nms-integration-tool 1.3.0.3

Library to integrate Wirepas NMS metadata service APIs

NMS Integration Tool

This python package imports location, network, node, and gateway data into the associated Wirepas NMS backend metadata services.

Repository Organization

Python Package

The nms_integration_tool package is organized as follows:

• src/nms_integration_tool/
  • api/ - OpenAPI generated NMS Metadata Service API Python libraries to connect to and query services.
  • <service name>/ - Contains requester/transformer module implementations for importing data to each service
  • data_source.py - Provides classes to extract data from various data sources. These classes provide an ingest method that returns a list of data items. Future data sources can be implemented using the DataSource interface.
  • transformer.py file defines a template class with methods to ingest data from any data source. Each child class must provide a specific implementation detailing how input data is transformed into a format compatible with the metadata APIs. The class provides methods that return a list of transformed data items. Transformed data are represented as dictionaries with keys corresponding to the fields of the associated metadata service objects, which can then be sent to the import module.
  • requester.py file provides an interface class to import data and update existing database records. Each service must implement the main function in its own child class inheriting from this interface. The import_data method imports new data and updates existing records in the database. An optional cache can be provided to store data from service responses.

Classes are provided for importing locations, location types, networks, nodes, and gateway metadata.

Note: For gateway, node, and location services, data with coordinates may be automatically updated with no actual changes. This occurs because services return non-identical data (the EPSG field is added to coordinates, and floating-point approximation errors can occur when comparing data source values with queried data). The import module detects these differences and updates records without modifying any fields, which may cause a small delay in POST queries.
