This page describes how to demonstrate the entire flow from Non-RT RIC Controlpanel → Policy Agent →  A1 controller in SDNC -> Near-RealTime RIC Simulator

• Overview of the End to End call

• End to End call from Dashboard to Near-RT RIC simulator

  • Preparation

  • Perform Policy Operations via Dashboard

Overview of the End to End call

Details of the architecture can be found from the following link: Guilin Release

End to End call from OSC NONRTRIC Control Panel to OSC Near-RT RIC simulator via ONAP A1 Policy Management Service & ONAP A1 Adapter

Preparation

See Build/Run for building and starting the environment.

Perform Policy Operations via Dashboard

• Open Dashboard UI at http://localhost:8080/

• Click on Config and the screen below with STD_QosNudging_0.2.0 policy type should open

• Click on '+' icon to create new policy

• Choose your ric (ric1 or ric2) from drop-down menu and provide any arbitrary values for QoS Id, Ue Id and Priority

• Submit the policy (you then need to also press Close to return from creation view)

• An entry to the chosen Near-RT RIC simulator console/log should appear (see, for example, docker logs ric1 in case ric1 policy was created):

^{172.18.0.6 - - [20/Apr/2020 07:56:04] "PUT /a1-p/policytypes/123/policies/58157215-6182-4fea-a9b4-f3814fbf91eb HTTP/1.1" 202 -} 

• You may repeat the creation process a few times for different rics - below we see one policy created to ric1 and two to ric2

• Click the pen icon to modify any policy

• Modifications are submitted in the same way as in creation, and the resulting simulator log should also be same as the one we saw in creation

^{172.18.0.6 - - [20/Apr/2020 07:58:12] "PUT /a1-p/policytypes/123/policies/377ac417-5e1e-4088-81cd-f4a5549f79fa HTTP/1.1" 202 -}

• Delete any policy by clicking the red trashcan icon

• Confirm deletion and verify the log on simulator side:

^{172.18.0.6 - - [20/Apr/2020 08:02:19] "DELETE /a1-p/policytypes/123/policies/b204bd1d-f28c-4a05-bb4c-82d49a1b1e12 HTTP/1.1" 202 -}
