For the PM Control extension of the 5G Bulk PM use case there is a need to receive notifications related to inventory changes, specifically when a new xNF instance has been fully instantiated. It is also important for this use case that certain inventory parameters are populated with correct values. This user story focuses on PNFs, but updates should be aligned with VNF behavior.

Investigation shows that AAI can generate events on the AAI-EVENT topic when entities in the inventory are updated, but it appears that for PNFs no status attribute is currently updated at the end of the PNF workflow. The first goal of this user story is to extend the PNF workflow to update a suitable status attribute at end of successful instantiation.

The second goal is to ensure that various model related AAI attributes are populated during the PNF workflow: model-version-id, model-customization-id, model-invariant-id.

Things to consider:

• Coordination with other proposed updates to the PNF workflow in R6
