6 Base Rulesets and Extension Points

This chapter contains information about the rulesets in the Oracle Communications Unified Inventory Management (UIM) Base Rulesets cartridge and the base extension points in the Base Extensionpoints cartridge.

Base Rulesets

The Base Rulesets cartridge contains several rulesets that provide fundamental capabilities required to provision an inventory solution for specific domains, such as VoIP or POTS.

For example, the Base Rulesets cartridge provides a ruleset that identifies geographic place formats for service points. There are rulesets to validate resource availability and service configurations based on service parameters.

Use the base rulesets for reference or modify or substitute them to create custom rulesets. For example, the default telephone number format may not match the telephone number format used by the country in which you are implementing UIM. To reformat the telephone number, reuse or modify the base ruleset used to format telephone numbers.

Alternatively, you can write your own ruleset, assign it the same name as the base ruleset, and replace the base ruleset with it. See UIM Developer's Guide for more information on how to create your own rulesets.

Base Ruleset Descriptions

Table 6-1 lists and describes the basic rulesets in the Base Rulesets cartridge.

Table 6-1 Rulesets in the Base Rulesets Cartridge

Ruleset/Ruleset Extension Points	Functionality
ADDRESS_RANGE_VALIDATION	Validates address ranges for geographic addresses in China.
CONVERT_LD_SR1_TO_SR2	Converts logical device entities from the format used in the SR1 release of UIM to the format used in SR2.
CREATE_ADDRESS_CHARACTERISTIC_MAP	Returns values for address associated with characteristic names.
EncryptText	Encrypts passwords in data federation scenarios.
FIND_ADDRESS_RANGE	Distinguishes between address formats for a city or town based on incoming geographic address and retrieves associated characteristic values.
IMPORT_INVENTORY	Imports inventory data from external systems using a CSV file. You should customize the ruleset based on your business requirements before you deploy it. For example, you can customize this rulesets to import inventory data in bulk using a CSV file.
PLACE_FORMAT_IDENTIFIER	Identifies country-specific telephone number formats.
RECALL_DISCONNECTED_TN	Transitions telephone numbers with a Disconnected status to the Transitional status. The disconnected numbers are transitioned if the expiry period is reached. For example, for a telephone number that was disconnected on January 1, 2009, and for which the expiry period is set for 10 days later, the transition can occur only on January 10, 2009. The expiry period is configured by the service provider. This is a global ruleset and will apply to all telephone numbers regardless of the specifications used to create them.
RESERVATION_CHECK_REDEEMER	Can be configured to either of the two values: True or False. The default value is True. Setting the value to True indicates that when a reserved resource is assigned to a service configuration item, the user needs to provide the values of the Reserved For Type and Reserved For fields. The resource cannot be redeemed if the user provides incorrect values. Setting the value to False indicates that no validation occurs to check for incorrect values of the Reserved For Type and Reserved For fields, and the resource is automatically assigned to the configuration item. This is a global ruleset.
RESERVATION_EXPIRATION	Indicates the expiration periods for Long term and Short Term reservations. The default are 10 minutes and 40 days respectively. This is a global ruleset.
SYSTEM_EXPORT	Exports database entities into other systems in XML format. This downloadable file is available in a binary ZIP file that may be imported using the SYSTEM_IMPORT ruleset.
SYSTEM_IMPORT	Imports data in XML format into UIM. This ruleset accepts a input in a binary ZIP file, which the SYSTEM_EXPORT ruleset generates.
TELEPHONE_NUMBER_FORMATTING	Changes the default telephone number length and format specified in a telephone number specification. The default length and format is NNNNNNNN. You may change the length and format to suit the requirements of your country. Use the NNN-NNN-NNNN format for US telephone numbers and NNN NN NNNN for telephone numbers in Spain.
TELEPHONE_NUMBER_GRADING	Enables you to define specific telephone number patterns. For example, you can define telephone numbers that users consider lucky or can memorize easily.
TN_SELECTION	Allows you to select telephone numbers that are placed into an inventory group that has a service association. For example, consider a scenario where the telephone number 214-529-0001 is assigned to inventory group A, which references the service specification Pots Service. In this case, a Pots Service instance will select the telephone number assigned to that service using the inventory group A.
TRAIL_PIPE_TOPOLOGY_EDGE	Prevents the topology from storing the service trails of pipes and thereby ensures that they are not reflected in path analysis results. The default topology behavior requires that each individual pipe be terminated on a resource. This information is stored in a topology.
VALIDATE_ADDRESS_FOR_RANGE	Validates that a given address lies within a specified address range based on the values of the address range and address parameters.
VALIDATE_RELATE_PLACES	Validates whether the parameters for a parent place and the associated child place relate to specifications.

Base Extension Points

The Base Extensionpoints cartridge contains a set of basic extension points that may be associated with rulesets.

A ruleset is associated with an extension point that identifies the point where the ruleset is run. The extension point triggers the ruleset to run whenever the extension point is called.

Extension points are identified in the corresponding ruleset extension point specifications. Each extension point specification contains a signature of a method that calls the extension point. Whenever a service calls the method, the extension point is called and the associated ruleset is run.

For example, the ruleset extension point MPLSL3VPN_ALLOCATE_ALL_EXT instructs the system to run the ruleset MPLSL3VPN_ALLOCATE_ALL at the extension point ServiceConfigurationManager_autoAllocateServiceConfig.

In the Base Extension points cartridge, that extension point identifies the following point name and method signature:

ServiceConfigurationManager.autoAllocateServiceConfig
public abstract interface void
oracle.communications.inventory.api.service.ServiceConfigurationManager.
autoAllocateServiceConfig
(oracle.communications.inventory.api.entity.ServiceConfigurationVersion)

As a result, any time the ServiceConfigurationManager.autoAllocateServiceConfig method is called for an MPLS VPN service, the extension point in the Base Extension points cartridge is called and the MPLSL3VPN_ALLOCATE_ALL ruleset is run. See UIM Developer's Guide for more information on extension points.

CustomNetworkAddressManager_createCustomNetworkAddress	Creates custom network address entities. It allows you to create custom network addresses with or without specifications. If you create a custom network address with a valid specification, the API associated with the extension point assigns default values to all data elements and characteristics. The API only performs mandatory checks if you create a custom network address without specifications. The operation to create custom network addresses is atomic. Either all of the input custom network addresses are created or none. The API also runs the federation manager to fetch the federated data and validates that the custom network addresses are unique. This extension point may be used to perform preliminary checks to ensure that the data supplied has mandatory data elements. The extension point also enables you to add custom network addresses to inventory groups.
EntityIdGenerator_getId_1	Returns an automatically-generated ID for an entity. The automatically-generated ID is a numeric sequential value, which may optionally contain a prefix and suffix. The prefix and suffix may be defined in the Entity Identification specification.

TopologyMapper_createEnabledByPipesTopologyEdge	Enables you to track pipe topology in non-optimal cases. The default topology behavior requires that each individual pipe be terminated on a resource to be stored in topology. This mechanism is used so Service Trails are not stored in topology and path analysis will not find those paths. There are two situations where this default behavior is not optimal. A T1 is riding a T3 and the T1 is not terminated, because it is terminated on the T3, and a Local Loop scenario where the provisioner wishes to assign to the local loop and not the individual cable pairs. For these cases, extend this method using either an 'INSTEAD' ruleset extension point for the specification you wish to track in topology. If this method returns 'TRUE' topology will use the termination points of the parent connection as the termination points of the child.
TopologyProfileMapper_createTopologyProfile	Enables you to create nodes for logical devices, physical devices, device interfaces, equipment, networks, network nodes, geographic sites, locations, edges for pipes and networks. You must assign the nodes and edges to a service configuration for them to appear in the service topology. This extension point is called when you select View Topology on the Service Topology work area for the first time. This extension point also calls the extension point TopologyProfileMapper_processTopologyProfileExtension after it runs.
TopologyProfileMapper_processTopologyProfileExtension	Enables you to access the TopologyProfile TopologyEdgeProfile and TopologyProfile TopologyNodeProfile lists to add, modify, and delete edges and nodes respectively. You should associate this extension point to the ServiceConfigurationVersion specification that needs to be extended. You should run this extension point after the refreshServiceTopology and createTopologyProfile extension points have run.
TopologyProfileMapper_refreshServiceTopology	Refreshes the topology for a service topology profile. By default, this extension point deletes the current service topology profile and then recreates it. This extension point calls the extension point 'TopologyProfileMapper_processTopologyProfileExtension to run custom implementations.
