Open APIs

Hi All

I noticed that the JIRA request (below) to attempt to resolve the translations/mappings between product/service/resource characteristics remains unresolved (although it seemed to be planned for gen5 APIs).  Has a decision been made that the characteristic value relationships were insufficient for the majority of decomposition use cases?  IG1233 refers to rules which I presume would be referenced by the new policy sub-resource (currently at the product layer only).

[AP-1444] Need mapping between characteristics (and values) in PSR catalogs - TM Forum JIRA

Thanks in advance!

PS: there is still a reference to this JIRA issue within the IG1228 use case 008 - Postpaid Mobile Line example

Thanks @Rati Mehrotra for this reference.​

@Lynn Dueck please note that the Open API catalog APIs are somewhat lagging behind the SID in representing product-to-service-to-resource mapping. For example, in TMF620 I have on ProductSpecification a reference to the possible realizing service specs and resource specs, but I have no information on which to choose (if more than one), or how to map characteristics or characteristic values. The SID does include characteristic mapping information, although even in the SID I'm not sure that complex mapping rules are represented, perhaps @Cecile Ludwichowski can comment.
In the context of the ODA, some work is being done on best practice modeling, and @Sylvie Demarest might be able to explain this in more detail.
Hope it helps.

Hi Lynn,

You may want to refer to GB922 Catalog document which provides more details on the catalogs and relationships.  A snippet below :

What view does TMF have on the product to service mapping? Is there a flow which shows how this happens and what TMF apis are involved?
I don't see anything in the 620 (product catalog) nor 633 (service catalog) that deals with mapping.

thanks
Lynn
