See :ref:`pdpd-engine-label` for the description of the PDP-D infrastructure. At this time *Control Loops* are the only type of applications supported. *Control Loop* applications must support at least one of the following *Policy Types*: - **onap.policies.controlloop.Operational** (Operational Policies for Legacy Control Loops) - **onap.policies.controlloop.operational.common.Drools** (Tosca Compliant Operational Policies) Software ======== Source Code repositories ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The PDP-D Applications software resides on the `policy/drools-applications `__ repository. The actor libraries introduced in the *frankfurt* release reside in the `policy/models repository `__. At this time, the *control loop* application is the only application supported in ONAP. All the application projects reside under the `controlloop directory `__. Docker Image ~~~~~~~~~~~~ See the *drools-applications* `released versions `__ for the latest images: .. code-block:: bash docker pull onap/policy-pdpd-cl:1.6.4 At the time of this writing *1.6.4* is the latest version. The *onap/policy-pdpd-cl* image extends the *onap/policy-drools* image with the *usecases* controller that realizes the *control loop* application. Usecases Controller ==================== The `usecases `__ controller is the *control loop* application in ONAP. There are three parts in this controller: * The `drl rules `__. * The `kmodule.xml `__. * The `dependencies `__. The `kmodule.xml` specifies only one session, and declares in the *kbase* section the two operational policy types that it supports. The Usecases controller relies on the new Actor framework to interact with remote components, part of a control loop transaction. The reader is referred to the *Policy Platform Actor Development Guidelines* in the documentation for further information. Operational Policy Types ======================== The *usecases* controller supports the two Operational policy types: - *onap.policies.controlloop.Operational*. - *onap.policies.controlloop.operational.common.Drools*. The *onap.policies.controlloop.Operational* is the legacy operational type, used before the *frankfurt* release. The *onap.policies.controlloop.operational.common.Drools* is the Tosca compliant policy type introduced in *frankfurt*. The legacy operational policy type is defined at the `onap.policies.controlloop.Operational.yaml `__. The Tosca Compliant Operational Policy Type is defined at the `onap.policies.controlloop.operational.common.Drools `__. An example of a Legacy Operational Policy can be found `here `__. An example of a Tosca Compliant Operational Policy can be found `here `__. Policy Chaining =============== The *usecases* controller supports chaining of multiple operations inside a Tosca Operational Policy. The next operation can be chained based on the result/output from an operation. The possibilities available for chaining are: - *success: chain after the result of operation is success* - *failure: chain after the result of operation is failure due to issues with controller/actor* - *failure_timeout: chain after the result of operation is failure due to timeout* - *failure_retries: chain after the result of operation is failure after all retries* - *failure_exception: chain after the result of operation is failure due to exception* - *failure_guard: chain after the result of operation is failure due to guard not allowing the operation* An example of policy chaining for VNF can be found `here `__. An example of policy chaining for PNF can be found `here `__. Features ======== Since the PDP-D Control Loop Application image was created from the PDP-D Engine one (*onap/policy-drools*), it inherits all features and functionality. The enabled features in the *onap/policy-pdpd-cl* image are: - **distributed locking**: distributed resource locking. - **healthcheck**: healthcheck. - **lifecycle**: enables the lifecycle APIs. - **controlloop-trans**: control loop transaction tracking. - **controlloop-management**: generic controller capabilities. - **controlloop-usecases**: new *controller* introduced in the guilin release to realize the ONAP use cases. The following features are installed but disabled: - **controlloop-frankfurt**: *controller* used in the frankfurt release. - **controlloop-tdjam**: experimental java-only *controller* to be deprecated post guilin. - **controlloop-utils**: *actor* simulators. Control Loops Transaction (controlloop-trans) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It tracks Control Loop Transactions and Operations. These are recorded in the *$POLICY_LOGS/audit.log* and *$POLICY_LOGS/metrics.log*, and accessible through the telemetry APIs. Control Loops Management (controlloop-management) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It