The Offering Rules OSID includes rules services to manage rules and constraints applied to CanonicalUnits.

CanonicalUnitEnabler Rule

A CanonicalUnitEnabler governs the operation of canonical units. Active canonical units can be offered and disabled canonical units cannot be offered.

CanonicalUnitProcessor Rule

An CanonicalUnitProcessorRule is an OsidRule that manages the offerings of CanonicalUnits.

OfferingConstrainer Rule

An OfferingConstrainer is an OsidRule that manages constraints on the Offering by the CanonicalUnit.

OfferingConstrainerEnabler Rule

An OfferingConstrainerEnabler is an OsidRule that operates the enabling and disabling of an OfferingConstrainer through management of the CanonicalUnit effective dates. An OfferingConstrainerEnabler may modify the effective dates of an CanonicalUnit to make them effective at a fture time or expire them. An OfferingConstrainerEnabler that resurrects an expired OfferingConstrainer may create a new OfferingConstrainer with new effective dates to preserve the audit trail of effective OfferingConstrainers.

CanonicalUnitProcessorEnabler Rule

An CanonicalUnitProcessorEnabler is an OsidRule that operates the enabling and disabling of an CanonicalUnitProcessor through management of the CanonicalUnitProcessor effective dates. An CanonicalUnitProcessorEnabler may modify the effective dates of an CanonicalUnitProcessor to make them effective at a fture time or expire them. An CanonicalUnitProcessorEnabler that resurrects an expired CanonicalUnit may create a new CanonicalUnitProcessor with new effective dates to preserve the audit trail of effective CanonicalUnitProcessors.

Catalogue Cataloging

OfferingConstrainers, OfferingConstrainerEnablers, CanonicalUnitProcessors, and CanonicalUnitProcessorEnablers are also cataloged in Catalogues.
