Order item parameter bindings define how OSM maps incoming order item parameters to parameters on a conceptual model entity.
You can create order item parameter bindings manually by using the procedure below, or by using the supplied Order Item Parameter Binding design pattern in the Model Project section of the list of design patterns. If you launch the design pattern from the context menu of an appropriate conceptual model entity, the name of that entity will be populated in the design pattern. Otherwise you will have the opportunity to select the name of the conceptual model entity to use.
To create new order item parameter bindings manually:
From the Studio menu, select New, select Order and Service Management, then select Order Transformation, and then select Order Item Parameter Binding.
The Order Item Parameter Binding wizard is displayed.
In the Project Name field, select the project in which to save the order item parameter binding.
In the Name field, enter a name for the order item parameter binding.
The name must be unique among order item parameter binding entity types within the same namespace.
In the Namespace field, select an existing namespace or enter a unique namespace in which to include the order item parameter binding.
(Optional) Select a location for the order item parameter binding.
By default, Oracle Communications 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:
Click the Folder field Browse button.
Navigate to the directory in which to save the entity.
Click OK.
Click Finish.
Design Studio adds the new order item parameter binding to the selected project and opens the new entity in the Order Item Parameter Binding editor.
In the Properties tab, select the order item and conceptual model entity to which the binding will apply.
Use the Parameter Bindings tab to define the specific binding information.
