Question
Currently within CPS we have two separate models for CmHandles these being CmHandle and PersistenceCmHandle. These are both very similar models, the primary difference being that persistenceCmHandle also contains references to the dmiServiceName, the dmiDataServiceName and the dmiModelServiceName as seen below.
Is it necessary to have both these models?
As PersistenceCmHandle has all the necessary fields of CmHandle, can we just modify existing code to use PerisistenceCmHandle and remove CmHandle?

- Both contained within the same package
- Properties are only used within PersistenceCmHandle to set Persistence Cm Handle ID, DMI and public properties when a cm handle is being retrieved using the get data node api.
| - Both are contained in the same package
- Properties are also used in DmiModelOperations and DmiData operation when getting and writing resource data to DMI, and when fetching yang resources.
- Is also used to persist the cm handle to the fragment table within CPS db

PROS
- Removing potentially redundant model that is not used.
CONS
- Could be a time consuming process to refactor the code for functionality which already works
Potential Issue
If we decide to only use one model, one potentially backwards incompatible change is the property names, which differ between persistenceCmHandle and the CmHandle class.
Also should this refactoring be done as part of a separate story?
Conclusion
Add more detailed comments and rename all related cm handle models.
Renamed Models
- RestCmHandle → RestInputCmHandle (generated model)
- CmHandle → NcmpServiceCmHandle
- PersistenceCmHandle → YangModelCmHandle
- PeristenceCmHandlesList → YangModelCmHandleList
