    • Specification & modelling work on (modernized) TMF 628 for "On Demand" PM collection and future mapping to DES API's

Use Cases

The existing use cases should still be supported ( BBS, CCVPN ) in the Honolulu Release as the APIs are built to be non use case specific.

5G E2E Network Slicing Use 

The stretch goal impact is for the specification and design work to support Performance Management API, via an enhanced TMF 628 worked with MEF  - Dependant on release of appropriate swagger from the SDOs

• Slides presented covering the NBI requirement for E2E External API Framework: 5GNetworkSlicing_ExtAPI_20200610_v1.0.pptx
• Specification aspects only of the mapping to be covered during Honolulu Release within Honolulu Release    EXTAPI-450 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Longer term Roadmap

Indicate at a high level the longer term roadmap. This is to put things into the big perspective.

Provide a clear and unambiguous ONAP service abstraction so that the BSS/OSS can exchange service requirements and service capabilities in a common and consistent fashion.
Provide a way to rapidly integrate new Services and Service Components into ONAP so that they can quickly introduce capabilities for their customers and within their infrastructure.
Enable management the entire lifecycle of Services within ONAP in a common way so that they can ensure orchestration, manageability and control of each Service in an easily integrateable and low cost way.
Model Driven approach: a cohesive way to have a shared view of information across ONAP external interfaces that can be used for or be input into a model driven process whereby the cost of delivering platform functionality is drastically reduced and the time to delivery is dramatically decreased.

It is envisioned that from a Service Provider to BSS/OSS interaction context (i.e. MEF Legato), the ONAP External API will support the following types of interacts:

• BSS/OSS retrieves Service Models
• BSS/OSS requests service feasibility determination.
• BSS/OSS requests reservations of capabilities related to a potential Service.
• BSS/OSS requests activation of Service.
• BSS/OSS receives Service activation tracking status updates.
• BSS/OSS retrieves Service Inventory
• BSS/OSS receives usage events due to a Customer initiating dynamic activity on their Service (e.g., increase in bandwidth).
• BSS/OSS receives a summary of Service quality and usage information.
• BSS/OSS receives a summary of Service Performance
• BSS/OSS receives Service state and fault event information
• BSS/OSS receives Service Activation Testing results.
• BSS/OSS receive capability information about the Service layer.
• BSS/OSS manages Licenses
• BSS/OSS receives License Usage information

It is envisioned that from a Service Provider to Partner Provider interaction context (i.e. MEF Interlude), the ONAP External API will support the following types of interacts:

• Service Provider controls aspects of the Service within the Partner domain (on behalf of the Customer) by requesting changes to dynamic parameters as permitted by service policies.
• Service Provider queries state of the Service.
• Service Provider requests change to administrative state or permitted attributes of a Service.
• Service Provider request creation of connectivity between two Service Interfaces as permitted by established business arrangement.
• Service Provider request instantiation of functional service components as permitted by established business arrangement.
• Service Provider queries the Partner for detailed information related to Services provided by the Partner to the Service Provider.
• Service Provider receives Service specific event notifications (e.g., Service Problem Alerts) from the Partner.
• Service Provider receives Service specific performance information from the Partner.
• Service Provider request Service related test initiation and receive test results from the Partner.

Release Deliverables

Indicate the outcome (Executable, Source Code, Library, API description, Tool, Documentation, Release Note...) of this release.

Sub-Components

List all sub-components part of this release.
Activities related to sub-component must be in sync with the overall release.

Sub-components are repositories are consolidate in a single centralized place. Edit the Release Components name for your project in the centralized page.

1. External API Agent:
   1. Core Agent Functionality
   2. Service Catalog API
   3. Service Ordering API
   4. Service Inventory API

ONAP Dependencies

List the other ONAP projects your depends on.

Dependent on APIs from SDC, SO, DMaaP and AAI 

Architecture

High level architecture diagram

At that stage within the Release, the team is expected to provide more Architecture details describing how the functional modules are interacting.

Block and sequence diagrams showing relation within the project as well as relation with external components are expected.

Anyone reading this section should have a good understanding of all the interacting modules.

Platform Maturity

Refering to CII Badging Security Program and Platform Maturity Requirements, fill out the table below by indicating the actual level , the targeted level for the current release and the evidences on how you plan to achieve the targeted level.

API Incoming Dependencies

List the API this release is expecting from other releases.
Prior to Release Planning review, Team Leads must agreed on the date by which the API will be fully defined. The API Delivery date must not be later than the release API Freeze date.

Prior to the delivery date, it is a good practice to organize an API review with the API consumers.

API Outgoing Dependencies

API this release is delivering to other releases.

Third Party Products Dependencies

Third Party Products mean products that are mandatory to provide services for your components. Development of new functionality in third party product may or not be expected.
List the Third Party Products (OpenStack, ODL, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch,Crystal Reports, ...).

In case there are specific dependencies  (Centos 7 vs Ubuntu 16. Etc.) list them as well.

Testing and Integration Plans

Provide a description of the testing activities (unit test, functional test, automation,...) that will be performed by the team within the scope of this release.

Confirm that resources have been allocated to perform such activities.

Potential Test Cases for External API include:

• BSS/OSS retrieves Service Models
• BSS/OSS orders a new Service.
• BSS/OSS subscribes to Service order tracking status notifications.
• BSS/OSS retrieves Service Inventory

Gaps

This section is used to document a limitation on a functionality or platform support. We are currently aware of this limitation and it will be delivered in a future Release.

Other Information

Vendor Neutral

If this project is coming from an existing proprietary codebase, ensure that all proprietary trademarks, logos, product names, etc. have been removed. All ONAP deliverables must comply with this rule and be agnostic of any proprietary symbols.

Free and Open Source Software

FOSS activities are critical to the delivery of the whole ONAP initiative. The information may not be fully available at Release Planning, however to avoid late refactoring, it is critical to accomplish this task as early as possible.
List all third party Free and Open Source Software used within the release and provide License type (BSD, MIT, Apache, GNU GPL,... ).
In the case non Apache License are found inform immediately the TSC and the Release Manager and document your reasoning on why you believe we can use a non Apache version 2 license.

Each project must edit its project table available at Project FOSS.

Charter Compliance

The project team comply with the ONAP Charter.
