There was also another functionality FGPS (Fine-Grained Placement Service) in OOF which I think is no longer maintained
Seshu Kumar Mudigantiwill provide additional further information about SO NSSMF adaptor, compliant with 3GPP
CSMF and NSMF are implemented using SO BPMN workflows to support 5G network slicing use case. CSMF workflow will process the user input (service request) that comes from CSMF portal (UUI) and save the order information into a communication service instance in AAI. Then CSMF will send network slice request to NSMF workflow, and NSMF will then create service profile, NSI and NSSI. Service profile is a logical concept which exists only in AAI - it contains two AAI instances, one is a profile instance that will hold the slice parameters, and the other is a service instance which will be used to organize the NSI. NSI is also a service instance in AAI which will be used to organize NSSI. NSSI is the actual entity which will be created by NSSMF and an AAI service instance will also be created to represent NSSI in ONAP context. NSI and NSSI can both be shared.
SO queries OOF for slice template selection and then slice instance selection. In response to slice instance selection query, OOF may return an existing slice instance or may recommend SO to create a new slice instance. A new process called Orchestration Task is created to manage recalibration of NSI&NSSI selection with manual intervention from the portal. A new SO adapter is created to be the adapter of NSSMF which will interact with external NSSMF for NSSI management. See the SO Impacts and Interfaces wiki page for details.
