2. SDC Component Description:
SDC is the Centralized ONAP Design Time Platform
- SDC Provides Service Provider a seamless design time user experience
- Allow SP to configure for its design environment including user roles and design workflows
- Import generic ONAP management functions (MS, Flows, Policies) from ONAP developed software and SP’s adaptations (1) (2)
- Onboard & Design resource level network functions (VNF, PNF) (3)
- Compose Service models with resources (4)
- Design Service Provider specific Management Flows and Policies for the Resource or Service Model (5)
- SDC integrates multi design tools into one platform
- Provide ONAP development a “Pluggable framework” for easy design tools integration
- SDC Provides a common Catalog for designed objects
- Support robust catalog cataloging capabilities for storage and management of ONAP standard compliant data models
- Provide linkage & management of SP’s Test/validation process & artifacts for certification of the designed models (6)
- Distributes models to runtime for execution (7)
3 SDC Target Functional Architecture
SDC provides 3 functionally distinct layers with modular software, integrated with internal APIs
4. SDC Current Release API definitions
SDC provides the following interfaces:
...
| Interface | PurposePu |
|---|---|
| VNFSDKE-3 | Upload VNF/PNF packagess for test purpose, and retrieve VNF/PNFs packages from the marketplace.Se |
| VNFSDKE-4VN | Request VNF/PNF validation tests and obtain the result |

The SDC dublin view is:
6 SDC Architecture Evolution (optional item)
The goals of the SDC evolution are:
- Seamless Design Time user experience based on user’s roles and design workflow
- Pluggable Framework to integrate multiple external developed design tools into SDC
- One consolidated Design Catalog with common models in SDC to drive ONAP runtime
7 SDC Overall ONAP Architecture Principle Compliance
8 The SDC near term focus on architecture deficincies are (optional):
User experience:
- Workflow Congfigurator to define service provide specific design workflow
- Workflow guided, role-based user experience
- Function-based (rather than tool based) GUI
...
- Support common data model as defined by the modelling team
- Model Data Lifecycle Management
- Runtime Distribution Version Management
9 SDC - Current System Deployment Architecture
User Experience layer (Frontend Jetty Server)
