  • 1.  TMF622 - Adding categories to product specs

    Posted Jul 10, 2023 03:39

    Team,

    We are looking at a modular approach to our product catalogue similar to the one presented recently by BT but looking into the product catalogue design it seems there's no way to categorise the product specifications directly. Ideally our modules would be defined from the specification level on down.

    Is this something that TMF is looking at for future releases?

    Hi Ryan

    We added a reference from ProductSpecification to Category in v5, like this (you'll find this in the very early beta for TMF620 here: https://www.tmforum.org/oda/open-apis/table/pre-production

                category:
                  type: array
                  items:
                    $ref: '#/components/schemas/CategoryRef'
                  description: >-
                    The category resource is used to group product specifications in logical containers.
                    Categories can contain other categories and/or other catalog entries.

    We made this change also in v4.2, but for reasons not clear to me the v4.2 improvements in TMF620 have never been published.

    Anyway hope it helps.

    Jonathan,

    Thanks for the quick response. I can't seem to access the Swagger and guide pdf despite SingTel being a member. Is there something I'm missing here? I just want to have a read of the updated spec.

    I suspect that the preproduction versions are open only to members of the Open API team, but I'm not sure. You could try contacting TMF IT and asking them why you are having access difficulties.
