CDS actor support in Policy
###########################

.. contents::
    :depth: 4

1. Overview of CDS Actor support in Policy
==========================================
ONAP Policy Framework now enables Controller Design Studio (CDS) as one of the supported actors.
This allows the users to configure Operational Policy to use CDS as an actor to remedy a situation.

Behind the scene, when an incoming event is received and validated against rules, Policy uses gRPC to trigger
the CBA (Controller Blueprint Archive: CDS artifact) as configured in the operational policy and providing CDS
with all the input parameters that is required to execute the chosen CBA.

2. Objective
============
The goal of the user guide is to clarify the contract between Policy and CDS so that a CBA developer can respect
this input contract towards CDS when implementing the CBA.

3. Contract between Policy and CDS
==================================
Policy upon receiving an incoming event from DCAE fires the rules and decides which actor to trigger.
If the CDS actor is the chosen, Policy triggers the CBA execution using gRPC.

The parameters required for the execution of a CBA are internally handled by Policy.
It makes uses of the incoming event, the operational policy configured and AAI lookup to build the CDS request payload.

3.1 CDS Blueprint Execution Payload format as invoked by Policy
---------------------------------------------------------------
Below are the details of the contract established between Policy and CDS to enable the automation of a remediation
action within the scope of a closed loop usecase in ONAP.

The format of the input payload for CDS follows the below guidelines, hence a CBA developer must consider this when
implementing the CBA logic.
For the sake of simplicity a JSON payload is used instead of a gRPC payload and each attribute of the child-nodes
is documented.

3.1.1 CommonHeader
******************

The "commonHeader" field in the CBA execute payload is built by policy.

=============================== =========== ================================================================
   "commonHeader" field name       type                             Description
=============================== =========== ================================================================
subRequestId                      string      Generated by Policy. Is a UUID and used internally by policy.
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.
originatorId                      string      Generated by Policy and fixed to "POLICY"
=============================== =========== ================================================================

3.1.2 ActionIdentifiers
***********************

The "actionIdentifiers" field uniquely identifies the CBA and the workflow to execute.

==================================== =========== =============================================================
   "actionIdentifiers" field name       type                         Description
==================================== =========== =============================================================
mode                                   string      Inserted by Policy and fixed to "sync" presently.
blueprintName                          string      Inserted by Policy. Maps to the attribute that holds the
                                                   blueprint-name in the operational policy configuration.
blueprintVersion                       string      Inserted by Policy. Maps to the attribute that holds the
                                                   blueprint-version in the operational policy configuration.
actionName                             string      Inserted by Policy. Maps to the attribute that holds the
                                                   action-name in the operational policy configuration.
==================================== =========== =============================================================

3.1.3 Payload
*************

The "payload" JSON node is generated by Policy for the action-name specified in the "actionIdentifiers" field
which is eventually supplied through the operational policy configuration as indicated above.

3.1.3.1 Action request object
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The "$actionName-request" object is generated by CDS for the action-name specified in the "actionIdentifiers" field.

The "$actionName-request" object contains:

* a field called "resolution-key" which CDS uses to store the resolved parameters into the CDS context
* a child node object called "$actionName-properties" which holds a map of all the parameters that serve
  as inputs to the CBA. It presently holds the below information:

  * all the AAI enriched attributes
  * additional parameters embedded in the Control Loop Event format which is sent by DCAE (analytics application).
  * any static information supplied through operational policy configuration which is not specific to an event
    but applies across all the events.

The data description for the action request object fields is as below:

- Resolution-key

===================================== =========== ======================================================================
   "$actionName-request" field name      type                                Description
===================================== =========== ======================================================================
resolution-key                          string      Generated by Policy. Is a UUID, generated each time CBA execute
                                                    request is invoked.
===================================== =========== ======================================================================

- Action properties object

======================================== =============== ===============================================================
   "$actionName-properties" field name        type                               Description
======================================== =============== ===============================================================
[$aai_node_type.$aai_attribute]              map             Inserted by Policy after performing AAI enrichment.
                                                             Is a map that contains AAI parameters for the target and
                                                             conforms to the notation: $aai_node_type.$aai_attribute.
                                                             E.g. for PNF the map looks like below.

                                                                       .. code-block:: json

        }
    }'

4. Operational Policy configuration to use CDS as an actor
==========================================================

4.1 TOSCA compliant Control Loop Operational Policy to support CDS actor
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A common base TOSCA policy type for defining an operational policy is documented below:

* https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=policy/models.git;a=blob;f=models-examples/src/main/resources/policytypes/onap.policies.controlloop.operational.Common.yaml;h=fe6f974bb98a90e2e41639621ba35cc853679ee5;hb=HEAD

APEX PDP specific operational policy is derived from the common operational TOSCA policy type as defined in the link below:
* https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=policy/models.git;a=blob;f=models-examples/src/main/resources/policytypes/onap.policies.controlloop.operational.common.Apex.yaml;h=54b69c2d8a78ab7fd8d41d3f7c05632c4d7e433d;hb=HEAD

Drools PDP specific operational policy is also derived from the common operational TOSCA policy type and is defined in the link below:
* https://gerrit.onap.org/r/gitweb?p=policy/models.git;a=blob;f=models-examples/src/main/resources/policytypes/onap.policies.controlloop.operational.common.Drools.yaml;h=69d73db5827cb6743172f9e0b1930eca8ba4ec0c;hb=HEAD

For integration testing CLAMP UI can be used to configure the Operational Policy.

E.g. Sample Operational Policy definition for vFW usecase to use CDS as an actor:

.. code-block:: bash

    tosca_definitions_version: tosca_simple_yaml_1_1_0
    topology_template:
        policies:
        -   operational.modifyconfig.cds:
                type: onap.policies.controlloop.operational.common.Drools
                type_version: 1.0.0
                version: 1.0.0
                metadata:
                    policy-id: operational.modifyconfig.cds
                properties:
                    id: ControlLoop-vFirewall-d0a1dfc6-94f5-4fd4-a5b5-4630b438850a
                    timeout: 1200
                    abatement: false
                    trigger: unique-policy-id-1-modifyConfig
                    operations:
                    -   id: unique-policy-id-1-modifyConfig
                        description: Modify the packet generator
                        operation:
                            actor: CDS
                            operation: ModifyConfig
                            target:
                                targetType: VNF
                                entityId:
                                    resourceID: bbb3cefd-01c8-413c-9bdd-2b92f9ca3d38
                            payload:
                                artifact_name: vfw-cds
                                artifact_version: 1.0.0
                                mode: async
                                data: '{"active-streams":"7"}'
                        timeout: 300
                        retries: 0
                        success: final_success
                        failure: final_failure
                        failure_timeout: final_failure_timeout
                        failure_retries: final_failure_retries
                        failure_exception: final_failure_exception
                        failure_guard: final_failure_guard
                    controllerName: usecases

4.2 API to configure the Control Loop Operational policy
--------------------------------------------------------

4.2.1 Policy creation
*********************
