Demo flow
1. Log in to Service Orchestrator
2. Select and deploy service blueprint
3. Execute service workflow to send the service activation
request to the ICM
4. Log in to Pro-Vision to show the created, active service
5. Go back to SOF and execute the updated service
workflow: Modify BW profile
6. See the updated service in Pro-Vision
7. Go back to SOF and execute the updated service workflow: Add
another endpoint
8. See the updated service in Pro-Vision
9. Back in SOF, execute the uninstall workflow to delete the service
10. Move back to Pro-Vision to show the removed service
