SWAP Subscriber Resource

The CRM / Ordering system updates a Resource on the Subscriber in the OCS.io via the RESTful API. The Resource identifies usage of the Subscriber in the OCS.io. In Telco world, typically MSISDN, IMSI, but may also be Username, E-Mail, etc. By term SWAP is meant, that old Resource will not be used any more and new comes effective.

The request body contains old and new Resource details. The OCS.io updates the instance of the Resource, then returns Business Transaction containing updated Resource as a payload of the response. Other systems may be notified about the Business Transaction via the Streaming Platform.
