Harmonization work has been done on Alarm Management within TM Forum between OSS/J Fault Management API and MTOSI Resource Trouble Management DDP leading to the definition of the Resource Alarm Management (RAM) interface. For a true harmonization, it is needed to be able to phase out existing Fault Management interfaces from OSS/J and MTOSI when introducing the new one to avoid creating yet another FM interface.
During the initial migration discussions it was noted that the scope of MTOSI Resource Trouble Management DDP is slightly larger than the scope of RAM, which is only covering the Alarm Collection and Handling parts of RTM.
In order to complete the coverage of MTOSI RTM DDP and ease the migration to RAM, the missing pieces of RTM have been gathered in the Maintenance, Protection and Alarm Control (MPAC) interface.
The scope of the MPAC interface covers the following MTOSI Service Interfaces, which are part of the MTOSI RTM DDP:
- Alarm Control
- ASAP Control
- ASAP Retrieval
- Maintenance Control
- Protection Control
- Protection Retrieval
