The ApplicationPattern is inherent part of all applications in the application layer.
The ApplicationPattern provides a basic set of operations that are common to all applications.
In its service section:
- It facilitates the automated embedding and upgrade processes.
- It automates the registering at the RegistryOffice.
- It supports the centralized management functions for logging, tracing, OaM access management, inventory and service access management.
- And it assures availability of documentation about the application and its REST API.
In its OaM section:
- It provides direct configuration of the applications' interfaces, internal connections and parameters of their individual algorithms.
The ApplicationPattern is not just a specification.
Its implementation is publicly available and can be copied into every individual implementation of an application.
The ApplicationPattern is base of the application layer running in the live network at Telefonica Germany.
