Updating the shipping policies for small orders

In this lesson, you will implement a change in the shipping policies for small orders.

Clips and Tacks made a business decision to update the shipping policies for all domestic shipping including small orders. You will implement Change 1 to the Clips and Tacks policy. The following table represents the Clips and Tacks service-provider endpoint capabilities (assertions) and use cases for service consumers for Change 1.
Table 1. Clips and Tacks service-provider endpoint capabilities and use cases for Change 1

Order Size = SMALL and Order Type = DOMESTIC   X  
Order Size = Large and Order Type = DOMESTIC   X  
Order Type = INTERNATIONAL     X
  1. Switch back to the Business Services perspective in WebSphere® Integration Developer. Remove the InternalShipping endpoint by right-clicking InternalShippingEndpoint and selecting Delete.

      Order Size Assertions
      You have created an instance of this assertion type and associated it with this endpoint. There is now a row for this assertion in the table.
    4. In the Capabilities table, clear the check box in the Required column for OrderSizeAssertion with a value that equals LARGE. Save your work.
    5. Verify that you have three rows in the Endpoint Capabilities assertions table and close the editor.

  3. Simulate Change 1 by following the steps as outlined in the section Simulating the initial shipping policies, changing the values of the Test Verify Shipper selection page to the following values:
    • CountryAssertion = USA
    • PostalCodeAssertion = 30324
    • TotalPriceAssertion = 10

    Then click Run. The Simulation Operations panel shows only green check marks and the BetterShippingEndpoint is selected. After observing the simulation results close the simulation tab without saving it.
