C2P provisioning late-breaking scenarios
View Patent ↗A system for managing circuit-to-packet provisioning late breaking scenarios. The system comprises an order entry system operable to receive orders for services, each order having a network type related to the order; a migrated system operable to manage provisioning services for orders received by the order entry system for services on packet-based networks; a non-migrated system operable to manage provisioning services for orders received by the order entry system for services on circuit-based networks; and an order control manager operable to reallocate orders between the migrated and non-migrated systems when the network type changes after allocating the order.
1. A method for managing circuit-to-packet provisioning late breaking scenarios, the method comprising:
receiving an order for services to provision;
determining a network type associated with a network to provision the services;
associating the network type with the order;
allocating at least some of the order to a first system based on the network type associated with the order, the first system operable to managing provisioning the services on the network;
determining that the network type associated with the network upon which the services are provisioned is different;
changing the network type;
reallocating the at least some of the order to a second system based on the change to the network type associated with the order, the second system operable to manage provisioning services on the network;
wherein the first system is a migrated system operable for managing provisioning of packet-based systems and wherein the second system is a non-migrated system operable for managing provisioning of circuit-based systems; and
wherein the order was initially associated with packet-based network type and subsequently re-associated with a circuit-based network type.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reallocating at least some of the order to the non-migrated system further includes:
removing the order from the migrated system and adding the order to the non-migrated system.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the order was initially associated with packet-based network type and subsequently re-associated with both packet-based and circuit-based network types.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the reallocating at least some of the order to the non-migrated system further includes adding the at least portion of the order to the non-migrated system.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
allocating the order, by an order control system, to the migrated system; and
reallocating at least the portion the order, by the order control system, to the non-migrated system.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving a CORBA message from the order control system allocating the order to the migrated system;
identifying that at least the portion of the order is for the non-migrated system; and
converting the CORBA message to a copybook message;
receiving the copybook message from the order control system allocating at least the portion of the order to the non-migrate system.
7. A method for populating orders to a migrated computer system operable for managing orders for services on a migrated network, comprising:
providing a non-migrated computer system operable to manage orders for a non-migrated network, the non-migrated computer system maintaining orders to provision services on the non-migrated network;
migrating at least a portion of the non-migrated network to the migrated network;
providing a module in communication with the migrated and non-migrated computer systems, the modules operable to identify the orders associated with the migrated network portion that are maintained by the non-migrated computer system;
populating the orders associated with the migrated network to the migrated computer system;
wherein the orders include network identifier portion to associate the order with one of the migrated, non-migrated, or both migrated and non-migrated networks;
analyzing the order maintained by the non-migrated system;
determining the association of the network identifier portion of the orders; and
populating the orders where the network identifier portion of the order associates the order with the migrated network.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the network identifier portion of the order is associated with both the migrated and non-migrated systems.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the network identifier portion of the order is further defined as data identifying the network whereon the services of the order will be provisioned.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the network identifier portion of the order is further defined as data related the network whereon the services of the order will be provisioned.
