SDC now support the VNF package onboard, and NS design. After the VNF package onboard and design, the packages will be categorized and put into the SDC catalog.  SDC catalog also supports the package status of design time, such as check in/ check out/ in design/Ready for testing/in testing/Certified/distributed.

• vRun-Time in R1

In Run-Time,  there exists template and recipes, workflows of different levels such as service/NS/resources in different components(SO, VFC,  SDNC,  APPC, Policy, …).  SO consumes service template,  VFC consumes network service and VNF template, policy consumes service/network/VNF rule recipes and so on.

• Lack of unified catalog management in the Run-Time

In the Run-Time,  it is hard to manage the catalog in a unified way among the different levels and runtime instances.

• Unified Model API

Now many Run-Time components use different parser, and do some repeat works. The Run-Time catalog will also consider the unified models API based on the design template, exposed to all Run-Time components, reducing the complex and repeatable parser work.

Declined by TSC as a stand-alone project. Recommended as a component of Service Design & Creation Project

Project Name:

• Proposed name for the project: ONAP Runtime Catalog
• Proposed name for the repository:  RT-Catalog rtc

Project description:

     The ONAP RT-Catalog project aims to provide unified catalog management in ONAP runtime environment, including service, service component, and resource levels.

Scope:

•Levels:

•Service level: 

               Service catalog (templates, workflow, recipes, ……)
•Service Component level: 

                 NS  catalog (templates, workflow, recipes, ……), WAN catalog (templates, workflow,….)
•Resource level: 

                         VNF catalog(VNF image, templates, scripts, recipes,……), PNF catalog(….)
•Functions:

• • Provide all level catalog management, including design time catalog synchronization, on-boarding, enable, disable, update, delete catalog item in the Run-Time
  • provide the catalog relation management among the different levels and different components
  • Provide the catalog status management in the run-time, such as IN_USE, NOT_IN_USE, ENABLED, DISABLED, etc
  • Provide the  API to fetch the packages or files in the catalog, including the external system, and inner components
  • Provide the API to consume the descriptor parser result, reducing the package download time consuming between the different components.

  • Benefits

• • • Separation of concerns – Model Design  vs. Runtime Using
    • Simplification of Design time to Runtime model distribution
    • Flexibility by allowing runtime component’s self-define model view & data subscription
