About Hosted Specifications

A Hosted specification is one where this deployment of OSM serves the specification, persists and manages the key objects in the specification, and offers the operations described in the specification. OSM uses hosted specifications to host TM Forum (TMF) specifications for managing TMF-based product and service orders in OSM. Using hosted specifications, you import TMF specifications to support ordering using TMF Open APIs. OSM supports all operations described in the TMF product ordering and service order specifications.

You can use the TMF specification as-is or add more data to the specification (OSM extended specification) based on your business requirements.

For conceptual information about the Hosted specification and the OSM extended specification, see OSM Concepts and OSM Modeling Guide.
