+DCAE Analytics
+======================================
+
+This is the repository for CDAP analytics running on the Analytics Platform for Open DCAE (APOD).  Currently this repository contains the TCA Hi Lo CDAP application.
+
+### Build Instructions
+
+This project is organized as a mvn project for a jar package.
+
+```
+git clone ssh://git@<repo-address>:dcae-apod/dcae-analytics.git
+mvn clean install
+```
+
+### Distribution of built artifacts
+
+We use OpenECOMP Nexus as a distribution server.
+
+```
+<following a successful build>
+
+$ export MAVEN_OPTS="-Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.insecure=true -Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.allowall=true"
+$ mvn deploy
+```
+
+### Debian Packaging
+
+The jar file is bundled into a Debian package and sent to the OpenECOMP Nexus server where
+it will be picked up and installed by the DCAE Controller.  Following is the process to
+create the Debian package and upload it to the OpenECOMP Nexus distribution server.
+
+<following a successful build and deploy>
+
+#### Set up the packaging environment
+1. Extract the build tools and config file 
+The build tools and configuration files for all of APOD are in the dcae-apod-buildtools repository which is part of the dcae-apod Project.
+```
+$ git clone ssh://git@<repo-address>:dcae-apod/dcae-apod-buildtools.git
+```
+From this repo you will need:
+ - The package script from the scripts directory
+ - The package-dcae-analytics-tca.json file from the configs directory
+
+2. Set up the packaging environment
+The packaging script requires directories named stage and output.  The stage directory will contain all the directories and files that will packaged.  The output directory is where the Debian file will be put.
+
+The package-dcae-analytics-tca.json configuration file contains the parameters that the package script needs in order to create the Debian package.  
+
+NOTE: The user should only set the variable between the "User sets these" block.  The Debian file MUST have a specific name in order for the DCAE controller to find it an install it.   
+```

+
+echo "Copying json config file to stage"
+cp ${BUILD_TOOLS_DIR}/dcae-apod-buildtools/configs/package-dcae-analytics-tca.json ${STAGE_DIR}/package.json
+```
+#### Run the script to create the Debian package
+The package script will package what is in the stage directory as well as create a debian control file, change log, copyright file, md5checksums file and a postint file with any post install steps that need to be run as part of the installation. 
+
+The package script will put the Debian file that is created in ${OUTPUT_DIR}
+```
+echo "Creating debian package"
+${BUILD_DIR}/dcae-apod-buildtools/scripts/package -b debian -d ${STAGE_DIR} -o ${OUTPUT_DIR} -y package.json -B ${PACKAGE_BUILD_NUMBER} -v
+```
+#### Push the package to the OpenECOMP Nexus distribution server 
+<P>The Debian package that is created needs to be pushed up to the OpenECOMP Nexus distribution server where the DCAE Controller will pick it up an install it.
+<P>The controller needs the debian packaged named dcae-analytics-tca_17.01.0-LATEST.deb so it can find and deploy it.  In order to have a copy of each file built a copy of dcae-analytics-tca_17.01.0-LATEST.deb will be made and it will have a date stamp and build number on it.  For example:  dcae-analytics-tca_17.01.0-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS-XXX.deb Both files will then be uploaded to the repository.
