The link for it is: https://docs.onap.org/en/latest/submodules/policy/parent.git/docs/index.html.  At some point in April/May of 2020 we will be branching so be sure to refer to the Frankfurt branch of documentation if you are viewing this wiki page at that time.

Frankfurt Release Key Updates


Key New FeatureSMEDetailsReadthedocs/JIRA etc.
Re-design of Control Loop Actor/Operation Code

Drools Rules Simplification.

POLICY-1930 - Getting issue details... STATUS


Policy Update notifications

James Hahn

When versions of policies are deployed/undeployed, an update notification is sent on Dmaap topic so that clients (DCAE in particular) can make Decision API call to get the latest policy that they should be enforcing.

PAP Component Enhancements

Ram Krishna Verma

James Hahn

  • Treatment of PASSIVE state for PDPs: If a PDP fails to deploy one or more policies specified in a PDP-UPDATE message, PAP will undeploy those policies that failed to deploy to the PDP.  This entails removing the policies from the Pdp Group(s), issuing new PDP-UPDATE requests, and updating the notification tracking data.
  • Removal of supportedPolicyTypes in PdpStatus message from pdp's for either registration or regular heartbeat. Now pdp's will send the name of the pdpGroup they want to register in the PdpStatus message for registration.

POLICY-2026 - Getting issue details... STATUS

New PAP API for Create and Update PDP Groups

Ram Krishna Verma

James Hahn

  • A new API is introduced to deploy policies on specific PDPGroups
  • Fetch policy deployment status: Clients will be able to poll the PAP API to find out when policies have been successfully or unsuccessfully deployed to the PDP's.
