Spanish term or phrase:invocación
The document has to do with a software application for the processing of prepaid phone cards for mobile phones, and the activation and deactivation of SIM cards.
My best guess is that 'invocación' is a 'call' to a method or process and that in many instances given below the best way to render it in English is to change it to the verb (such as in second example below, "Calling cancellation in MVNE triggers the process...)
But I'm not sure 'call' is the IT appropriate word in this context. Help from experts appreciated!
By the way, WS = web service and POS = point of sale. MVNE and HMNO are the two applications in question.
El par SIM-MSISDN se actualiza con un nuevo registro con estado=PR (siempre que el último estado sea diferente a ‘PR’), Motivo=CAN y Fecha de preactivación (se debe tener en cuenta que en este caso no es posible diferenciar la invocación desde el POS por timeout del MVNE habiendo completado en el MVNE todas las tareas de activación o por devolución.
La invocación de la cancelación en el MVNE desencadenará el flujo necesario para cancelar la activación y la recarga en el HMNO.
El POS realizará la invocación de los servicios de Activación, recarga, cancelación de activación y cancelación de recarga.
La aplicación se hará mediante la invocación del WS de Recarga del HMNO.
En general, toda la información acerca del tipo de invocación (autenticación, certificados), parámetros de entrada y evaluación del objeto de respuesta se detallará en la fase de diseño técnico.
Correcto, tal como se puede ver en el diagrama, en cuanto el MVNE obtiene la respuesta a la invocación de la operación Credit en el HMNO, responde al POS con ese número de autorización.
Tal como se detalla en la explicación, la tarea de creación de cuenta(s) en el MVNE implica validar si ya existe una cuenta de tipo Cliente para la cédula recibida en la invocación desde el POS.
CreateMobile: se invocará al método CreateMobile de la GW de Tigo para proceder a la pre-activación del par MSISDN-SIM, y poder hacer futuras activación del pack
En ambos casos, el POS del Retailer deberá invocar la operación ReverseActivation del Web Service MobileGateway del MVNE.
I was at first skeptical of this suggestion because it's so literal, but after viewing your reference and then taking the research further, I discovered you are right. It also set me on the right path for other IT terms in my document that I thought were too literal translated directly, but this often seems to be the case in IT, even if it doesn't sound like proper English to my ears! "Call" would be appropriate in other situations. I found this: "Java Remote Method Invocation Application Programming Interface (API), or Java RMI, is a Java application programming interface that performs the object-oriented equivalent of remote procedure calls". The key in my case being that I am indeed dealing with objects being passed. Thanks to all! 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
