5 Services offered by the UDR
5.1 Introduction
The UDR offers the following services via the Nudr interface:
- Nudr_DataRepository Service
NOTE: This service corresponds to the Nudr_DataManagement service in 3GPP TS 23.501 [4],
3GPP TS 23.502 [5] and 3GPP TS 23.503 [6].
5.2 Nudr_DataRepository Service
5.2.1 Service Description
5.2.1.1 Service and operation description
The UDR is acting as NF Service Producer. It provides Unified Data Repository service to the NF service consumer.
The NF Service Consumers are the UDM, PCF and NEF.
For the Nudr_DataRepository service, the following service operations are defined:
- Query
- Create
- Delete
- Update
- Subscribe
- Unsubscribe
- Notify
This service allows NF service consumers to retrieve, create, update, modify and delete data stored in the UDR.
This service allows the NF service consumers to subscribe/unsubscribe the data change notification and to be notified of
the data change.
5.2.1.2 Service operation and data access authorization
UDR provides one Nudr_DataRepository service to all of the NF consumers, while different types of data may have
different data access authorizations, the UDR shall be able to have the authorization management mechanism to
guarantee the safety of data access.
And the information in the Nudr_DataRepository service operation should be able to identify the NF type of the
consumer and the service operation type or name, and to indicate the requested data information including the data set
and data subset, and the resource/data identifier. All HTTP methods for the service operation shall include the
information in the appropriate place of the HTTP message.
If there is an illegal service operation or data access request initiated by a NF consumer, the service failure response
should be returned through the Nudr interface with an explicit cause value.
5.2.2 Service Operations
5.2.2.1 Introduction
This clause specifies the generic Nudr_DataRepository service operations towards the different data sets as shown in
Figure 4-1.
The HTTP request of the service operations contains a resource URI that the {apiSpecificResourceUriPart} (see
subclause 4.4.2 in 3GPP TS 29.501[4]) consists of a top-level segment and sub-level segment(s).
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
3GPP TS 29.504 version 15.3.0 Release 15 9 ETSI TS 129 504 V15.3.0 (2019-05)
For Create, Query, Update and Delete operations, the top-level segment indicates one top level resource representing
one of the data sets, which are defined as "/subscription-data", "/policy-data", "/exposure-data" and "/application-data"
in Figure 6.1.3.1-1. And a certain child resource is indicated by of the end URI of the sub-level segments, which are
defined in 3GPP TS 29.505 [2] for use when the top-level segment is "/subscription-data" and in 3GPP TS 29.519 [3]
for use when the top-level segment is "/policy-data", "/exposure-data" or "/application-data".
For Subscribe/Unsubscribe to data change notification operations, the resource of the subscription to the notification
should be as the child resource of each of the data sets (i.e. "/subscription-data", "/policy-data", "/exposure-data" and
"/application-data"), which are indicated by the top-level segment in the URI. And the resource representation of the
subscription to the notification should be indicated by the sub-level segment of each data set.
The following procedures for each operation should be taken as the common procedures and applicable to
corresponding detail procedures with the same service operation in 3GPP TS 29.505 [2] and 3GPP TS 29.519 [3].
5.2.2.2 Query
5.2.2.2.1 General
The Query service operation is used to retrieve the data stored in the UDR. HTTP GET method shall be used for the
service operation to request the certain data record(s). One piece of data records should be a data set, a data subset, a
group of data in one data subset, or a specific data. If the data record(s) are the attribute(s), query parameter or the
combination of query parameters should be used as the filters to control the content of result.
5.2.2.2.2 Data retrieval
Figure 5.2.2.2.2-1 shows a scenario where the NF service consumer (e.g. UDM, PCF or NEF) sends a request to the
UDR to retrieve data.
Query parameters may be used for data retrieval:
i) Subclause 5.2.2.2.3 specifies the query parameter used for retrieving subset of a resource;
ii) Other query parameters are defined in 3GPP TS 29.505 [2] and 3GPP TS 29.519 [3].
Figure 5.2.2.2.2-1: Retrieving Data
1. The NF service consumer shall send a GET request to the resource representing the data. Query parameters may
be used to restrict the response to the requested data record(s) of the resource's representation. Query parameters
may also indicate the features that the NF service consumer supports as described in subclause 6.6.2 of
3GPP TS 29.500 [7].
2. On success, the UDR shall respond with "200 OK" with the message body containing the requested data
record(s) restricted to the query parameters. (and thus also to the indicated features supported by the NF service
consumer).
On failure, the UDR shall return an appropriated error code with the error cause information.
The error codes of corresponding service operations in 3GPP TS 29.505 [2] and 3GPP TS 29.519 [3] shall align and
comply with the failure response mechanism which is defined in 3GPP TS 29.500 [7].

5.2.2.2.3 Retrieval of subset of a resource
When a resource has multiple attributes, it is allowed for the NFs to retrieve a subset of the attributes. When the
attribute is of type map, it is allowed for the NFs to retrieve individual member(s) of that map. For retrieval of subset of
a resource, a new query parameter "fields" is defined to carry the identities of the attributes to be retrieved. The
definition of "fields" query parameter is:
1) "fields" query parameter is of type array; and
2) each element of the array is of type string encoded as a JSON pointer as defined IETF RFC 6901 [9].
NOTE: identifying an individual element in the array is supported by JSON pointer, however it is not
recommended to use this feature if the client is not exactly aware of the order of the members i
