  • 1.  TMF652 - Why does it have 2x ResourceSpecificationRefs

    Hi Community,

    I noticed today, while taking a first look into the TMF652, that the resource model defines the usage of a ResourceSpecificationRef two times and I don't get the usecase for this. Can someone explain to me the difference and when to use which attribute?

    Here is a small example for a ResourceOrder as far as my current understanding goes:

    {
      "id": 42,
      "@type": "ResourceOrder",
      "orderItem": [
        {
          "id": "1",
          "resourceSpecification": {},
          "resource": {
            "resourceSpecification": {}
          }
        }
      ]
    }


    When to use orderItem.resource.resourceSpecification and when orderItem.resourceSpecification?

    Thanks - any hints are much appreciated.

    Hi Jan
    I don't know how it is in the published Swagger, but in the schema for ResourceOrderItem in our working area, the reference to resource spec looks like this:
    "resourceSpecification": {
    "$comment": "Deprecated: Can be accessed from the resource",
    "$ref": "ResourceSpecificationRef.schema.json#/definitions/ResourceSpecificationRef"
    },
    From which I conclude that you should not be using this attribute, instead use the reference from the Resource instance embedded within the item.
    I imagine it will disappear if and when the API is re-released in V5.
    Hope it helps
