Use Case Templates
Use case templates are the essential elements of the PCF architecture. The values that you define in the templates allow you to design and configure one or more services once and reuse them.
Only advanced users such as administrators are authorized to create a use case template.
On a higher-level, the use case template lets you:
-
Define the Service Configuration objects to be set by a Service Option.
-
Provide default values and/or hide values which the use case must not configure.
-
Optionally, contains Initiators (Conditions) which define when the template is active.
-
Makes Service Option and Service creation easier. For example, a use case template setup to create different upload or download speeds includes a DefaultBearer QoS Service Configuration object. The user creating a use case template can set default and/or hide the values for ARP and other values that are not directly related to upload or download speed. This allows the creation of the Service Option to be much simpler.
-
A copy of the Use Case Options is created while copying a use case template.
