  3. a concern was raised regarding the commitment of the Tosca vendors to support the requested structure.

  4. from a discussion, it looks like Nokia did not yet approve the requirement.

  5. Tal from Amdocs agreed to provide an example to the expected CSAR so that the other CSAR will be aligned accordingly.

  6. based on this example the MF file can be created for the rest of the CSARS.

  7. SDC provide information regarding the support that can be achieved for workflows in R1.

    1. SDC suggested a definition of a new artifact type for the workflows.

    2. the artifact type coupled with the CSAR will allow SDC to ingest the workflows from the vendor CSAR into SDC in case the workflows are coming from the vendor.

    3. SDC provides a set of rest API's to upload the workflows to VF instances and to the service, the update will be done using the defined type for the workflows.

    4. all uploaded workflows will be distributed as part of the service CSAR.

    5. SDC suggested review rest API's exposed in order to provide an alternative t e workflow using the parser.

    6. workflow design team clarified that for R1 they will not be creating an API integration with SDC and the workflow attachment process will be manual.
