Code Block

language	text
title	How to read in/out/direction
collapse	true

How to read "from"/"to" and "direction" in this case:
- the "in" node is "vserver"
- the "out" node is "tenant"

Code Block

language	text
title	How to read the label
collapse	true

How to read the "label" in this case:
- ("out" node) "label" ("in" node)

i.e. tenant "owns" vserver

Code Block

language	text
title	How to read multiplicity
collapse	true

How to read "multiplicity" in this case:
- ("in" node) cardinality is "one"
- ("out" node) cardinality is "many"

i.e.
Each "tenant" has one "vserver"
Each "vserver" has many "tenants"

Code Block

language	text
title	How to read contains-other-v
collapse	true

How to read "contains-other-v" in this case:
- fetching data for ("out" node) includes data for ("in" node)

i.e. fetching data for "tenant" includes data for "vserver"

Code Block

language	text
title	How to read delete-other-v
collapse	true

How to read "delete-other-v" in this case:
- delete of ("out" node) includes does nothing to ("in" node)

i.e. delete of "tenant" includes does nothing to "vserver"

Code Block

language	text
title	How to read SVC-INFRA
collapse	true

How to read "SVC-INFRA" in this case:
- when running edge-tag-query on ("in" node) traverse to ("out" node) and continue


i.e.
when running edge-tag-query on "vserver" traverse to "tenant" and continue

Code Block

language	text
title	How to read prevent-delete
collapse	true

How to read "prevent-delete" in this case:
- prevent delete of ("out" node) when related to ("in" node), allow delete of ("in" node)

i.e.
prevent delete of "tenant" when related to "vserver", allow delete of "vserver"

EdgeRules only apply to "relationship-list" relations in the schema, since the referenced object could be anything
EdgeRules do no not apply to sub-component relations in the schema, since this is implicit and hard-coded behaviour

Field	Values	Notes
from	(literal string as entered in EdgeRule file)	Expected to match the "name" value of "xml-root-element" in OXM file. Note that the "from\|to" pair is normalised in the code according to alphabetical order, so that "cousin pairs" with the "to\|from" ordering in the EdgeRule are also grouped together, e.g. from "l-interface" to "logical-link" → "l-interface\|logical-link" from "logical-link" to "l-interface" → "l-interface\|logical-link" Also note that the hyphens "-" are removed from the names before comparison, so the following would be equivalent: l-interface linter-face
to	(literal string as entered in EdgeRule file)	Expected to match the "name" value of "xml-root-element" in OXM file. Note that the "from\|to" pair is normalised in the code according to alphabetical order, so that "cousin pairs" with the "to\|from" ordering in the EdgeRule are also grouped together, e.g. from "l-interface" to "logical-link" → "l-interface\|logical-link" from "logical-link" to "l-interface" → "l-interface\|logical-link" Also note that the hyphens "-" are removed from the names before comparison, so the following would be equivalent: l-interface linter-face
label	(literal string as entered in EdgeRule file)	By convention, appears to be one of: isA org.onap.relationships.inventory.AppliesTo org.onap.relationships.inventory.BelongsTo org.onap.relationships.inventory.BridgedTo org.onap.relationships.inventory.ComposedOf org.onap.relationships.inventory.DependsOn org.onap.relationships.inventory.Destination org.onap.relationships.inventory.ForwardsTo org.onap.relationships.inventory.IsA org.onap.relationships.inventory.LocatedIn org.onap.relationships.inventory.MemberOf org.onap.relationships.inventory.network.MemberOf org.onap.relationships.inventory.PartOf org.onap.relationships.inventory.Source org.onap.relationships.inventory.Targets org.onap.relationships.inventory.Uses startsWith tosca.relationships.AttachesTo tosca.relationships.HostedOn tosca.relationships.network.BindsTo tosca.relationships.network.LinksTo
direction	IN OUT NONE (default value used when Tinkerpop Direction is null) BOTH (default value used when string is unrecognised)	Based on and extended from https://tinkerpop.apache.org/javadocs/3.3.2/core/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/structure/Direction.html Comparison is case-sensitive
multiplicity	Many2Many One2Many One2One Many2One (default value used when string is unrecognised)	Comparison ignores case
contains-other-v	IN OUT BOTH NONE ${direction} !${direction}	This is an "edge property" that applies for specific traversal directionsto the other vertex. Comparison is case-sensitive Note that "opposite" means: IN → OUT OUT → IN BOTH → BOTH NONE → BOTH
delete-other-v	IN OUT BOTH NONE ${direction} !${direction}	This is an "edge property" that applies for specific traversal directionsto the other vertex. Comparison is case-sensitive Note that "opposite" means: IN → OUT OUT → IN BOTH → BOTH NONE → BOTH
SVC-INFRA	IN OUT BOTH NONE ${direction} !${direction}	This is an "edge property" that applies for specific traversal directionsto the other vertex. Comparison is case-sensitive Note that "opposite" means: IN → OUT OUT → IN BOTH → BOTH NONE → BOTH
prevent-delete	IN OUT BOTH NONE ${direction} !${direction}	This is an "edge property" that applies for specific traversal directionsto the other vertex. Comparison is case-sensitive Note that "opposite" means: IN → OUT OUT → IN BOTH → BOTH NONE → BOTH
default	true false (default value used when string is unrecognised)	Default EdgeRule will apply when no other more specific rule applies ? Based on https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Boolean.html#valueOf(java.lang.String) Comparison ignores case
description	(literal string as entered in EdgeRule file)	Optional for backwards compatibility with v12 and earlier (default value is empty string) The EdgeRule JSON format does not permit comments (presence of comments appears to make the parser skip entries in the file).

Questions

Is there a way to find/remove the unused/redundant EdgeRules from the json file?
Is there any plan to simplify EdgeRules into an unambiguous canonical form (might be easier to read and write correctly)?
