+The Model Loader supports two methods for supplying VNF Catalog data for loading into A&AI:

+* VNF Catalog XML files<br/>VNF Catalog data in the form of XML files can be supplied in the CSAR under the path `Artifacts/Deployment/VNF_CATALOG`
+
+**Note: Each CSAR should provide VNF Catalog information using only one of the above methods. If a CSAR contains both TOSCA and XML VNF Catalog information, a deploy failure will be logged and published to SDC, and no VNF Catalog data will be loaded into A&AI**
