Run-Time data storage repository for: (1) configuration parameters used by xNFs in run time and (2) operational parameters used by ONAP and xNFs.
- It is designed to be a common services data layer which can serve as a data lake.
- Enables sync data with xNFs. (source of truth, sync data, restore/initialize). Can be used for xNF crash restoration, history management and auditing.
- Enables OSS configuration, optimization, and LCM operations.
ACCESS:
- Run-Time parameters can be READ by any ONAP platform component and any plug-in.
Parameters can be READ/WRITE from Controllers, DCAE/DMaaP, A&AI and other components with permission settings.
- SO, DCAE, A&AI, Controllers (CDS, APPC, SDNC) will have default read/write access to RunTime DB
- Other components will have default read-only access to RunTime DB but can be given access on a per record basis.
INDEXING & SYNCING:
Software keeps the A&AI elements with the elements in the RunTime DB in Sync.
- A&AI is still the master of valid entities in the network and provides a dynamic view of the assets (xNFs) available to ONAP
- The RunTime DB is a master of the associate (exo-inventory) data associated with the entities.
- When a xNF appears or is removed from the system, RunTime DB records will be added/removed based on A&AI entries.
- Data Records will be indexed by xNF (VNF, PNF, ANF).
