4 About Cartridge Modeling

This chapter provides information on modeling the Oracle Communications Network Integrity IP Assimilation Cartridge.

Model Used to Discover Links

The Network Integrity IP Assimilation Cartridge models the collected data according to the Oracle Communications Information Model. The collected data is modeled into the following entities:

  • Pipe

  • PipePipeTPRel

  • PipeTerminationPoint

See Oracle Communications Information Model Reference for more information about the Information Model.

Shared Specifications

You must first model inventory (UIM) specifications in an inventory cartridge using Design Studio, define the cartridge dependency such that the Network Integrity cartridge is dependent on the inventory cartridge, and then use the inventory cartridge specifications in the Network Integrity cartridge model.

Specifications shared with UIM are defined in the ora_ni_uim_assimilation cartridge. These cartridges are used to directly deploy specifications to UIM.

Table 4-3 shows the list of specifications:
