The CLAMP Control Loop Runtime Lifecycle Management uses the following system level dialogues. These dialogues enable the CLAMP runtime capabilities described in Section 2 of TOSCA Defined Control Loops: Architecture and Design. Design Time dialogues will be described in future releases of the system.
1 Commissioning Dialogues
Commissioning dialogues are used to commission and decommission Control Loop Type definitions and to set the values of Common Parameters.
1.1 Commissioning a Control Loop Type Definition using the CLAMP GUI
This dialogue corresponds to a "File→Import" menu on the CLAMP GUI. The documentation of future releases of the system will describe how the Design Time functionality interacts with the Runtime commissioning API.
1.2 Commissioning a Control Loop Type Definition using SDC
1.3 Setting Common Parameters for a Control Loop Type Definition
1.4 Priming a Control Loop Type Definition on Participants
1.5 De-Prime a Control Loop Type Definition on Participants
This dialogue allows a Control Loop Type Definition to be de-primed so that it can be deleted or its common parameter values can be altered.
1.6 Decommissioning a Control Loop Type Definition in CLAMP
1.7 Reading Commissioned Control Loop Type Definitions
2. Instantiation Dialogues
Instantiation dialogues are used to create, set parameters on, instantiate, update, and remove Control Loop instances.
Assume a suitable Control Loop Definition exists in the Commissioned Control Loop Inventory. To get a Control Loop instance running one would, for example, execute dialogues 2.1, 2.3, and 2.4.
2.1 Creating a Control Loop Instance
2.2 Updating Instance Specific Parameters on a Control Loop Instance
2.3 Updating a Control Loop Instance Version on Participants
2.4 Changing the state of a Control Loop Instance on Participants
2.5 De-instantiating a Control Loop Instance from Participants
2.6 Deleting a Control Loop Instance
2.7 Reading Control Loop Instances
3. Monitoring Dialogues
Monitoring dialogues are used to monitor and to read statistics on Control Loop Instances.
3.1 Reporting of Monitoring Information and Statistics by Participants
3.2 Viewing of Monitoring Information
3.2 Viewing of Statistics
3.3 Statistics Housekeeping
4. Supervision Dialogues
Supervision dialogues are used to check the state of Control Loop Instances and Participants.
