5 Base Cartridge Reference

This chapter provides reference information about the Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management (UIM) base cartridges. Base cartridges provide fundamental data that is referenced by other cartridges and cartridge packs.

The chapter is organized by cartridge, with each section documenting the contents of a cartridge or group of cartridges.

Base Specifications Cartridge

The Base Specifications cartridge (ora_uim_basespecifications) includes a variety of specifications designed for particular purposes.

Business Interaction Specifications

Table 5-1 lists and describes the Business Interaction specifications included in the Base Specifications cartridge.

Table 5-1 Business Interaction Specifications

Specification Description

Service Order

Defines the inventory actions that are required to fulfill a service order. This specification contains only default data elements.

Connectivity Specifications

Table 5-2 lists and describes the Connectivity specifications included in the Base Specifications cartridge.

In releases prior to UIM 7.3, you could not create multiple different Connectivity specifications. Instead, there was a single specification provided in the cartridge. All entities created in UIM were based on that specification and you could modify it only by adding entity level characteristics.

For backward compatibility, that specification still exists but has been renamed from TDM Facility to Channelized Facility.

Table 5-2 Connectivity Specifications

Specification Description

Channelized Facility

Represents a channelized transport that is a carrier of other connectivities. A Channelized Facility provides channels, that can be assigned to the connectivities (riders) that the transport carries.

Custom Involvement Specifications

Property Location Specifications

Table 5-8 lists and describes the Property Location specifications included in the Base Specifications cartridge. Unlike most other specifications, you cannot create multiple different Property Location specifications. Instead, you use entity-level characteristics to modify the single specification provided in the cartridge. All entities created in UIM based on that specification share those characteristics. See Design Studio Help for more information about entity-level characteristics.

Table 5-8 Property Locations Specifications

Specification Description

Property Location

Represents a piece of land with defined legal boundaries. Property location is the lowest-level element in the natural hierarchy that identifies a location (country, state/province, municipality, property location). Property location is used in defining network locations for channelized connectivity.

Base Measurement Entities

This section contains information about the entities included in the Base Measurements cartridge (ora_uim_basemeasurements). The Base Measurements cartridge provides measurement types, units of measure, and capacity types to support the definition of signal structures and pipe capacity in UIM.

For example, the Base Measurements cartridge provides a Bit Rate measurement type; a set of related units of measure including bps, Kbps, Mbps, and Gbps; and a Bandwidth capacity type. See UIM Concepts for more information about measurement entities.

Bandwidth is the only type of capacity that can be used by default. You can use extension points and rulesets to extend the application to handle requirements that are specific to another type of entity or technology. For more information on extension points and rulesets, see UIM Developer's Guide.

Capacity Types

Table 5-9 lists and describes the capacity types included in the Base Measurements cartridge.

Table 5-9 Capacity Types

Specification Description

Bandwidth

Identifies the capacity type used to measure the capacity of pipes. Bandwidth is measured by bit rate. Entities such as pipes provide and consume bandwidth at a bit rate that you specify. For example, a T3 pipe can provide 43 Mbps, for example, and a T1 pipe can consume 1.544 Mbps of that capacity.

Measurement Types

Table 5-10 lists and describes the measurement types included in the Base Measurements cartridge.

Table 5-10 Measurement Types

Phone Management Specifications and Rulesets

This section contains information about the characteristics and rulesets included in the Base Phone Management cartridge. The Base Phone Management cartridge provides characteristics and rulesets that help distinguish telephone numbers based on type. The cartridge also enables UIM to manage the assignment state of telephone numbers, including ported telephone numbers. This ability enables UIM to support telephone number portability features.

Characteristics

The Base Phone Management cartridge provides characteristics, including a telephone number type characteristic that provides values to identify the following types of telephone numbers:

  • Owned: Telephone numbers owned by a service provider

  • Ported in: Telephone numbers owned by a different service provider but used by a customer after subscribing to the current service provider

  • Ported out: Telephone numbers owned by the original service provider but used by a customer after subscribing to a different service provider

  • Toll free: Telephone numbers for which the service provider, instead of the customer, pays for the usage charges

In addition to the characteristics, this cartridge includes rulesets that manage the state transitions of telephone numbers based on the telephone number type characteristic.

Table 5-12 lists and describes the characteristics included in the Base Phone Management cartridge.

Table 5-12 Characteristics

Specification Description

Block Availability

Indicates whether a particular telephone number block is available for assignment

Block AvailabilityDate

Identifies the date after which a particular telephone number block will be available for assignment

Block Indicator

Identifies a telephone number block

Responsible Provider

Identifies the primary provider responsible for providing the telephone service

TN Country Code

Identifies the originating country of a mobile telephone number

TN Type

Indicates the type of telephone number: toll free, owned, ported in, or ported out

Winback

Identifies that a mobile telephone number has been provisioned as a Winback

Rulesets

Table 5-13 lists the rulesets and extension points included in the Base Phone Management cartridge.

Table 5-13 Rulesets in the Base Phone Management Cartridge

Rulesets Functionality

SNAPBACK_TRANSITION

Manages the transition of a telephone number in Ported state to the Unassigned state.

A telephone number is assigned the Ported Out state when the customer carries the number along to another service provider. However, it is still owned by the original service provider even though it is made unavailable for assignments within the system. When the customer relinquishes the number, this ruleset transitions the number from the Ported Out state to the Unassigned state and makes it available for reassignment within UIM.

Telephone Number Specifications and Rulesets

The Telephone Number Management cartridges model generic telephone number management services, including country-specific telephone number formatting and telephone number blocks. These services can be used in any telephony domain.

There are five separate cartridges for different countries, which you can use in any combination:

  • ora_uim_us_tn

  • ora_uim_canada_tn

  • ora_uim_norway_tn

  • ora_uim_uk_tn

  • ora_uim_saudi_arabia_tn

Entity Specifications

The base telephone number cartridges provide telephone number specifications that model services used for country-specific telephone number formatting and managing telephone number blocks. These generic services may be used in any telephony domain, such as POTS or Mobile using any user-defined service configuration specification.

The telephone number specifications provide a template to indicate how UIM handles country-specific telephone number formats. The specifications include the Telephone Number Type characteristic that allows you to implement telephone number portability.

The Telephone Number Type characteristic differentiates telephone numbers a service provider owns from those that are ported in or ported out. UIM differentiates aging and state transition business logic for telephone numbers based on the value of this characteristic. You can deploy whichever base telephone number cartridges your business requires. For example, if you need to provision a telephone service for subscribers in the US and Canada, you need not deploy telephone number cartridges pertaining to Norway.
