To receive the service and resource artifacts from SDC.Artifacts (vendor onboarded) into SDC will be eventually stored,

STEPS:

(1) ONBOARDING - A vendor onboards artifacts describing the parameters supported for their PNFs and VNFs.

(2) SDC CATALOG - The onboarded artifacts are stored in the SDC Catalog after onboarding and validated (VNF-SDK) into the SDC catalog, those will be sent out over DMaaP in a CSAR package, and S/W will setup the RunTime using these artifacts).

(3) CSAR DISTRIBUTION - The contents of the artifacts are distributed by SDC in a CSAR package onto the DMaaP bus.

(4) SETTING UP RUNTIME DB - S/W to setup the RunTime using the content of the CSAR package consumes the SDC CSAR Package.
