Fetching inventory availability from Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility

You can fetch the inventory availability from Sterling™ Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility.

The Sterling Order Management System Inventory Adapter supports the implementation of OMPGetInventoryFromCacheUE user exit (UE) for which the class is com.ibm.iv.adapter.IVReadCachedAvailabilityUEImpl_v1. When you implement the application-provided IVReadCachedAvailabilityUEImpl_v1 UE, it invokes the IVReadCachedAvailability service that fetches the inventory availability from Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility.

The IVReadCachedAvailabilityUEImpl_v1 considers the input, sets some default attribute values, and invokes a custom API for network or node level. The IVReadCachedAvailabilityUEImpl_v1 transforms the user exit input XML to a valid input to IVReadCachedAvailability service.

Note: In the Applications Manager, the service name references provided in this topic adheres to the <InventoryOrgCode_>ServiceName<_ActivatorVersion> naming convention.

The getAvailabilitycache, getItemListForOrdering and getCompleteItemList APIs call the OMPGetInventoryFromCacheUE user exit that fetches inventory availability from Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility.

Note: If you are using the Sterling Intelligent Promising Inventory Visibility integration adapter that is installed by using Functionality=SIV, ensure that you use the

class
com.ibm.iv.adapter.IVReadCachedAvailabilityUEImpl

implementation class.
