Class AccessModel

java.lang.Object
com.highdeal.pnr.hci.AccessModel
All Implemented Interfaces:
XMLMarshallable
public class AccessModel extends Object implements XMLMarshallable
This Java class represents an access in master data that grants a timed license to an end customer of a service provider to access and use its digital services; In return for this service usage, the access identifies a charge that must be computed and debited for this service consumption. This fee is part of a commercial agreement (subscription, provider contract). The access establishes a business relationship between:
  • a technical key that depends on the digital service infrastructure and that identifies a point of service consumption resource (like a phone number or an email addresse)
  • a commercial agreement

Important Note

An access has a particular lifecycle. The technical key may be reassigned to another commercial agreement. See the Version and Chronology section.

An access is an association between technical information related to the usage of a digital service by an end customer and business information for charging this consumption.

  • Technical information includes both an identifier of the service (SERVICE ID), and of an identifier of the end customer of this service (USER SERVICE ID - USID)
  • Business agreement information includes the link to the (charge activations (*) for this user (end customer).

Example of user service ID and service ID: A phone number in the phone service, or an e-mail address in a messaging service

Notes (*)

  • Only the master charges that include a price plan configured with a usage rate can be part of an access. These APIs define these particular charges as an accessible charge. The business agreement information includes only accessible charges.
  • An access may have an owner. In this case, the access can only include accessible charges on subscriptions and provider contracts (see charging contracts related to a subscriber account whose service provider is the same as the owner of the access.

Version and Chronology

The access is not directly managed. It contains a chronology of accessible charge(s). An accessible charge represents a charge activation linked by the access.

If a linked activation charge is removed, the corresponding accessible charge is replaced by the previous accessible charge in the chronology. If there is no previous accessible charge, the deleted accessible charge is replaced by the following accessible charge. If the deleted accessible charge was alone, the access is removed.

Note

Since release 3.0 of SAP Convergent Charging, accesses are automatically created during the provisioning of provider contracts. You cannot customize this creation. Make sure you do not corrupt the accesses master data stored in SAP CC when your project implementation mixes subscriptions and provider contracts that shared the same accesses.
