Remarks

When calling TBD, the Service Management API waits one minute for a response. If no response is received the subscription is marked as being out of synchronization.

Asynchronous operations are supported. If the create operation will take more than a minute to complete, the resource provider can return 202 (Accepted) and set its internal representation of Subscription (Notification Endpoint Object).LifecycleState to Provisioning. Once the resource provider has completed the create operation, it should set its representation of Subscription (Notification Endpoint Object).LifecycleState to Provisioned .The Service Management API will check Subscription (Notification Endpoint Object).LifecycleState for operation completion every 10 seconds using TBD.
