equipment-type-name in response of /v1/provide-list-of-actual-device-equipment is outside TR-532v2.0

[openBackhaul]

Problem:
The equipment-type-name attribute from the responseBody of /v1/provide-list-of-actual-device-equipment is filled from data provided in /core-model-1-4:control-construct/equipment/actual-equipment/manufactured-thing/equipment-type/type-name.
The typeName attribute from the ONF CoreIM is outside the TransmitterEquipment Spec. and should not be used.

Potential Solution:

• A new /v2/provide-list-of-actual-device-equipment service shall be defined.
• It shall be a copy of the existing /v1/provide-list-of-actual-device-equipment service, except the following changes:
  • Its responseBody shall no longer contain a equipment-type-name attribute.
  • Instead there shall be a new equipment-part-type-identifier attribute. This new attribute shall be filled from /core-model-1-4:control-construct/equipment/actual-equipment/manufactured-thing/equipment-type/part-type-identifier.
• The existing /v1/provide-list-of-actual-device-equipment service shall be marked "Deprecated" as its life cycle state.

First, it shall be checked, whether part-type-identifier fulfills the clients' needs. Alternatively, coverage of TransmitterEquipment Spec. may be expanded on ActualEquipment :: typeName.

From this issue it looks like there's no change needed in MWDI: asked Thorsten for confirmation.

Antwort Thorsten:

die Issues enthalten alle nur „Potential Proposals“, abschließende Klärungen sind erst noch zu betreiben und Beschlüsse noch zu dokumentieren.

Also meines Erachtens kann nicht fest davon ausgegangen werden, dass die beschriebenen Lösungsansätze sicher wie beschrieben implementiert werden.
