About the Service Orders Page

The Service Orders page is an inventory of service orders that Paragon Automation has generated for provisioning or deleting network services. A service order specifies the type of operation that you want to implement for a service instance. Paragon Automation generates a service order when you perform the following operations:

Create a service instance—A create service order is generated when you create a service instance.
Modify a service instance—A modify service order is generated when you modify an existing service instance.
Delete a service instance—A delete service order is generated when you delete or deprovision a service instance.

When you save a service instance the service instance is uploaded to the Paragon Automation database. The uploaded service instances are listed on the Service Instances page. To provision a service, you must select a service instance that is uploaded, and publish by clicking the Publish button on the Service Instances page to generate the service order.

Each type of service order has a corresponding workflow that Paragon Automation activates after you publish a service instance. For example, when you publish a newly added service instance, Paragon Automation activates the create workflow to provision the service. Similarly, the modify and delete workflows are activated when you publish a modified service instance and delete or deprovision a service instance respectively. Paragon Automation processes only a single service order for a service instance at any given time. If you publish more than one service order for a service instance at a given time, the additional service orders are queued.

The Service Orders page lists all service orders that Paragon Automation has generated for onboarding and offboarding devices and for creating, modifying, or deleting network services and resource pools. You can view details such as the service order name, execution state, execution status of the tasks related to the service order workflow, and so on.

To access the Service Orders page, click Orchestration > Service Orders.
