TMF 620: Individual GET ProductOffering API call for bundledProductOfferings

  • 1.  TMF 620: Individual GET ProductOffering API call for bundledProductOfferings

    Posted Mar 17, 2024 07:22

    Hi all,

    We could see that ProductOffering resource model has ProductOffering resource which has aggregation relationship with BundledProoductOffering.

    If we take a sample Product model as below,

    And, make a GET ProductOffering API call for "SD-WAN Service Package", we would get the details for bundledProductOfferings "SD-WAN Controller Base", "SD-WAN Controller Advanced", "Ciena 3906" and "VMWare Edge 540" with @type = BundledProductOffering in response.

    Since, as per the Product resource model these BundledProductOfferings are a specialization of ProductOfferingRef, hence as per our understanding GET ProductOffering API call can be made for these bundledProductOfferings ("SD-WAN Controller Base", "SD-WAN Controller Advanced", "Ciena 3906" and "VMWare Edge 540") individually too. Please confirm.

    If yes, then in the individual GET ProductOffering API call for these bundledProductOfferings ("SD-WAN Controller Base", "SD-WAN Controller Advanced", "Ciena 3906" and "VMWare Edge 540"), the response should have @type = ProductOffering or BundledProductOffering?

    Hi Varun

    Please note that the ProductOffering class itself is not specialized for inclusion in a bundle. It's only the ProductOfferingRef that is specialized, by the addition of the cardinality options.

    It is meaningless to do a GET on ProductOfferingRef, or on BundledProductOffering, since these are not managed entities. You would do GET on ProductOffering, and the @type in the top-level ProductOffering response would be ProductOffering. Each element in the contained BundledProductOffering list in the response would have @type BundledProductOffering.

    You can of course do a GET on the ProductOffering referred to by BundledProductOffering, and this would return a full ProductOffering with @type ProductOffering.

    Hope it helps
