    I am pretty new with the TMF 641 APIs.I follow the tmf swagger.

    1 - What is the difference between listener api and hub api.
    2- Does the id present in response of listener is same as hub api response id.

    I attached the response.

    Hi Shivan,
    the listener is a service (Observer in GoF pattern) provided  by another system to be notified by the SOM service. It is registered at the hub (Observable) to be invoked when a notification is due. The id is the id that the hub assigns to the listener and which can be used e.g. to de-register the listener later.

    Regards,
    Andreas

    Thanks Andreas for your answer. I'll provide some additional info:
    The Open API design pattern prescribes events that are raised as part of an API implementation, typically as a result of operation invocation (e.g. entityxxxxcreated, entityyyyystatuschanged, etc.). We have two paradigms for handling these events:
    • hub and listener - This is a point-to-point paradigm. The software system that raises events (typically an implementation of an API) publishes a hub end-point. Software systems that want to subscribe to the events register at the hub, giving a callback endpoint as part of the registration. The event raising software system will invoke each callback endpoint to communicate the events to the subscribing systems.
    • event queue - This is a distributed paradigm. TMF688 (event management) allows event providers to raise events, and event consumers to subscribe to events, wrapping queue or messaging systems (Kafka, Rabbit, etc.)
    Hope it helps
