  • 1.  Payloads in CTK

    Posted Mar 28, 2022 10:26
    1. Payloads in CTK have only minimum/mandatory attributes as per specification.
       What if our implementation has other mandatory attributes ?
       Can the postman collection be modified to add extra mandatory fields ?
    2. Our understanding is, we can give payloads in config.json to add our mandatory fields.
        But the QuoteManagement API(TMF-648) CTK doesn't have config.json. 
    3. In the ProductOrdering API(TMF-622), even after adding custom payload to the config.json, pmtest.json is NOT getting updated with that payload.

    How do we add extra mandatory fields in the payloads?

    Hi Rajesh
    This is a delicate issue. On the one hand, if the API conformance defines attributes as optional, it means that a consumer expecting to meet a conforming implementation will "know" that it doesn't need to send those attributes. And then when it encounters your implementation with these attributes as mandatory it will fail.
    On the other hand, vendors and other API implementers may want the freedom to define additional mandatory attributes for the proper functioning of their business.
    It's best taken up with the CTK focal @Henrique Rodrigues, who can hopefully explain how to adjust the CTK to support additional mandatory attributes and yet still achieve a positive conformance result.
    Hope it helps​

    Hello @Rajesh pundru​

       Can the postman collection be modified to add extra mandatory fields ?

    It is not a problem for your implementation to have extra mandatory fields.
    Any CTK published recently will have a config.json file. This file can be used to extend the headers, or the Payload that will be sent on the POST request, for APIs where POST is mandatory.

    I will investigate 2 and 3 and get back to you by e-mail.

    Best Regards,

    Hi @Henrique Rodrigues

    We are also facing the same issue #3 described above ​​​(3. CTK fails even after adding custom payload to the config.json) when running TMF638 Service Inventory API CTK.

    We tried to pass a couple of internal mandatory parameters for POST operation in config.json, but they seem to be ignored once CTK runs causing failure. Is there an issue with this CTK or are we doing something wrong? 

    Appreciate your help
    Regards,
