1 Getting Started with Design Studio for OSM Processes

When modeling orders, you can use Oracle Communications Design Studio to define new order fulfillment processes, tasks, order types, and order policies that control the order type life cycles. Design Studio enables you to test your Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) configurations and resolve configuration problems.

The OSM provisioning configurations that you create in Design Studio enable you to provision orders across multiple service and network domains. Design Studio enables you to define, execute, and control service orders for any domain, including Broadband access (for example xDSL, fixed wireless, WiMAX), IPTV, VoIP, Voice, IP-VPN, Mobile, and emerging services. You create these configurations in Design Studio by defining and relating objects at different levels of abstraction.

Note:

If you upgrade to Order and Service Management 7.x from a prior version of OSM and your cartridges were developed with OSM Administrator tool, Oracle recommends that you migrate your cartridges into Oracle Communications Design Studio. Use Design Studio as the tool to design and deploy OSM 7.x cartridges. The recommended migration procedure, common migration issues, and issue resolutions are documented in release 7.3.2 Design Studio Order and Service Management Cartridge Migration Guide, which is available in the Oracle Help Center:
