Hi Bahgat
In a classic provisioning flow, we would expect the following sequence (using TMF Open APIs, see the table of published APIs
here):
- BSS or experience layer to create and submit a Product Order (via TMF620)
- The implementation of Product Order API would among other things do Product => Service decomposition and submit Service Orders (via TMF641)
- Depending on the exact nature of each service, the implementation of Service Order API (some SOM) would among other things do Service => Resource decomposition (and/or CFS => RFS decomposition) and invoke any or all of Service Activation (TMF640), Resource Order (TMF652), Resource Activation (TMF702 - note that this API is not yet generally published)
- Each layer would also need to update its inventory (Service TMF638, Resource TMF639, Product TMF637)
Perhaps
@Ludovic Robert and
@Vance Shipley can add their perspective.
I think that we are missing overall end-to-end business flows for the Open APIs, but work is going on in the ODA project to create business flows,
@Sylvie Demarest and
@Alexis De Peufeilhoux might be able to give more information.
Hope it helps

Subject: Which Layer should call the resource inventory (Service activation/Service order)
Hello,
I'm working on a service activation system, I need to know what is the best practises for change the resource inventory status like reserve, active or deactivate.
should the request come from service activation or service order?
Is TM forum provide any documentation or diagram for activation flow?
