Summary

Subscription State is not updating quickly enough. If we want to extract its current status right after modification by using MODIFY_SUBSCRIPTION function, we should use the following approach to get the state.

Question

Subscription State is not updating quickly enough. If we want to extract the status of subscription after using MODIFY_SUBSCRIPTION function, please refer to the following method. 

A use case would be as follows:

We have to rename and change group ownership and to achieve that we have implemented a flow, which is waiting until the subscription status becomes ACTIVE and then executing the rename subscription.
And then we get the error that the state of the subscription is not in ACTIVE/MODIFICATION_FAILED and therefore the modify subscription action is not allowed. But the OO run report retrieves the status as ACTIVE.

Answer

The real reason, is that the Subscription State is not updating enough quickly.
If we need abstract state of the subscription we have to use the service instance state checking instead of subscription state.

Here is the solution:

Please replace the call getSubscription detail with the following REST API

GET /csa/rest/artifact/?userIdentifier=&scope=base&detail=basic

And you will get a response payload similar to the one below

Extract the serviceInstance State by parsing the xpath serviceInstance/serviceInstanceState/name
