Working with Activation Tasks

Activation tasks provide integration between Oracle Communications Order and Service Management (OSM) and either Oracle Communications ASAP or Oracle Communications IP Service Activator. When you install the OSM, OSM Integration, and Studio for Activation plug-ins in Oracle Communications Design Studio, you can model a process flow that includes one or more tasks that activate services in a network using those systems.

Before modeling Activation tasks, you must import at least one ASAP or IP Service Activator service cartridge, which you use to define relationships between tasks and service actions. See "Importing Activation Cartridge Projects" for more information.

When you create a first activation task in a workspace, Design Studio creates a data dictionary project called ActivationOSMIntegrationDataDictionary containing the data schema structure for ASAP and IP Service Activator. Data elements are annotated on the Information tab of the Data Schema editor. The ASAP data schema is called ASAP_OSM. The IP Service Activator data schema is called IPSA.
