1. Chorus Portal System Changes November 2019

2. Overview What are we doing When
In preparation for a Chorus unbundled fibre product being launched at the start of January 2020, Chorus is making a number of small changes to the Chorus Portal. The changes outlined in this pack will be visible to RSPs but not used in any order processing until Chorus launches its unbundled fibre products. This pack focuses on the changes that will be made to B2B web services
For the most part the B2B web services associated with the PONFAS distribution product will work in the same way as layer 2 bitstream products. This pack outlines the changes made to support PONFAS distribution
Examples of the updates XML is included in the appendix.
When
We are looking to put these changes in production on 9 November 2019
Changes will be visible in EMMA on 17 September
Customers will need to ensure that the changes being introduced will not impact any current ordering processes for existing Chorus products.

3. Customer Changes (Unbundled Products)
What happens today
What the changes mean for you
The B2B call QueryProductOfferAvailability does not reflect the ‘unbundling capable’ value
The QueryProductOfferAvailabilityResponse.xslt has been updated to make use of a new “Unbundling_Capable” value from the Product Query Dialogue Service (PQDS) ProductOfferAvailabilityCheckResponse and populate this into the B2BDS QueryProductOfferAvailabilityResponse as a new ProductOfferingInteractionItemDetail element with a ‘name’ of “Unbundling_Capable”
The response value will be either “Y” or “N”
This value will be returned from 9 November
PONFAS Distribution is not a supported product family for current B2B queries
Any logic which attempts to validate or otherwise restrict functionality or the information that can be supplied or returned to specific Product Families only (i.e. 'Bitstream' or 'CSE') must be updated to include 'PONFAS_DISTRIBUTION" as a valid Product Family and treat it the same as 'Bitstream‘.
This includes the query ProductOfferAvailability Family Type filter to include PONFAS_DISTRIBUTION”
PONFAS Distribution will not use the current 1637xxxxxx product ID range
The PONFAS Distribution product will use the product ID range
The retain copper attribute is currently limited to the Bitstream product family
The existing GetOrder function / XSLT (which is used by many B2B functions to fetch COM Order data used for request validation & processing) should be updated to ensure it is not limited to 'Bitstream' and must be updated to also apply to 'PONFAS_DISTRIBUTION'
Valid handover connections are returned for Bitstream product family as part of the QueryOrderFeasibilityResponse
Where a Feasibility request is for an Unbundled Fibre (PONFAS Distribution) Product Offer the ‘handover connections; section of the QueryOrderFeasibilityResponse will be blank

4. Customer Changes (Unbundled Products)
What happens today
What the changes mean for you
A B2B exception code does not exist for CSE and product offer compatibility exceptions
A new B2B exception code (080) is included with the queryOrderFeasibility function and will be returned by the createorder response where the product offer and CSE are not compatible
Where {%s} is a variable to be replaced by the description value returned by the createOrder response – “CSE Validation Failure: The selected CSE is not compatible with the Product Offer ordered.”
A CSE is not required for a disconnect bitstream order aim
The disconnect order aim for a PONFAS distribution offer will require a mandatory CSE. The queryOrderFeasibility has been updated with a new exception code (081) returned by the createorder response
Where {%s} is a variable to be replaced by the description value returned by the createOrder response – “CSE Validation Failure: Disconnect Primary PONFAS Distribution Orders must include a CSE Offer.”
