The guide assumes a knowledge of the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) components and features, and familiarity with JSON notation. + + +Conventions +----------- + ++--------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| Convention | Description | +| | | ++==============+==========================================================================================+ +|``Monospace`` | This font indicates sample codes, screenshots, or elements. For example:: | +| | | +| | "contact": { | +| | "contactType": "USER", | +| | "source": "app1", | +| | } | +| | | ++--------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +|*Italics* | Emphasizes a point or denotes new terms at the place where they are defined in the text. | +| | Indicates an external book title reference. | +| | | ++--------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + + +Life Cycle Management Commands +============================== + +APPC receives commands from external ECOMP components, such as SO, Policy, DCAE, or the Portal, to manage the life cycle of virtual applications and their components. + +A virtual application is composed of the following layers of network technology: + +- Virtual Network Function (VNF) +- Virtual Network Function Component (VNFC) +- Virtual Machine (VM) + +A Life Cycle Management (LCM) command may affect one or more of these layers. + +An LCM command is sent as a request to the APPC using an HTTP POST request or in a message on a message bus (DMaaP or UEB). A request may result in either a single synchronous response or multiple asynchronous responses: + +- An **asynchronous** command, which is sent as an authorized and valid request, results in at least two discrete response events: + - an accept response, to indicate that the request is accepted for processing + - a final response to indicate the status and outcome of the request processing + - An unauthorized or invalid request results in a single ERROR response. + +- A **synchronous** command, such as Lock or Unlock, results in a single response that is either SUCCESS or ERROR. + +**NOTE:** For both asynchronous or synchronous commands, the first response is always returned using the same transport that the initial action used. For example, if the action request was via the message bus (such as when it originates from Policy), then the response is also via the message bus. However, if the request was via a direct HTTP call, the response is similarly a synchronous HTTP response. + + +Message Bus and the LCM API Client Library +------------------------------------------ + +The recommended approach for sending/receiving requests to APPC is via the message bus. To support this approach, an APPC client library is available and should be used. The client library aims to provide consumers of APPC capabilities with a strongly-typed Java interface and to encapsulate the actual interaction with APPC component via the message bus. + +For more details, see the APPC Client Library Guide at: + + guides/appc_api_client + + +The client library supports both synchronous and asynchronous flows as follows. + +Asynchronous Flow +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- The APPC Client Library is called via an asynchronous API using a full command object, which is mapped to a JSON representation. +- The APPC client calls the UEB/DMaaP client and sends the JSON command to a configured topic. +- The APPC client pulls response messages from the configured topic. +- On receiving the response for the command, APPC client runs the relevant callback method of the consumer ResponseHandler. + +Synchronous Flow +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +- The APPC Client Library is called via a synchronous API using a full command object, which is mapped to a JSON representation. +- The APPC client calls the UEB/DMaaP client and sends the JSON command to a configured topic. +- The APPC client pulls response messages from the configured topic. +- On receiving the final response for the command, the APPC client returns the response object with a final status. + +The client library adds the following wrapper around request and responses to the LCM API (described below):: + + { + "version" : "2.0", + "cambria.partition" : "<TOPIC>", + "correlation-id" :"<CORRELATION_ID>", + "rpc-name" : "<RPC_NME>", + "type" : <MESSAGE_TYPE> + "body" : <RPC_SPECIFIC_BODY> + } + + + +Table 1 Request / Response Message Fields + ++----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+ +| **Field** | **Description** | **Required** | ++======================+================================================================================================================+=====================+ +| version | Indicates the version of the message bus protocol with APPC.

+--------------------------- + +The APPC architecture is designed for VNF self-service onboarding (i.e., a VNF owner or vendor through the use of tools can enable a new VNF to support the LCM API actions that are designate as self-service). The VNF must support one or more of the following interface protocols: + +- Netconf with uploadable Yang model (requires a Netconf server running + on the VNF) + +- Chef (requires a Chef client running on the VNF) + +- Ansible (does not require any changes to the VNF software) + +The self-service onboarding process is done using an APPC Design GUI which interacts with an APPC instance which is dedicated to self-service onboarding. The steps in the onboarding process using the APPC Design GUI are: + +- Define the VNF capabilities (set of actions that the VNF can + support). + +- Create a template and parameter definitions for actions which use the + Netconf, Chef, or Ansible protocols. The template is an xml or JSON + block which defines the “payload” which is included in the request + that is downloaded the VNF (if Netconf) or Chef/Ansible server. + +- Test actions which have templates/parameter definitions. + +- Upload the VNF definition, template, and parameter definition + artifacts to SDC which distributes them to all APPC instances in the + same environment (e.g., production). + +For more details, see the APPC Self-Service VNF Onboarding Guide (add link). + + + +LCM Commands +============ + +The LCM commands that are valid for the current release. + + +Audit +----- + +The Audit command compares the configuration of the VNF associated with the current request against the most recent configuration that is stored in APPC's configuration database. + +A successful Audit means that the current VNF configuration matches the latest APPC stored configuration. + +A failed Audit indicates that the configurations do not match. + +This command can be applied to any VNF type. The only restriction is that the VNF has been onboarded in self-service mode (which requires that the VNF supports a request to return the running configuration). + +The Audit action does not require any payload parameters. + +**NOTE:** Audit does not return a payload containing details of the comparison, only the Success/Failure status. + + ++------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **Target URL** | /restconf /operations/ appc-provider-lcm:audit | ++------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **Action** | Audit | ++------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **Action-Identifiers** | vnf-id | ++------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **Payload Parameters** | See below | ++------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ +| **Revision History** | Unchanged in this version. | ++------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+ + +| + ++----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+ +| **Parameter** | **Description** | **Required?** | **Example** | ++======================+===========================================================================================================================================================+=====================+==================================+ +| publish-config | \* If the publish\_config field is set to Y in the payload, then always send the running configuration from the VNF using the Data Router | Yes | "publish-config": "<Y\|N>" | +| | | | | +| | \* If the publish\_config field is set to N in the payload, then: | | | +| | | | | +| | - If the result of the audit is ‘match’ (latest APPC config and the running config match), do not send the running configuration in the Data Router | | | +| | | | | +| | - If the result of the audit is ‘no match’, then send the running configuration on the Data Router | | | ++----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+ + +Audit Response +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The audit response returns an indication of success or failure of the audit.
