About the Client Library
------------------------
- The APPC client library provides consumers of APPC capabilities with
- a strongly-typed Java interface and encapsulates the actual
- interaction with the APPC component over an asynchronous messaging
- channel such as UEB.
+The APPC client library provides consumers of APPC capabilities with a strongly-typed Java interface and encapsulates the actual interaction with the APPC component over an asynchronous messaging channel such as UEB.
Consumer Logic
--------------
- The client application that consumes APPC's capability for VNF
- lifecycle management (the APPC client library) can be implemented
- against the lightweight and strongly-typed Java API exposed by the
- APPC client library. The library does not try to impose
- architectural constraints upon clients, but instead provides support
- for different options and styles of API. It is the responsibility of
- the client application to select the most suitable paradigm to use;
- for example, a client may choose to use blocking calls as opposed to
- asynchronous notifications.

VNF Lifecycle Management API
----------------------------
- The API represents a relatively thin layer that consists mainly of
- business interfaces with strongly-typed APIs and a data object model
- created for the convenience of the consumer application. 
-
- The original YANG schema used by the APPC component and the
- underlying MD-SAL layer on the server-side generates these
- artifacts.

+====================
+
+Jar Files
+---------
- The Java application that runs the APPC client kit uses the
- following jar files:
+The Java application that runs the APPC client kit uses the following jar files:
-- com.att.appc.client.client-kit
+ - com.att.appc.client.client-kit
+ - com.att.appc.client.client-lib
-- com.att.appc.client.client-lib
+The client library JAR files are located in the repository under ``com\\att\\appc\\client``.
- The client library JAR files are located in the repository under
- /gerrit.onap.org/r/p/appc.git/appc-client.
-
-Initialization
+Initialization
--------------
- Initialize the client by calling the following method:
-
- AppcClientServiceFactoryProvider.getFactory(AppcLifeCycleManagerServiceFactory.class).createLifeCycleManagerStateful()
-
- Specify the following configuration properties as method parameters:
-
-- "topic.read"
-
-- "topic.read.timeout"
-
-- "topic.write"
-
-- "client.key"
+Initialize the client by calling the following method:
-- "client.secret"
+``AppcClientServiceFactoryProvider.getFactory(AppcLifeCycleManagerServiceFactory.class).createLifeCycleManagerStateful()``
-- "client.name"
+Specify the following configuration properties as method parameters:
-- "client.name.id"
-
-- "poolMembers"
-
-- "client.response.timeout"
-
-- "client.graceful.shutdown.timeout"
+ - "topic.read"
+ - "topic.read.timeout"
+ - "topic.write"
+ - "client.key"
+ - "client.secret"
+ - "client.name"
+ - "client.name.id"
+ - "poolMembers"
+ - “client.response.timeout”
+ - “client.graceful.shutdown.timeout”
Shutdown
--------
Shutdown the client by calling the following method:
-void shutdownLifeCycleManager(boolean isForceShutdown)
+``void shutdownLifeCycleManager(boolean isForceShutdown)``
-If the isForceShutdown flag is set to false, the client shuts down as
-soon as all responses for pending requests are received, or upon
-configurable timeout. (client.graceful.shutdown.timeout).
+If the ``isForceShutdown`` flag is set to false, the client shuts down as soon as all responses for pending requests are received, or upon configurable timeout. (``client.graceful.shutdown.timeout``).
-If the isForceShutdown flag is set to true, the client shuts down
-immediately.
+If the ``isForceShutdown`` flag is set to true, the client shuts down immediately.
Invoking LCM Commands
---------------------
Invoke the LCM commands by:
-- Creating input objects, such as AuditInput, LiveUpgradeInput, with
- relevant command information.
-
-- Executing commands asynchronously, for example:

-void liveUpgrade(LiveUpgradeInput liveUpgradeInput,
-ResponseHandler<LiveUpgradeOutput> listener) throws
-AppcClientException;)
+``void liveUpgrade(LiveUpgradeInput liveUpgradeInput, ResponseHandler<LiveUpgradeOutput> listener) throws AppcClientException;)``
In this case, client should implement the ResponseHandler<T> interface.
-- Executing commands synchronously, for example:

+
+``LiveUpgradeOutput liveUpgrade(LiveUpgradeInput liveUpgradeInput) throws AppcClientException;)``
-LiveUpgradeOutput liveUpgrade(LiveUpgradeInput liveUpgradeInput) throws

Client API

+==========
- After initializing the client, a returned Object of type
- LifeCycleManagerStateful defines all the Life Cycle Management APIs
- supported by APPC.
