This page describes how to demonstrate the entire flow from Non-RT RIC Controlpanel → A1 Policy Management Service →  A1 controller in SDNC -> Near-RealTime RIC Simulator

• Overview of the End to End call

• End to End call from Dashboard to Near-RT RIC simulator

  • Preparation

  • Perform Policy Operations via Dashboard

Overview of the End to End call

Details of the architecture can be found from the following link: Istanbul Release

End to End call from OSC NONRTRIC Control Panel to OSC Near-RT RIC simulator

via ONAP A1 Policy Management Service & ONAP A1 Adapter

Preparation

See Build/Run for building and starting the environment.
