Dear Community,
I am currently working on a service model to be supported in SOM that covers a site connectivity of a customer. Following the modeling best practices (incl. ODA IG1233), we came to a model where each Product is realized by a single CFS or Resource. However, we have now a use-case that we would like to validate with the community.
We are modeling a CPE Management Product (-> realized by CFS CPE Management) and a CPE Product (-> realized by Resource CPE). When the CPE Product is ordered in COM, an order for this Resource is directly sent to a supplier and the Resource entity data is filled in. The CPE Management Product will also be ordered when the customers expects the CSP to manage and configure this same device. In this case, the CPE Management CFS will be ordered to the CSP SOM layer. Now, on this order to the SOM (via TMF641), it is required to define the CFS but also its related Resource so that the SOM is aware of the type of device to configure.
The question now is:
Is it possible to use the ServiceOrder API (TMF641) to order a CFS and include a resourceRef (via supportingResource) directly on it? Or, for this API, is the resourceRef only usable in case of RFS order items?
Thanks.
