All implementation details are explained here: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/A1+Adapter+in+ONAP - -How to Use -~~~~~~~~~~ - -Following steps describe a general procedure about how to use A1 adaptor. - -1. ONAP Frankfurt includes A1 adaptor. - -2. Edit A1 adaptor property file in sdnc container at dev-sdnc-x POD. (dev is an example of release name and x is replica number) - - a. A property file is located at /opt/onap/ccsdk/data/properties/a1-adapter-api-dg.properties. - - b. SSH into a rancher node (NFS/rancher). - - c. sudo su - - d. kubectl get pods -n onap -o wide | grep sdnc - - e. execute the following command to all sdnc PODs to update properties files. - - - kubectl exec -it dev-sdnc-x bash (x=0,1,2, depending on number of sdnc replicas in the setup) - - f. Once in the docker, edit the properties file. - - g. Make following configuration changes per setup - - - Update IP address and port number for Near-Real Time RIC as below - - - near-rt-ric-id=a.b.c.d:port - -A1 adaptor has been tested with A1 mediator as an example of Near-Real Time RIC. Detailed information can be found at its repo: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=ric-plt%2Fric-dep.git;a=shortlog;h=refs%2Fheads%2Fmaster. - -Test Status and Plans -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -For ONAP Frankfurt, A1 adaptor has not been involved in a full closed loop use case. A1 adaptor has gone through a unit test with A1 mediator in OSC as a underlying device. It has been tested for receiving A1 policy via DMaaP and publishing a response back to DMaaP as well as notification.
