As a result, the +actor implementation must cope with the fact that requests may appear on the same +stream from which it is reading responses, thus it must use the message content to +distinguish responses from requests. This particular implementation uses the *Status* +field to identify responses. + +In addition, APPC may generate more than one response for a particular request, the +first response simply indicating that the request was accepted, while the second +response indicates completion of the request. For each request, a unique sub-request +ID is generated. This is used to match the received responses with the published +requests. + +Each operation supported by the actor is associated with its own java class, which is +responsible for populating the request structure appropriately. The operation-specific +classes are all derived from the *AppcOperation* class, which is, itself, derived from +*BidirectionalTopicOperation*. + + +Request +####### + +CommonHeader +************ + +The "CommonHeader" field in the request is built by policy. + +=============================== =========== ================================================================== + "CommonHeader" field name type Description +=============================== =========== ================================================================== +SubRequestID string Generated by Policy. Is a UUID and used internally by policy + to match the response with the request. +RequestID string Inserted by Policy. Maps to the UUID sent by DCAE i.e. the ID + used throughout the closed loop lifecycle to identify a request. +=============================== =========== ================================================================== + +Action +****** + +The "Action" field uniquely identifies the operation to perform. Currently, only +"ModifyConfig" is supported. + +Payload +******* + +=============================== =========== ================================================================== + "Payload" field name type Description +=============================== =========== ================================================================== +generic-vnf.vnf-id string The ID of the VNF selected from the A&AI Custom Query response + using the Target resource ID specified in the + *ControlLoopOperationParams*. +=============================== =========== ================================================================== + +Additional fields are populated based on the *payload* specified within the +*ControlLoopOperationParams*. Each value found within the *payload* is treated as a +JSON string and is decoded into a POJO, which is then inserted into the request payload +using the same key. + + +Examples +######## + +Suppose the *ControlLoopOperationParams* were populated as follows: + +.. code-block:: bash + + { + "actor": "APPC", + "operation": "ModifyConfig", + "target": { + "resourceID": "2246ebc9-9b9f-42d0-a5e4-0248324fb884" + }, + "payload": { + "my-key-A": "{\"input\":\"hello\"}", + "my-key-B": "{\"output\":\"world\"}" + }, + "context": { + "cqdata": { + "generic-vnf": [ + { + "vnfId": "my-vnf", + "vf-modules": [ + { + "model-invariant-id": "2246ebc9-9b9f-42d0-a5e4-0248324fb884" + } + ] + } + ] + } + } + } + +An example of a request constructed by the actor using the above parameters, published +to the APPC topic: + +.. code-block:: bash + + { + "CommonHeader": { + "TimeStamp": 1589400050910, + "APIver": "1.01", + "RequestID": "79e1d7d4-bac1-4399-8ee5-f84419c5723d", + "SubRequestID": "ee3f2dc0-a2e0-4ae8-98c3-478c784b8eb5", + "RequestTrack": [], + "Flags": [] + }, + "Action": "ModifyConfig", + "Payload": { + "my-key-B": { + "output": "world" + }, + "my-key-A": { + "input": "hello" + }, + "generic-vnf.vnf-id": "my-vnf" + } + } + + +An example initial response received from APPC on the same topic: + +.. code-block:: bash + + { + "CommonHeader": { + "TimeStamp": 1589400050923, + "APIver": "1.01", + "RequestID": "c7c6a4aa-bb61-4a15-b831-ba1472dd4a65", + "SubRequestID": "ee3f2dc0-a2e0-4ae8-98c3-478c784b8eb5", + "RequestTrack": [], + "Flags": [] + }, + "Status": { + "Code": 100, + "Value": "ACCEPTED" + } + } + + +An example final response received from APPC on the same topic: + +.. code-block:: bash + + { + "CommonHeader": { + "TimeStamp": 1589400050934, + "APIver": "1.01", + "RequestID": "c7c6a4aa-bb61-4a15-b831-ba1472dd4a65", + "SubRequestID": "ee3f2dc0-a2e0-4ae8-98c3-478c784b8eb5", + "RequestTrack": [], + "Flags": [] + }, + "Status": { + "Code": 400, + "Value": "SUCCESS" + } + } + + +Configuration of the APPC Legacy Actor +###################################### + +The following table specifies the fields that should be provided to configure the APPC +Legacy actor. + +=============================== ==================== ================================================================== +Field name type Description +=============================== ==================== ================================================================== +sinkTopic string Name of the topic to which the request should be published. +sourceTopic string Name of the topic from which the response should be read. +timeoutSec integer (optional) Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response to be received + on the topic. +=============================== ==================== ================================================================== + +The individual operations are configured using these same field names.
