Active and Available Inventory (AAI) is the OpenECOMP subsystem that provides real-time views of available Resources, Services, Products, Offers, and their relationships. A&AI not only forms a registry of assets, it also maintains up-to-date views of the multidimensional relationships among these assets, including their relevance to different components of OpenECOMP.
...
AAI data views can be used by homing logic during real-time service delivery, root cause analysis of problems, impact analysis, capacity management, software license management and many other functions.
