Handling business agreement updates when orchestration is unavailable
The patent US12067533B1 describes a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores instructions for managing updates to business agreements requiring orchestration across multiple external systems. The process begins with the receipt of a signed update indicating changes to services provided by these external systems. If the orchestration system is determined to be unavailable—either due to unresponsiveness or failed submission of the signed update—the system tracks the signed update and any additional updates received during this downtime. It merges the changes from these updates and, once the orchestration system becomes available again, freezes the additional updates and sends the merged changes for orchestration.
The claims further specify that the business agreement may pertain to telecommunications service deployment and can involve multiple sites. The orchestration system is designed to interface with various external systems to facilitate the orchestration process. The patent outlines specific conditions under which the orchestration system is deemed unavailable, including failure messages during submission. This innovative approach allows for the handling of updates even when the orchestration system is temporarily out of service, ensuring continuity in managing business agreements and service changes.
