Overview

Overview

The following communication mechanisms are available to NFM-P OSS clients:

• NFM-P XML API and JMS event stream

• NSP REST API and Kafka notification service

The XML API receives SOAP XML requests for configuring and managing NFM-P system and network objects. The XML JMS event stream allows OSS clients to receive near-real-time notification of NFM-P system and managed-network events. The NSP NFM-P XML API Developer Guide focuses primarily on OSS application integration with the XML API and JMS mechanisms.

By subscribing to NSP REST APIs, an NFM-P OSS client can configure and manage objects, and receive near-real-time Kafka event notifications. See the Network Developer Portal for information.

Note: The NSP REST APIs also allow OSS clients to integrate with other NSP components.

A developer who creates an OSS application for the XML API requires knowledge of the following:

• standard XML schema constructions

• OSS interfaces

• managed devices

• NFM-P functions
