Creating New Milestone Events

OSM generates milestone events by using the fulfillment states and external fulfillment states of orders, orders items, and order components to update the upstream systems about the status of orders, orders items, and order components. You create milestone events by creating and configuring Milestone Event entities.

To create new milestone events:

  1. From the Studio menu, select New, select Order and Service Management, select Orchestration, then select Milestone Event.

    The Milestone Event wizard is displayed.

  2. In the Project field, select the project in which the milestone event will be saved.

  3. In the Name field, enter a name for the milestone event entity.

    The name must be unique among the milestone event 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 milestone event entity.

    Oracle Communications Design Studio uses the last saved namespace as the default value.

  5. (Optional) Select a location for the milestone event.

    By default, Design Studio saves the entity 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. Click Finish.

    Design Studio adds the new Milestone Event entity to the Studio Projects view and opens the new entity in the Milestone Event editor.

  7. On the Milestone Event editor, click the Add button.

    Design Studio opens the Milestone Selection dialog box. This dialog box lists the milestone events that you can set up.

  8. On the Milestone Selection dialog box, select an item for which you want to create a milestone event and click OK.

    The Details tab and the Automation tab for the selected item are displayed.

  9. In the Details tab, specify the criteria for triggering milestone events for the selected event type.

    The fields and values displayed in the Details tab vary and are based on the selected event type.

    For information about the fields in the Details tab, refer to the corresponding Details tab topic for the selected milestone event type.

  10. In the Automation tab, click Add to configure an automation entry and then specify XQuery sender or XSLT sender details and the routing details in the Properties sub-tab.

    For information about the fields in the Automation tab, refer to "Milestone Event Editor Automation Tab".
