UIM General Capabilities

• Telephone Number Management Enables the creation of number rules and formats in a global

environment through specifications and resource usage rules.

• Product & Service Specification Defines the hierarchy of product and service specifications to

represent the actual market or technical model of the services.

• Logical Device and Interface Management Logical device and interface management provides the ability to

specify the kinds of logical devices that need to be managed.

• Logical Area and Party Modeling Key business concepts such as serving areas, assignment

groups, operating zones, metro areas, and other groupings can

be modeled to manage resources and drive business

processes.

• Place Management Model and manage the various types of sites and locations

involved in the business such as service locations, campuses,

and VPN Sites.

• Geographic Address Management UIM supports various kinds of addresses used to identify sites

and locations; e.g. postal addresses, Lot/Block/Plan addresses,

Master Street Address Guide, or corporate addresses.

• Integration for Service Fulfillment UIM includes a SOA Web Service with operations designed to

enable development of end-to-end Service Fulfillment solutions

that combine UIM with Oracle Communications Order & Service

Management (OSM).

• Active-Active Cluster Support This allows the application to be deployed across multiple server

instances that span multiple hardware devices.

• Service Topology Views UIM provides the ability to see services using a graphical topological

view by configuring how the various facts of the service are

represented topologically.

• Graphical View of Large Networks UIM enhances the visual user experience for networks especially when

working with large-scale complex network topologies.

• Map View of Networks Networks can be viewed geographically as well as topologically.

• Enhanced Searching UIM provides the ability to search for objects with additional details

such as Characteristics and related objects.

• Reporting Users can leverage OBI EE (Oracle Business Intelligence Suite

Enterprise Edition) for reporting against the UIM repository.

• Inventory Cooperative Framework & Tooling UIM has been designed to enable data federation; it does not assume

it is the only inventory system in the provider’s environment.

• Common Information Model Oracle's common CIM describes the data to understand, run, manage,

and grow the business.

(amendments), the web service

simply add the updated order

the latest input will be used for

amendments are not supported,

then the Validate Input logic can

throw an error. Input validation

is an optional extension logic on

the Create BI Input. It would be

executed “before” the creating

Associate Parent BI is also

optional and used only when we

create a child BI for the

UIM Cooperation Support for Cooperative Inventory Solutions

• Federation Framework efficiently relates

service and resource data from

heterogeneous data sources, leaving data in

place

• no data migration required

• limited data redundancy

• Enables transparent visibility and control of

data in another application, via UIM’s unified

user interface or SOA web services

UIM’s cooperative inventory approach allows service providers to

• Bring new services to market faster and with lower risk by incorporating components

already inventoried in existing systems into the new service model

• Extend the usefulness of legacy service management solutions by providing enriched

resource information for service assignment, even with resources from diverse sources System B

Entity Reference Details

• Reference is a Resource option modeled in Design

Studio

• A Reference does not affect the referenced Resource

capacity

• Same entity can be referenced by many configuration

items.

• Reference implemented for all configurations but Pipe.

• A configuration item cannot have options for both

assigning and referencing.

• An entity can not be deleted if it referenced on an active

configuration.
