  • 1.  TMF 620: Characteristics and Relations

    Hello,
    I noticed that on the TMF620 modeling for Product Offering, we don't have these two elements:

    - Product Offering to Product Offering relationship: We could use this relationship to indicate optional products for instance.
       I can see relationship of bundled product offerings there but, no relationships outside the boundaries of a bundle.
       Is this a possibility that will be considered in the future or, this is not supposed to happen?

    - Product Offering Characteristics: Characteristics or properties that are on the PO level rather than on the PS level
      I can only see mentions to characteristics hosted on the Product Specification element.
      From TMF perspective, can't we have characteristics defined on the Product Offering itself?

    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Marcos

    Both of these items are the subject of (rather old) JIRA issues in the Open API project.

    For various reasons we did not deal with them in the previous Product Catalog API refresh, and Product Catalog has not been on the current Open API priority list.
    I'd like to believe that we will deal with these and additional issues the next time we decide to refresh TMF620, presumably for V5.0 - not sure when this will be.

    Hope it helps
