NBI stands for NorthBound Interface. It brings to ONAP a set of API that can be used by external systems as BSS for example. These API are based on **TMF API**.

With the current version of APIs used from SO and AAI we need to manage a ‘customer’. This customer concept is confusing with Customer BSS concept. We took the following rules to manage the ‘customer’ information:
• It could be provided through a serviceOrder in the service Order a relatedParty with role ‘ONAPcustomer’ should be provided in the serviceOrder header (we will not consider in this release the party at item level); External API component will check if this customer exists and create it in AAI if not.
• If no relatedParty are provided the service will be affected to ‘generic’ customer (dummy customer) – we assume this ‘generic’ customer always exists.
-
• Additionally nbi will create in AAI the service-type if it did not exists for the customer
-• Integration is done at service-level: nbi will trigger only SO request at serviceInstance level --> ONAP prerequisite: SO must be able to find a BPMN to process service fulfillment (integrate vnf, vnf activation in SDNC, VF module
+ServiceOrder management in NBI will support 2 modes:
+
+• E2E integration - NBI call SO API to perform an End-To-end integration
+• Service-level only integration - nbi will trigger only SO request at serviceInstance level --> ONAPSO prerequisite: SO must be able to find a BPMN to process service fulfillment (integrate vnf, vnf activation in SDNC, VF module
+
+The choice of the mode is done in NBI depending on information retrieved in SDC. If the serviceSpecification is within a Category “E2E Service” , NBI will use E2E SO API, if not only API at service instance level will be used.
+
+There is no difference or specific expectation in the service order API used by NBI user.

+ServiceOrder tracking
+
+State management: States are only managed by ServiceOrder component and could not be updated from north side via API.
+Accordingly to service order item fulfillment progress, order item state are updated. Order state is automatically updated based on item state.
+Additionnally to this state, NBI provided a completion percent progress to have detailled information about order progress.
+Order Message are retrieved in the GET serviceOrder to provide NBI used addtionnal information about serviceOrder management.

+**Notification:**
-• State management: States are only managed by ServiceOrder component and could not be updated from north side via API. Accordingly to service order item fulfillment progress, order item state are updated. Order state is automatically updated based on item state.
+It is possible for an external system to subscribe to service order notifications. 3 events are managed:
+• A new service order is created in NBI
+• A service order state changes.
+• A service order item state changes
+
+These 3 events have distinct notification allowing any system to subscribe to one, two or all notification types.
+
+The implementation will be split in 2 components:
+
+• A HUB resource must be managed within the NBI/serviceOrder API. This HUB resource allows system to subscribe to NBI notification
+• An Event API must be available at listener side in order to be able to receive Listener (when event occurs). NBI will be upgraded to use this API as client – NBI will shoot POST listener/
