    Hi, 

    i trying to expose on the TMF640 to expose API for consumer to subscribe to VAS content. 
    Understand that the serviceState is referring to the state of the service whereby for my case, the mobile service should be ACTIVE by the time of VAS subscription. 
    As i exposing the service as async, how do i return the state of the service (in-progress) while the VAS is process of activation when the service is being query (GET)
    Assuming that the activation might take a while. 

    {
	"id": "6580008000",
	"requestId": "1116a666-6761-41fe-ab7c-ea4624b8fe15",
	"category": "mobile",
	"serviceType": "video-on-demand",
	"serviceDate": "2020-05-26T12:10:29.100+0000",
	"startDate": "2020-05-26T12:10:34.100+0000",	
	"serviceCharacteristic": [
		{
			"name": "service-partner",
			"value": "abc"
		},
		{
			"name": "subscription-period",
			"value": "30"
		}
	]
}​

    Hello Chio Chua,

    Probably this is related to another conversation in this board :)

    Because it might take a while and probably it could not everytime succeed I will prefer (if I have to manage this UC) to use the monitor pattern. This will allow to distinguish the service and service state from the request & request state.  The POST (or PATCH depending of your UC) will answer with an accepted request and a monitor resource creation. Delivery progress could be follow thru the monitor and monitor allows also to keep track of the request.

    Hope it helps
