Order Service

Order Service is a new feature for Sterling Order Management System Software. Order Service advances IBM's modular business service vision for the Sterling Order Management System Software platform by building more robust and scalable order search and archival capabilities by utilizing a modernized technology stack and architecture. Order Service is deployed alongside Sterling Order Management System Software to provide enhanced functionality as part of an expanded solution footprint and comprises of two components; Order Search and Archive Service.

Order Search provides faster access to order data with a more robust query language and reduces the workload on core Sterling Order Management System Software application servers by moving it to a scalable and highly available repository. Order Search uses Elasticsearch to store key order data and makes it available through a set of GraphQL APIs.

Archive Service enables customers to retain a greater amount of historical order data by offloading it to an optimized storage repository, reducing the Sterling Order Management System Software database resource requirements while still providing seamless access to the data. Archive Service uses Cassandra to efficiently store large amounts of order data and makes it available through a set of GraphQL APIs.

Order Search and Archive Service both include configurable and extensible functionality, allowing customers to tailor the features to meet their requirements. The Order Service components are deployed by using Kubernetes operators and include built-in integration with Sterling Order Management System Software, making installation and data sync quick and easy.

Order Service is available for Sterling Order Management System Software containers, and distributed only to users who are entitled to Sterling Order Management System Software containers. You can install, configure, and deploy the Order Service images in Sterling Order Management System Software Professional or Enterprise edition.
