SOMBO - the order management system for EOSC Portal - is now in production. SOMBO is a powerful tool to handle orders received by the EOSC Portal and Marketplace.
The tool implements a distributed infrastructure with a central 'catch-all' instance, able to track and manage an order until its fulfillment and the delivery of the requested services, and interfaces to propagate orders towards third-party Order Management Systems where the orders will be managed.
Each provider joining EOSC can decide to leverage on the catch-all instance, benefitting of a dedicated view, or on its own order management system integrating it with the central system through an easy-to-use interface based on the ARGO Messaging Service.
The main features offered by the SOMBO system are:
The SOMBO order management system was developed by CNRS/IN2P3 (part of EGI) - under the leadership of Cyril L’Orphelin - and was delivered by the EOSC-hub project.
The EOSC Portal is operated by the EOSC Enhance (Grant Agreement no. 871160), EOSC-hub (Grant Agreement no. 777536), and OpenAIRE-Advance (Grant Agreement no. 777541) projects funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
