Getting Started with Design Studio for ASAP

Oracle Communications Design Studio for ASAP has two components (Activation and Service Request Translation) that simplify the creation, assembly, and deployment of services across multiple domains. It is a powerful graphical tool that dramatically reduces the time-to-market for new services. Design Studio offers support for the activities performed by a wide variety of users including solution designers, network element administrators, release engineers, and cartridge developers. Design Studio functionality includes:

Create, deploy and manage cartridges.
Extend cartridges into customer specific service configurations.
Manage and deploy complex multi-domain services to production, test and development environments.
Rapidly model network element (NE) instances using pre-defined network element instance and connection attributes.
Support for creation and deployment of patches.

The services that can be modeled in Design Studio are typically those that are provided to end users of telecommunications networks, such as voice services (including wireless, voice over IP), data services (including digital subscriber line, IPTV), or any other services that require controlled and coordinated activation in the network. These services are modeled in Design Studio by defining and relating objects at different levels of abstraction.
