STATUS: DRAFT

1. Scope



DESCRIPTION: This flow describes the distribution of the SDC Service CSAR. The SDC Service CSAR is a package of artifacts and output from design time that is created by the various design time GUIs. It captures the things associated with a service that has been defined in design time. This is then distributed to ONAP run-time components.

WHEN EXECUTED: After Design Time (before Run Time). When SDC Service CSAR package has been composed and is ready for distribution by SDC from a user at the Deployment Studio.

PURPOSE: To distribute the SDC Service CSAR to the run-time components

INFORMATION PASSED: Service CSAR package.

ACTORS:

  • Service Designer

  • Operations Specialist

  • SDC (Deployment Studio)



2. Pre-Conditions

The preconditions are:

  • PNFD and VNFD have been mapped to platform data/information model.

  • SDC contains the verified service and resource descriptors

  • Associated resources (PNF, VNF, ANF) used by services have been properly onboarded.

  • Services have been defined in design time, and associated templates, control loops, blueprints have been incorporated into the service

  • SDC has composed the Service Design CSAR package ready for distribution.

  • The Certification Studio has certified the Package ready for distribution

  • The Deployment Studio operator has identified the Service Design CSAR package for distribution



3. Information Flow



The following text describes each of the steps in the above flow. More details and exceptions can be described in the detailed descriptions. Wiki page links can also be linked for a reader to explore more.

  1. REGISTER FOR DISTRIBUTION – SO, DCAE, A&AI, SDN-C, APP-C, VF-C register for distribution of the SDC Artifact distribution via the registration service of the SDCE-6 interface. This is performed by all recipients of the CSAR. This allows the ONAP platform component to receive the message which will contain the package later on.

  2. SDC DISTRIBUTION NOTIFICATION (with SO) – SDC Distributes to service CSAR SO using the SDCE-6 interface. The SO listener retrieves the SDC CSAR package. SDC distributes the Service Distribution CSAR package which includes all of the artifacts, templates and resources related to the service created in design time. SDC publishes a topic onto DMaaP. Any RT component that has subscribed to that topic can get that package.

  3. REQUEST ARTIFACT - The ONAP platform component can request for the artifacts required by the component.

  4. RESPOND WITH ARTIFACT - The artifacts or SDC CSAR Package is retrieved from the DMaaP Bus. SDC responds with the package.

  5. STORE CSAR PACKAGE – SO stores the distributed package.

  6. DISTRIBUTION STATUS UPDATE (with SO) - SO responds to the SDC Distribution exchange using SDCE-6.

  7. SDC DISTRIBUTION NOTIFICATION (with DCAE) - SDC Distributes service CSAR to DCAE using the SDCE-6 interface,  the DCAE Service Change Handler retrieves the SDC CSAR package, SDC distributes the Service Distribution CSAR package which includes all of the artifacts, including templates and resources related to the service created at design time.

  8. REQUEST ARTIFACT - The ONAP platform component can request for the artifacts required by the component.

  9. RESPOND WITH ARTIFACT - The artifacts or SDC CSAR Package is retrieved from the DMaaP Bus. SDC responds with the package.

  10. STORE CSAR PACKAGE – DCAE stores the distributed package.

  11. DISTRIBUTION STATUS UPDATE (with DCAE) - DCAE responds to the SDC Distribution exchange using SDCE-6.

  12. SDC DISTRIBUTION NOTIFICATION (with A&AI) - SDC Distributes service CSAR to A&AI using the SDCE-6 interface,  the A&AI listener retrieves the SDC CSAR package, SDC distributes the Service Distribution CSAR package which includes all of the artifacts, including templates and resources related to the service created at design time.

  13. REQUEST ARTIFACT - The ONAP platform component can request for the artifacts required by the component.

  14. RESPOND WITH ARTIFACT - The artifacts or SDC CSAR Package is retrieved from the DMaaP Bus. SDC responds with the package.

  15. STORE CSAR PACKAGE – A&AI stores the distributed package.

  16. DISTRIBUTION STATUS UPDATE (with A&AI) - A&AI responds to the SDC Distribution exchange using SDCE-6.

  17. SDC DISTRIBUTION NOTIFICATION (with SDN-C) - SDC Distributes service CSAR to SDN-C using the SDCE-6 interface,  the SDN-C UEB listener retrieves the SDC CSAR package, SDC distributes the Service Distribution CSAR package which includes all of the artifacts, including templates and resources related to the service created at design time.

  18. REQUEST ARTIFACT - The ONAP platform component can request for the artifacts required by the component.

  19. RESPOND WITH ARTIFACT - The artifacts or SDC CSAR Package is retrieved from the DMaaP Bus. SDC responds with the package.

  20. STORE CSAR PACKAGE – SDN-C stores the distributed package.

  21. DISTRIBUTION STATUS UPDATE (with SDN-C) - SDN-C responds to the SDC Distribution exchange using SDCE-6.
