Description Of Change |
|
CenturyLink will be introducing a new Application Programming Interface for EASE – ASR. There are no application to application functions that will be changing. This change is only impacting connectivity. The amount of customer impact is dependent on the type of customer connectivity that exists today.
UPDATE AS OF 09-13-18: CenturyLink is introducing a change in the EASE UOM gateway that will impact customers utilizing the UOM interface for EASE ASR processing. Customers who ONLY utilize the CenturyLink EASE VFO (GUI) application WILL NOT be impacted by this change. Although we expect minimal impact, CenturyLink will be reaching out directly to the impacted customers to discuss the change needed and set up a timeframe to complete the changes. ***********
CenturyLink will be working with each impacted customer to develop a transition plan and timeline.
Testing could begin as early as 1Q19 with a full implementation in production by November 2019.

This CR for a new API only impacts EASE UOM customers; it does not impact EASE GUI VFO customers.

There are no impacts to customers who only utilize the CenturyLink EASE VFO (GUI) application. The Draft Technical Specification System Notice will be issued on October 19, 2018.

It is only EASE UOM customers that are impacted. 9/19/18 System CMP Meeting Letty Walker - CenturyLink presented this new CR. She advised that CenturyLink is introducing an upgrade to the EASE UOM gateway API that will only impact customers utilizing the UOM interface for EASE ASR processing.

Letty said we could begin testing as early as 1st Quarter 2019 with a full implementation in production by November 2019. It is not a short turnaround. The intent is to provide as much lead time as possible. Mark Coyne – CenturyLink said we will send a 73 day System notice to relay the app to app changes likely by the end of September. He asked if there were any comments or questions. There were none.
