Some NSP artifacts are required to perform service management. Artifacts are any piece of software that can be installed in a running NSP system to enable functionality for a use case. See “What is an artifact?” in the NSP Network Automation Guide for more information. The artifacts required for service management functions include predefined intent types and datasync mapping files. These artifacts are packaged for download in zip format as the service management artifact bundles. You can obtain these bundles from the Nokia NSP software download site and install them from the NSP Artifact Bundles view. See “What is an artifact bundle?” in the NSP Network Automation Guide for more information.

Note: If you are upgrading from a previous release, it is recommended that the latest service management artifacts are used in place of any previous versions.
