Issue: The "policies" property can be confusing with the TOSCA Topology Template value "policies".
- Pamela Dragosh - use "operations" instead since it really is a set of operations that are really being enforced.
Issue: How to ensure that CLAMP does not have to hard-code the meaning of properties. Specifically, success, failure, failure_timeout etc. - need to point to other actor/recipe's to be triggered/executed.
Issue: How to ensure that CLAMP does not have to hard-code where CSAR details need to be populated in the policy. Eg. Target Type
- Need to use defaults, descriptions, constraints, required fields
- Pam and Liam will work on Operational policies to look like Seb's JSON schema so Seb can test it out. Then identify next problem to solve.
Seb's JSON schema from El Alto:
Issue: TOSCA Constraints would be nice to have something with suggested values, so the policy isn't locked into a set of values. Example is "actors" - ONAP has a set of actors, but it would be nice to be able to extend to other internal actors companies support.

2.3 Flat Structure - v1

Issue: TOSCA does NOT have a way to relate properties together. For example, if the actor property is selected as APPC, then the contraints (eg possible values) for the operation property SHOULD be "restart", "reboot", "modifyConfig". How can that be specified?
Issue: Can/Should we consolidate onap.policies.Operational into a common policy type and then allow Drools and Apex (or be extendable to companies ingesting ONAP) to be derived_from that policy.
Question: Should the actor be a capability? If its a datatype, then you cannot pre-define them. A capability type would allow us to predefine actors as well as allow companies that ingest ONAP to create their own.
Question: How does CLAMP call CDS API for blueprint information? to be filled in
TODO: Pam add examples.
Question: If CSAR is prepopulated with datatypes and policytypes, how would one design a PNF control loop? Do we need a PNF service distributed to it to "kick off"?
- Possible to have re-usable Operations?
- Jorge Hernandez will investigate re-usable operations
- Issue: Flat structure vs Nested structure
- Jorge Hernandez will investigate flat policies (old way)
- Pamela Dragosh will investigate nested policies
- Issue: We should define the incoming event that triggers the Control Loop Pamela Dragosh will add this definition
- Current ControlLoopEvent structure
- Future possible VES Events
- Possible that status of a policy execution may need to be an event for reusable operations
- Issue: Should it be capability_type or relationship for the Actor operations??
- Rashmi Pujar will investigate
- Liam Fallon and Ram Krishna Verma will look into Apex Operational Policy.
- Issue: Can we specify the guard policies into the operational policies? Do we make guard optional in policy operational directive executive? How to make it available to all PDP engines?
- Issue: Other policies needed such as is-closed-loop-disable=true and prov_status=in-maint:
Jira Legacy server System Jira serverId 4733707d-2057-3a0f-ae5e-4fd8aff50176 key POLICY-1071 - Issue: A&AI how to specify which VNF to take directive on. What about PNF?
- Could switch to where a selection of the operation constrains the actor.
- Instead of specify BOTH actor and operation, select an operation and then the actor supported by the operation.
Issue: Policies and Reusable Operations Action Item Follow up - Jorge Hernandez
A nested policy approach has the following issues:
- Number of hierarchical layers, which must be bounded. The CLAMP GUI driven by an open ended "recursive" schema would have to be bounded. One could argue that after N hierarchical layers, the information would be hard to be tracked by a human operator.
- Associated with the number of hierarchical layers, and the most important issue is the duplication of operations, as duplicated operations would be repeated at multiple levels, and branches.
- Associated with (2), there are issues of conciseness and human readability of policies.
- A smaller issue relates to the storage space in the policy repository as it would likely require more space due to dups operations across levels.
- A smaller issue relates to come up with canonical representation of policies and operations, policies will have to be flattened out and put in a canonical representation to support static analysis on the policy repo, for example for conflict detection.
The main benefits for nested operations over a flat structure are:

Issue: The "policies" property can be confusing with the TOSCA Topology Template value "policies".
- Pamela Dragosh - use "operations" instead since it really is a set of operations that are really being enforced.
Issue: How to ensure that CLAMP does not have to hard-code the meaning of properties. Specifically, success, failure, failure_timeout etc. - need to point to other actor/recipe's to be triggered/executed.
Issue: How to ensure that CLAMP does not have to hard-code where CSAR details need to be populated in the policy. Eg. Target Type
- Need to use defaults, descriptions, constraints, required fields
- Pam and Liam will work on Operational policies to look like Seb's JSON schema so Seb can test it out. Then identify next problem to solve.
Seb's JSON schema from El Alto:
Issue: TOSCA Constraints would be nice to have something with suggested values, so the policy isn't locked into a set of values. Example is "actors" - ONAP has a set of actors, but it would be nice to be able to extend to other internal actors companies support.

