This section describes Business Drivers needs.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
-This contribution introduces a new domain in VES, stndDefined, which indicates that the event contains data that conforms to format/schema defined by a separate standards organization. In addition we propose one new field in the VES Common Header to enable further classification of such events, e g to support routing of these events to appropriate DMaaP topics. An optional second stage validation is proposed in DCAE prior to acknowledging the event to enhance trouble shooting.
-It is proposed that the first application of this generic capability supports VES encapsulated 3GPP defined notifications as described in 28.532 version 16.3.0 Annex B (informative). The ORAN O1 specification also refers to VES-based 3GPP notifications for several management services, and in those cases is expected to further align with the approach and solution published in 3GPP in a future release.
BUSINESS IMPACT- The ability for service providers to deploy ONAP as the SMO in their O-RAN compliant network depends upon ONAP’s ability to process VES encapsulated events as defined by 3GPP and ORAN in DCAE and route these events to appropriate DMaaP topics. This proposal, in Guilin, provides the necessary capability for ONAP to process and validate events that are defined using 3GPP schema for the data. The proposal is readily extensible for the support of additional events from 3GPP, ORAN or other standards organizations adding a high degree of flexibility to the ONAP platform.
BUSINESS MARKETS- This contribution applies to any Service Provider that wants to use ONAP as an O-RAN compliant SMO or to support 3GPP compliant interfaces and can be leveraged by Service Providers wishing to support events from network functions which are aligned with other standards organizations.
FUNDING/FINANCIAL IMPACTS- This contribution helps enable ONAP to be O-RAN and 3GPP compliant which should stimulate contributions from companies that are aligned with O-RAN and 3GPP. There is no new hardware to be procured and no new licenses.
ORGANIZATION MGMT, SALES STRATEGIES- This proposal does not affect sales strategies.

Use cases define how different users interact with a system under design. Each use case represents an action that may be performed by a user (defined in UML as an Actor with a user persona).

Preconditions | Preconditions for a system (xNF & ONAP) before a xNF sends a stndDefined VES event: the xNF has been onboarded (artifacts in the onboarding package describe the VES events that the xNF supports). xNF has gone through registration with ONAP. e.g. in the case of a PNF, it has gone through Plug and Play and sent pnfRegistration event. ONAP system that supports VES 7.2 or later. |
Triggers / Begins when | xNF emits a VES notification that contains data which follows the schema defined by a standards body with a VES Common Header where the domain field is populated with the stndDefined value which is destined for the DCAE Collector. |
Steps / Flows (success) |

Post-conditions | DCAE sends the stndDefined VES events to a Kafka topic. |

Related Use Cases | C&PS Configuration & Persistency Service (for the CM notifications) |
Participating ONAP Components | DCAE (DCAE VES Event Listener) |
Related JIRA | MODELING-370: Standards Defined Notifications over VES - Modelling WorkClosed |
Description | VES Information Model Adding a new valid enum for the domain and new field for the namespace only populated if the domain is stndDefined. |
Related Standards & Industry Activities | 3GPP Standards TS28.532 |
Attributes | Domain (Existing Attribute), adding a new enum value "stndDefined" stndDefinedNamespace (NEW Attribute); type: (string) / enum ?? stndDefined field added to VES common schema. |
Relationships | VES Information Model Does not change the VES Object class or Object class relationships in the Information Model. |
Originator | The xNF sends the stndDefined Event, and is the "owner" (source of truth) of the data. The payload (e.g. CM information) is owned by the xNF and originates sending the VES event to ONAP. |
Consumers | DCAE receives this information through VES event listener How DCAE uses it: it routes it to the proper DMaAP topic based on the stndDefined domain and namespace. Micro-services (future) could subscribe to these events listening for these topics. How would micro-services use it (future): Depends on the event (type of namespace events), depends what purpose of the micro-services. Nothing outside of ONAP will access this information. |
Producers | The namespace may be updated if additional standards bodies join in on the definition for the emission of events supported by ONAP. For example IETF, broadband forum etc. It allows ONAP to process general events from various standards bodies. Condition when they update - New category of action, (CM, PM, FM) needs to be added. |
Steward | Where will this information stored and maintained in ONAP? Valid model - in the VES event listener specification. |
