8 Application Interfaces SM is a backend-oriented system which helps automate processes, thus most of the application functionality and processes are initiated by backend operations At runtime 2 main types of interfaces to the application are used: User Interface: Web Client Browser based client Classic Client a desktop client Backend Interface: Capability XMLs, EJB (e.g. MOP, MSI,MRS) 8

9 Service Management interfaces to other products: CRM SM technically shares many foundations with CRM (SLM, Task Management, APM, AIF, and more) Ordering Ordering (AO) and Service Order Manager (SOM) complement each other in the end-to-end Order-to-Activation solution. Integrated yet modular solution: the products are independently complete products, performing functions that serve the interest of the two distinct organizations AO is centered around the CSR and the interaction with the customer (order capture and negotiation) SOM is centered around the Service Operations, Provisioning Engineer and Network Engineer for interactions with the network Inventory Management inventory management - SM integration comes OOB 9

10 Service Management Main entities/phases SOM SCM SOM USM Project order containing John s DSL light product is created John s order is decomposed based on catalog service specifications defined for the DSL light product Specification Service Orders are created and John s order is fulfilled! John s service instances are updated to active state 10

15 SF Dependencies Status-To-Status (Individual) Calculated between: Services The services must belong to the same SO. Receive Service order (MFO) Calculate dependencies Store in DB Create SF process Update service inventory (MSI) Invoke Design-Assign in NRM (MRS) Receive Implementation Jobs (MNA) Invoke Activation (MAJ) and WFM (MWA) Send notifications to Orchestration (KSU) Manage dependencies Mange in-flight orders 15

16 SF Dependencies Status-To-Status (Individual) SO 4 S4 S5 S6 For example if S4 and S5 have status 2 status dependency (Where S4 is the waiting service and S5 is the independent service), in order for a dependency to be calculated in SF, the services must be related (P2P relation) prior in SCM. (either in parent child relation which is the case for S4 and S5 or in P2P relation) 16

17 Calculate dependencies Individual dependency Status 2 status example S5 S4 The 2 Services fulfillment processes start at the same time, However S4 stops at the waiting status until S5 has reached the continue status. The dependency is calculated and managed by SF. 17

18 Individual Dependency Supported Levels Service to service under same service order 18

19 SOM Orchestration Dependencies Service Catalog definitions: Parent service Child service Status of the parent to wait for Status of the child to wait in Parent action (Provide/Modify/Cease/Unchanged) Child action (Provide/Modify/Cease/Unchanged) 19

20 SOM Orchestration Dependencies Sub - Group dependencies - Service Catalog definitions: Sub-Group assignment rules to determine at run-time services Sub-groups Sub-Groups assignment rules are based on service Action (Provide/Modify/Cease/Unchanged) SCM Service Catalog is used 20

38 RTOM Real-Time Order Management (RTOM) Service Order Manager gives special treatment to orders which have to fulfilled in a matter of seconds (The requirement is 15 seconds to activation) How does SOM recognize these priority orders? Priority flag specified in the order itself Product or Service is flagged as Priority in the Service Catalog 38

39 How is RTOM achieved? Process serving RTOM orders is optimized for reaching activation faster activation jobs are created in SOM by the MNA Generator RTOM orders are given precedence over regular orders and thus get processed faster 39

58 B/OSS Manager Task Management Action Items Enable users to manually perform tasks through the GUI 2 Types of Action Items: Fallouts: If there are errors during or before process execution, action item might be created automatically by the system (fallout management) Planed tasks - Manual intervention required in the process 58

59 B/OSS Manager Task Management Action Items - Workflow Objects B/OSS Manager provides a workflow mechanism to enable the effective automation of Action Items Action Item is a workflow object A Workflow Object is an item of work that can be passed around between users in order to accomplish a particular business process. 59

60 B/OSS Manager Task Management Action Items Workflow Objects Once an action item has been created, it is dispacthed to the correct queue. Once dispatched o a queue, the task can be viewed by any member of the queue. Queue members can accept the action item to their work folder Or queue supervisor can assign the action item to any user s work folder Resolution: To fulfill the action required, the user will need to complete various fields before changing the status to completed and saving the action item Once the action item has been completed, the process can resume. 60

63 B/OSS Manager - BAM Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) B/OSS Manager Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) is an integrated solution that provides realtime performance and risk metrics It is achieved by reporting various events to a third-party application that analyzes and presents the data Third-party: IBM Cognos 63

64 B/OSS Manager - BAM Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) SOM (SF, Orchestration) and SLA Manager provide the input data to BAM by sending events to signal the stage and status of an order B/OSS Manager Business Activity Monitoring includes three main stages: Event collection Processing and analysis Delivery and display 64

65 Boss Manager - BAM Cognos Out-of-the-Box A set of Cognos data views are configured and supplied out-of-the-box. These data views fall into the following categories: 1. Average Time Dashboards - The Average Time group of dashboards displays the average time taken for various processes 2. Health Dashboards - The Health (Open Order) dashboards provide an aggregated view of all open orders and their order/jeopardy status 3. Fallout Dashboard - This dashboard displays the fallouts (errors/exceptions) according to task type, order type and service action 65

70 Foundations SM utilizes some 7.5 foundation components which provide standard integration, process management and configuration functionality These are: APM Process Manager AIF Integration Framework ASC System Configuration ASM Security Manager 70

71 Foundations Foundations Process Manager (APM) Integration Framework (AIF) System Configuration (ASC) ASM ( Security Manager) 71

72 Process Manager (APM) Process Manager is overall business process management foundation product It enables products and their implementations to define, execute, and monitor long-lived, multi-stepped business process flows that can span multiple applications and users Service Management uses Process Manager to break down complex business procedures into a sequence of discrete steps that can trigger specific functions 72

73 Process Manager (APM) APM has the following runtime capabilities: Manage Process Flow Iteration Loops Conditional Paths Waiting and Sequencing Call Sub-Process Local Variables Query and Update the Database Invoke AIF Services To perform complex operations like sending an XML message 73

74 Process Manager (APM) APM is used both in design time and runtime: Process Editor Used to design and implement process definitions according to the process model created by business analysts Process Engine A runtime engine that executes the process instances based on process definitions and runtime business parameters Process Monitor Monitor and manage the execution of running process instances 74

91 PEI Architecture The Integration Framework includes 2 parts: IIF Inbound Integration Framework OEF Outbound Enrichment Framework PEI SM Integration Framework IIF OEF Process Manager (APM) DB continue d 91

92 Inbound Integration Framework (IIF) IIF is a software layer responsible for the initial processing of incoming backend requests (MOP, MFO, etc.) It handles the message from its arrival on the instance until either: A process is resolved and invoked A response is sent (via OEF) Typical operations at this layer: Input message validations Persisting data to DB Orchestration call SCM 92

93 Outbound Enrichment Framework (OEF) OEF is a software layer responsible for: The creation of capability messages (MFO, MSI, etc.) Sending the created message to another instance It uses a mechanism for enriching a base xml message with more data (generated by a process or from the DB) This layer is typically invoked from either: IIF Layer APM process instance 93