Issue: TOSCA does NOT have a way to relate properties together. For example, if the actor property is selected as APPC, then the contraints (eg possible values) for the operation property SHOULD be "restart", "reboot", "modifyConfig". How can that be specified?
Issue: Can/Should we consolidate onap.policies.Operational into a common policy type and then allow Drools and Apex (or be extendable to companies ingesting ONAP) to be derived_from that policy.
Question: Should the actor be a capability? If its a datatype, then you cannot pre-define them. A capability type would allow us to predefine actors as well as allow companies that ingest ONAP to create their own.
Question: How does CLAMP call CDS API for blueprint information? to be filled in
TODO: Pam add examples.
Question: If CSAR is prepopulated with datatypes and policytypes, how would one design a PNF control loop? Do we need a PNF service distributed to it to "kick off"?
- Possible to have re-usable Operations?
- Jorge Hernandez will investigate re-usable operations
- Issue: Flat structure vs Nested structure
- Jorge Hernandez will investigate flat policies (old way)
- Pamela Dragosh will investigate nested policies
- Issue: We should define the incoming event that triggers the Control Loop Pamela Dragosh will add this definition
- Current ControlLoopEvent structure
- Future possible VES Events
- Possible that status of a policy execution may need to be an event for reusable operations
- Issue: Should it be capability_type or relationship for the Actor operations??
- Rashmi Pujar will investigate
- Liam Fallon and Ram Krishna Verma will look into Apex Operational Policy.
- Issue: Can we specify the guard policies into the operational policies? Do we make guard optional in policy operational directive executive? How to make it available to all PDP engines?
- Issue: Other policies needed such as is-closed-loop-disable=true and prov_status=in-maint:
Jira Legacy server System Jira serverId 4733707d-2057-3a0f-ae5e-4fd8aff50176 key POLICY-1071 - Issue: A&AI how to specify which VNF to take directive on. What about PNF?
- Could switch to where a selection of the operation constrains the actor.
- Instead of specify BOTH actor and operation, select an operation and then the actor supported by the operation.
Issue: Policies and Reusable Operations Action Item Follow up - Jorge Hernandez
A nested policy approach has the following issues:
- Number of hierarchical layers, which must be bounded. The CLAMP GUI driven by an open ended "recursive" schema would have to be bounded. One could argue that after N hierarchical layers, the information would be hard to be tracked by a human operator.
- Associated with the number of hierarchical layers, and the most important issue is the duplication of operations, as duplicated operations would be repeated at multiple levels, and branches.
- Associated with (2), there are issues of conciseness and human readability of policies.
- A smaller issue relates to the storage space in the policy repository as it would likely require more space due to dups operations across levels.
- A smaller issue relates to come up with canonical representation of policies and operations, policies will have to be flattened out and put in a canonical representation to support static analysis on the policy repo, for example for conflict detection.
The main benefits for nested operations over a flat structure are:
- Clearly drive the GUI display and the user input (may be more intuitive), and
- if the operations are fairly simple (policies mono-operational) which is the high runner case at this time (minimum duplication).
- Recommendation is to stay with the flat structure previously used vs nested. Not ideal but use description field as a way of instructing the user on what values to put in the fields.
- Determined that we need a catalog for actors/operations and what target they work on
Actor Catalog needs to capture this information:
| Code Block |
|---|
catalog:
appc:
ModifyConfig: [VNF]
appclcm:
ModifyConfig: [VNF]
Restart: [VNF]
Rebuild: [VNF]
Migrate: [VNF]
so:
VF Module Create: [VFModule]
VF Module Delete: [VFModule]
cds:
ModifyConfig: [VNF, PNF]
sdnc:
reroute: [VNF]
BandwidthOnDemand: [VNF]
sdnr:
ModifyConfig: [PNF]
vfc:
Restart: [VNF]

Proposal is to use "metadata" field in order to instruct CLAMP on where to lookup actor information and how to apply logic around looking up information in the CSAR for actor/operation.
