details Tab" for more information.

  7. Model the orchestration plan for the new fulfillment mode for all of the affected orchestration fulfillment patterns.

    See "Orchestration Fulfillment Pattern Editor Orchestration Plan Tab" for more information.

  8. If you do not already have a composite cartridge to use, create a new Order and Service Management Composite project.

    See "Creating New Cartridge Projects" for more information.

  9. Add the necessary cartridges, including the cartridge you created for the new fulfillment function, to the Dependency tab for the composite cartridge.

    See "Project Editor Dependency Tab" for more information.

  10. Ensure that the appropriate orders, fulfillment patterns, and recognition rules are included in the manifest for the solution cartridge.

    See "Composite Cartridge Editor Manifest Tab" for more information.

  11. Package and deploy the composite cartridge.

    See "Packaging and Deploying Orchestration Cartridges" for more information.