installs common control loop application resources, and provides telemetry API extensions. *Actor* configurations are packaged in this feature. Usecases Controller (controlloop-usecases) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is the *guilin* release implementation of the ONAP use cases. It relies on the new *Actor* model framework to carry out a policy's execution. Frankfurt Controller (controlloop-frankfurt) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the frankfurt controller that will be deprecated after the guilin release. TDJAM Controller (controlloop-tdjam) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is an experimental, java-only controller that will be deprecated after the guilin release. Utilities (controlloop-utils) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Enables *actor simulators* for testing purposes. Offline Mode ============ The default ONAP installation in *onap/policy-pdpd-cl:1.6.4* is *OFFLINE*. In this configuration, the *rules* artifact and the *dependencies* are all in the local maven repository. This requires that the maven dependencies are preloaded in the local repository. An offline configuration requires two configuration items: - *OFFLINE* environment variable set to true (see `values.yaml `__. - override of the default *settings.xml* (see `settings.xml `__) override. Running the PDP-D Control Loop Application in a single container ================================================================ Environment File ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ First create an environment file (in this example *env.conf*) to configure the PDP-D. .. code-block:: bash # SYSTEM software configuration POLICY_HOME=/opt/app/policy POLICY_LOGS=/var/log/onap/policy/pdpd KEYSTORE_PASSWD=Pol1cy_0nap TRUSTSTORE_PASSWD=Pol1cy_0nap # Telemetry credentials TELEMETRY_PORT=9696 TELEMETRY_HOST=0.0.0.0 TELEMETRY_USER=demo@people.osaaf.org TELEMETRY_PASSWORD=demo123456! # nexus repository SNAPSHOT_REPOSITORY_ID= SNAPSHOT_REPOSITORY_URL= RELEASE_REPOSITORY_ID= RELEASE_REPOSITORY_URL= REPOSITORY_USERNAME= REPOSITORY_PASSWORD= REPOSITORY_OFFLINE=true MVN_SNAPSHOT_REPO_URL= MVN_RELEASE_REPO_URL= # Relational (SQL) DB access SQL_HOST= SQL_USER= SQL_PASSWORD= # AAF AAF=false AAF_NAMESPACE=org.onap.policy AAF_HOST=aaf.api.simpledemo.onap.org # PDP-D DMaaP configuration channel PDPD_CONFIGURATION_TOPIC=PDPD-CONFIGURATION PDPD_CONFIGURATION_API_KEY= PDPD_CONFIGURATION_API_SECRET= PDPD_CONFIGURATION_CONSUMER_GROUP= PDPD_CONFIGURATION_CONSUMER_INSTANCE= PDPD_CONFIGURATION_PARTITION_KEY= # PAP-PDP configuration channel POLICY_PDP_PAP_TOPIC=POLICY-PDP-PAP POLICY_PDP_PAP_GROUP=defaultGroup # Symmetric Key for encoded sensitive data SYMM_KEY= # Healthcheck Feature HEALTHCHECK_USER=demo@people.osaaf.org HEALTHCHECK_PASSWORD=demo123456! # Pooling Feature POOLING_TOPIC=POOLING # PAP PAP_HOST= PAP_USERNAME= PAP_PASSWORD= # PAP legacy PAP_LEGACY_USERNAME= PAP_LEGACY_PASSWORD= # PDP-X PDP_HOST=localhost PDP_PORT=6669 PDP_CONTEXT_URI=pdp/api/getDecision PDP_USERNAME=policy PDP_PASSWORD=password GUARD_DISABLED=true # DCAE DMaaP DCAE_TOPIC=unauthenticated.DCAE_CL_OUTPUT DCAE_SERVERS=localhost DCAE_CONSUMER_GROUP=dcae.policy.shared # Open DMaaP DMAAP_SERVERS=localhost # AAI AAI_HOST=localhost AAI_PORT=6666 AAI_CONTEXT_URI= AAI_USERNAME=policy AAI_PASSWORD=policy # SO SO_HOST=localhost SO_PORT=6667 SO_CONTEXT_URI= SO_URL=https://localhost:6667/ SO_USERNAME=policy SO_PASSWORD=policy # VFC VFC_HOST=localhost VFC_PORT=6668 VFC_CONTEXT_URI=api/nslcm/v1/ VFC_USERNAME=policy VFC_PASSWORD=policy # SDNC SDNC_HOST=localhost SDNC_PORT=6670 SDNC_CONTEXT_URI=restconf/operations/ Configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ noop.pre.sh """"""""""" In order to avoid the noise in the logs that relate to dmaap configuration, a startup script (*noop.pre.sh*) is added to convert *dmaap* endpoints to *noop* in the host directory to be mounted. .. code-block:: bash #!/bin/bash -x sed -i "s/^dmaap/noop/g" $POLICY_HOME/config/*.properties features.pre.sh """"""""""""""" We can enable the *controlloop-utils* and disable the *distributed-locking* feature to avoid using the database. .. code-block:: bash #!/bin/bash -x bash -c "/opt/app/policy/bin/features disable distributed-locking" bash -c "/opt/app/policy/bin/features enable controlloop-utils" active.post.sh """""""""""""" The *active.post.sh* script makes the PDP-D active. .. code-block:: bash #!/bin/bash -x bash -c "http --verify=no -a ${TELEMETRY_USER}:${TELEMETRY_PASSWORD} PUT https://localhost:9696/policy/pdp/engine/lifecycle/state/ACTIVE" Actor Properties """""""""""""""" In the *guilin* release, some *actors* configurations need to be overridden to support *http* for compatibility with the *controlloop-utils* feature.
