Agenda

Service Model Orchestration

Business Process Modeling

Process Flow API (TMF701)

ODA Service Model Orchestration

2
Service Model Orchestration
Traditional mode of operation
Parameterized activation

Design time
– work from a palette of network services
(NS) available in runtime environments
– select instantiation parameters and
their value ranges to be available for
activation

Provisioning
– select specification from Catalog
– select specific values for parameters in
specification
– instantiate a service instance in the
runtime environment

4
Service model orchestration
Enabling full design time expression

Design time
– model the service state machine
– model service events
– model decision tree
– select instantiation parameters and
their value ranges to be available for
activation

Provisioning
– select specification from Catalog
– select specific values for parameters in
specification
– instantiate a service model instance in
the runtime environment

5
Business Process Modeling
Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)
A notation that is readily understandable by all business users

Industry Standard
– Object Management Group (OMG)
– UML metamodel
– graphical language
– execution semantics
– data interchange in XML

Conformance
– process modeling
– process execution
– choreography modeling

7
BPMN Engine
Standard runtime environment

BPMN supported by large ecosystem

Design time tooling

Runtime engines

8
TMF701 Process Flow API
Process Flow Management API (TMF701)
Open API for managing business processes

Resources
– Process Flow Specification
– Task Flow Specification
– Process Flow
– Task Flow

Operations
– retrieve specifications
– create Process Flow
– update Process Flow
– update Task Flow
– retrieve instances

10
Process Flow in IG1228
TMFS001: New Party – Create your account

11
Process Flow in IG1228
TMFS001: New Party – Create your account

Step 2: create Process Flow item


– indicate Process Flow Specification
– provide characteristic values to parameterize instantiation of the Flow

Step 3: create a Party Interaction item


– internally performs a TMF683 equivalent operation

Step 5: responds with created Process Flow with Task Flow(s)

12
Process Flow in IG1228
TMFS001: New Party – Create your account

Step 8: update Task Flow


– parameterize and change state

Step 10: create Process Flow on Party Management Component


– parameterize from above Task Flow

Step 11,12: response includes Task Flow Specification indicating information required

13
TMFC007 Service Order Management
ODA Component

Exposes TMF701 (as all ODA Components do)

POST /processFlow

PATCH /taskFlow/{id}

14
Process Flow for Service Model
Using TMF701 for service activation (optional, unnecessary)

Step 1: create Service Order

Step 2,3: retrieve CFS Specification

Step 4: create Process Flow for activating CFS

Step 5,6: get CFS Specification with full Service Model

Step 7: create CFS instance

15
ODA Service Model
Orchestration
ODA Components for Service Model Orchestration
Using TMF701 for service model instantiation

Process Flow Catalog (TMFCyyy)


– exposes TMF701 as Core function
– supports CRUD operations on:
– ProcessFlowSpecification
– TaskFlowSpecification

Service Activation (TMFCxxx)


– consumes TMF701 as a Core function
– retrieves CFS ProcessFlowSpecification
– requests creation of CFS ProcessFlow

Service Model Orchestration (TMFCzzz)


– exposes TMF701 as Core function
– retrieves CFS ProcessFlowSpecification
– retrieves CFS TaskFlowSpecifications
– internally instantiates CFS instance
– handles ongoing Service Events
