Overview#
VOSS Automate ships with a portfolio of service integration modules to support close working with associated provider OSS and BSS systems. Within this portfolio, VOSS Northbound Integration Module (NBI) offers integration with northbound systems for billing and reporting purposes. NBI is a module for VOSS Automate and provides functions to control the billing flow during initial customer provisioning, monitor for changes to subscribers or their services once the customer is live, and issue real-time billing updates (payloads) northbound for charging.
NBI runs as a separate appliance and provides this integration with northbound systems through a near real-time RESTful API. This interface is used to transfer a billing payload that contains information on subscribers and associated services and devices whenever a change is made to the live system.
This document describes how to install the NBI application and then connect it up to VOSS Automate and a northbound system.
Note
This version of NBI is compatible with VOSS Automate version 19.x.
Following the installation of NBI, configure the following parameters as required:
