makeNPTP

The Topology Adapter needs to invoke the makeNPTP API (along with the makeTopologicalLink API) to complete the topology. Essentially, makeNPTP will replicate the PTP object existing in the SONET/SDH server.

The makeNPTP API needs to be invoked to instantiate the SONET/SDH PTP in WDM to create an association between WDM and SONET/SDH servers and provide the correlation between failures occurring in the WDM topology causing failures in the SONET/SDH topology.

During the invocation of makeNPTP two other objects are automatically constructed in the WDM topology:

• ClientInOcnPort

• ClientOutOcnPort

  Note:

  Relationship between these objects and corresponding PTPs are automatically created in the makeNPTP API, but a relationship needs to be created between these ports and the corresponding FiberLinks connecting them to Transponder Ports.

  makeNPTP (neName, ptpAid, cardAid, displayName = “value“, className = “value“, relateEquipment = “value“)

  findNPTP (neName, ptpAid)

  Note:

  findPTP is deprecated. Use findNPTP instead.
