Staging Ingestion Framework (SIF)
Polls the network, transforms raw device data to TPE/FRE model, publishes to Kafka, then validates against BPI metadata schemas — generating DeviceMapping, ShelfMapping, CardMapping, and PluggableMapping artefacts.
Data Ingestion Framework (DIF)
Consumes validated events from Kafka, maps them to BPI data models, and performs create/update operations on the BPI graph database (Neo4j), maintaining referential integrity across the network topology.
TMF API Integration Layer
Exposes TMF-638 (Service Inventory) and TMF-639 (Resource Inventory) REST APIs — supporting GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE operations for self-service portals, call centres, and provisioning systems.
Generic Ingestion Framework
Configurable tmf639_dataSource Kafka topic configuration enabling multi-source resource ingestion with schema validation, deduplication, and conflict resolution at the BPI layer.
