External XSLT Automator

The Automated Task editor external XSLT automator receives task data from an external system and optionally updates OSM order data. The XSLT has the following characteristics:

  • XSLT context in prolog: The input document for any automated task automation plug-in is the order data defined in the Automation Task editor Task Data tab. You can access this data by declaring the TaskContext OSM Java class. Always declare this class along with the context java binding. For example:

    xmlns:context="java:com.mslv.oms.automation.TaskContext"
...
<xsl:param name="context"/>

  • Prolog: You must declare ScriptReceiverContextInvocation in any external XQuery automator. Typically, you can use the getOrderAsDOM method to receive external messages and the setUpdateOrder method to update the order data. Always declare this class along with the automator java binding. For example:

        xmlns:automator="java:oracle.communications.ordermanagement.automation.plugin.ScriptReceiverContextInvocation"
...
<xsl:param name="automator"/>

    Oracle recommends that you use the standard Apache log class. Always declare this class along with the $log java binding.

    xmlns:log="java:org.apache.commons.logging.Log"
...
<xsl:param name="log"/>

    Another necessary declaration includes the xmlapi namespace, that you can use with the ScriptReceiverContextInvocation getOrderAsDom method to retrieve the order data for the task as a variable. This task data variable can be used in an OrderDataUpdate to update the order data with the data values received in the response message, if an update to the order data is required. For example:

    xmlns:oms="urn:com:metasolv:oms:xmlapi:1"
<xsl:variable name="taskData" select="fn:root(java:getOrderAsDOM($automator))/oms:GetOrder.Response"/>

  • Body: The body for an external XSLT automator can contain the following elements:

    • Any XSLT logic your plug-in requires, such as if-then or if-then-else statements that evaluate based on one or more parameters within the response message, or you might log a message.

    • A setUpdateOrder method statement that indicates whether there is an order data update. This method should be identical to what you selected in the Design Studio automation plug-in Properties View XSLT Tab Update Order check box.

    • A completeTaskOnExit method statement that completes the plug-in and transitions the task to the next task based on the status selected, if the plug-in is intended to end the task. Since there can be multiple plug-ins within a task, you would only need this method in the last plug-in listed. For example, the Failed status might transition to a fallout task, and the Succeed status may transition to the next task in the process.

    • An OrderDataUpdate statement that updates the order data based on the information returned in the response. See "Using OrderDataUpdate Elements to Pass Order Modification Data" for more information about structuring order update code.

    • Indexing: Order data in OSM often includes multiple data instances. For example, an orchestration order must include the ControlData/OrderItem and ControlData/Functions multi-instance nodes. Multi-instance nodes in solution cartridges are possible for any data element where the maximum cardinality of the node is greater than 1. When updating a multi-instance data node using automations use the node index to reference the specific node instance you want to update. The node index is available in the XML API GetOrder.Response. See OSM Developer's Guide for an example of a GetOrder response message with indexing.

The following example triggers different order data updates based on the status message returned from an external system. In this case, the external system is another OSM instance running in the SOM role:
