Defining Product Specifications

Note:

Product specifications are included in Design Studio for Inventory only for backward compatibility with customized solutions that require mapping services to corresponding products.

See UIM Concepts for more information about using Products in UIM.

See Design Studio Concepts for more information about using Products in a conceptual model.

When you create Product specifications, you define which Service specifications are included in the product. For example, if you create a product called MPLS VPN, you can specify that only instances of the MPLS VPN Service specifications can be included in the product. You can also relate child product specifications to a product specification.

In Oracle Communications Design Studio, you define the list of valid Service specifications in the Product Specification editor. You can select from existing Service specifications or create new ones. If you do not specify particular Service specifications, then the product can include any service in the inventory.

To define Product specifications:

Create a new Product specification or navigate to the editor of an existing one.

See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.
Click the Related Specifications tab.
Click Select.

The Selection Dialog dialog box opens.
In the Selection Dialog dialog box, do one of the following:
- Select a specification from the list and click OK to add an existing Service specification to the Product specification.
- Click New to create and add a new Service specification to the Product specification. See "Creating New Specifications" for more information.
In both scenarios, the Service specification appears in the Related Specification tab.
(Optional) Double-click a Service specification in the table.

The appropriate specification editor opens. For example, after creating a new Service specification, you can double-click the new row in the table to configure the specification.
(Optional) Select a Service specification in the table and click Modify.

The Relationship Properties dialog appears, where you can view or change information about the relationship between the Service and Product specifications.

See "Specification Editor Related Specifications Tab" for more information about the fields on the Relationship Properties dialog box.
(Optional) Select a Service specification in the table and click Remove.

The relationship between the Service specification and Product specification is deleted.
From the File menu, select Save.
