Hi,

I'm wondering about the context of errorMessage - is it required to persist the errorMessage as part of the service order or it can be used just for event purposes (build it when error occurs and attach it to event payload, use it as non-persistent sub-object)?
In case we don't persist it, we won't have errorMessage in GET serviceOrder response.

In case we store it, what should happen if the same order receives a new error during later processing steps?
Should new error be appended to existing errorMessage structure or overwrite the whole errorMessage structure - should GET serviceOrder return only the latest error or complete history of errors?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Goran

Hi Goran

It's an implementation decision whether to persist or not.
Regarding history of errors, I don't know what to tell you. The top-level service order supports only a single error message, but contained order items can have a list of error messages.

P.S. this was initially introduced by your Ericsson colleague @Kamal Maghsoudlou, so you might want to consult with him.​

Hi Jonathan,

thanks for sharing your thoughts, I also understood there's certain amount of freedom to interpret the whole concept.
It would be good if some of the members can share the actual implementation and what drove them to a specific design and decision.
