The RSOR (Regional Service Order Repository) System in Qwest client built around DB2 Database, which stores the service order information. The Regional Service Order Repository (RSOR) is a database that contains all service orders from 14 states of Qwest Networks. Service Order information is stored for 60 days. The reason behind the development of this new system is presently the following applications, HOR, EDS, OCS, CPR and IPM utilize the service order data but all of them store that in separate databases. The RSOR database will remove this duplication of data. RIC is another system under development is also using the RSOR database. Once the RSOR is fully operational the five applications mentioned above will be modified to use RSOR database. RSOR is batch system. The RSOR System receives the data from three Service Order Processor (SOP) - (SOPAD, SOLAR, RSOLAR). RSOR converts SOP data in to a single format and store in to a DB2 database. Customized reports from RSOR are available to all QWEST departments up on request. Service Order Data is transmitted from RSOR to Performance Analysis Network System (PANS).
