Creating Model Elements

You can use atomic action, service action, and action processor elements when modeling services for an Activation Cartridge project.

Note:

Follow the steps in this procedure to create elements for Activation Service cartridges. After you create the elements, you must link the elements manually. Elements for Activation Network cartridges are usually created and linked with the Cartridge Generation feature.

To create a model element:

From the Studio menu, select Show Design Perspective.
From the Studio menu, select New, select Activation, then select the action element.

The Studio Model Entity wizard appears.

Note:
The vendor, technology, software load fields of the wizards are non-editable for elements of Activation Network cartridges, but are writable for those of Activation Service cartridges. Activation Service cartridges may contain different types of service models, some of which do not identify a specific vendor, technology, or software-load attribute to indicate that they may be used to activate services on equipment from multiple vendors.
Select the applicable project.
Enter an action or select a previously defined action from the list (for example, ADD, MOD, DEL, or QUERY).
Enter a name for the entity (for example, SUBSCRIBER, GSM-SUBSCRIBER, ROUTE, TRUNK, or LINE).

An updated name and a location name appears in non-editable fields based on the information in the Vendor, Technology, Software Load, Action, and Entity fields.
(Optional) Select a location for the entity.

By default, Design Studio saves the entity to your default workspace location. You can enter a folder name in the Folder field or select a location different from the system-provided default. To select a different location:
1. Deselect the Use recommended name and location check box.
2. Click the Folder field Browse button.
3. Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.
4. Click OK.
Click Finish.

The new action entity appears in the Project folder in the Studio Projects view.

Note:

You must correct any problem markers on any entities before you deploy the cartridge. Refer to the Problems view for a short description of existing problems. For best results, set the Problem view filter to On selected element and its children to view problems in their full context.

If problem markers seem invalid (for example, if they continue to reappear after you fix the problem in the configuration), you can usually remove these problems by selecting Project, Clean from the main menu. Select one or all listed projects and click OK. Oracle Communications Design Studio discards all build problems and build states of the selected projects and rebuilds the projects from scratch.
