Abstract

A system for and method of provisioning chain queuing and processing. Chain queuing and processing defines and supports ordered provisioning of requests to be sent to network elements that either contain information on behalf of one another or are for a network activity that requires the presence of a properly provisioned record to perform an action. In contrast to conditional queuing that determines a provisioning need at the time of transaction execution, chain queuing may include a complex execution plan determined at the time of queuing based on a plurality of processing and dispatching rules. These rules may be based on a concept of one provisioning request being a prerequisite for at least one subsequent event. In other words, a parent-child relationship may exist between two or more resulting transactions derived from one request. These parent-child relationships may then be incorporated into dispatching, queuing, and processing rules to create a fully detailed execution plan.
