Policy Platform Development
---------------------------

.. contents::
    :depth: 2


This article explains how to build the ONAP Policy Framework for development purposes. To start, the developer should consult the latest ONAP Wiki to familiarize themselves with developer best practices and how-tos to setup their environment, see `https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Developer+Best+Practices`.


This article assumes that:

* You are using a *\*nix* operating system such as linux or macOS.
* You are using a directory called *git* off your home directory *(~/git)* for your git repositories
* Your local maven repository is in the location *~/.m2/repository*
* You have added settings to access the ONAP Nexus to your M2 configuration, see `Maven Settings Example <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Setting+Up+Your+Development+Environment>`_ (bottom of the linked page)

The procedure documented in this article has been verified to work on a MacBook laptop running macOS Yosemite Version 10.10,5, Sierra Version 10.12.6, a HP Z600 desktop running Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, and an Unbuntu 16.04 VM.

Cloning All The Policy Repositories
-----------------------------------

Run a script such as the script below to clone the required modules from the `ONAP git repository <https://gerrit.onap.org/r/#/admin/projects/?filter=policy>`_. This script clones all the ONAP Policy Framework repositories.

ONAP Policy Framework has dependencies to the ONAP Parent *oparent* module, the ONAP ECOMP SDK *ecompsdkos* module, and the A&AI Schema module.

   :linenos:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    ## script name for output
    MOD_SCRIPT_NAME=`basename $0`

    ## the ONAP clone directory, defaults to "onap"
    clone_dir="onap"

    ## the ONAP repos to clone
    onap_repos="\
    policy/parent \
    policy/common \
    policy/models \
    policy/docker \
    policy/api \
    policy/pap \
    policy/apex-pdp \
    policy/drools-pdp \
    policy/drools-applications \
    policy/xacml-pdp \
    policy/engine \
    policy/distribution"

    ##
    ## Help screen and exit condition (i.e. too few arguments)

    Help()
    {
        echo ""
        echo "$MOD_SCRIPT_NAME - clones all required ONAP git repositories"
        echo ""
        echo "       Usage:  $MOD_SCRIPT_NAME [-options]"
        echo ""
        echo "       Options"
        echo "         -d          - the ONAP clone directory, defaults to '.'"
        echo "         -h          - this help screen"
        echo ""
        exit 255;
    }

    while [ $# -gt 0 ]
    do
        case $1 in
            #-d ONAP clone directory
            -d)
                shift
                if [ -z "$1" ]; then
                    echo "$MOD_SCRIPT_NAME: no clone directory"
                    exit 1
                fi
                clone_dir=$1
                shift
            ;;

            #-h prints help and exists
            -h)
                Help;exit 0;;

            *)    echo "$MOD_SCRIPT_NAME: undefined CLI option - $1"; exit 255;;
        esac
    done

    if [ -f "$clone_dir" ]; then
        echo "$MOD_SCRIPT_NAME: requested clone directory '$clone_dir' exists as file"
        exit 2
    fi
    if [ -d "$clone_dir" ]; then
        echo "$MOD_SCRIPT_NAME: requested clone directory '$clone_dir' exists as directory"
        exit 2
    fi

    mkdir $clone_dir
    if [ $? != 0 ]
    then
        echo cannot clone ONAP repositories, could not create directory '"'$clone_dir'"'
        exit 3
    fi

    for repo in $onap_repos
    do
        repoDir=`dirname "$repo"`
        repoName=`basename "$repo"`

        if [ ! -z $dirName ]
        then
            mkdir "$clone_dir/$repoDir"
            if [ $? != 0 ]
            then
                echo cannot clone ONAP repositories, could not create directory '"'$clone_dir/repoDir'"'
                exit 4
            fi
        fi

        git clone https://gerrit.onap.org/r/${repo} $clone_dir/$repo
    done

    echo ONAP has been cloned into '"'$clone_dir'"'


Execution of the script above results in the following directory hierarchy in your *~/git* directory:

    *  ~/git/onap
    *  ~/git/onap/policy
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/parent
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/common
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/models
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/api
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/pap
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/docker
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/drools-applications
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/drools-pdp
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/engine
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/apex-pdp
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/xacml-pdp
    *  ~/git/onap/policy/distribution


Building ONAP Policy Framework Components
-----------------------------------------

**Step 1:** Optionally, for a completely clean build, remove the ONAP built modules from your local repository.

    .. code-block:: bash

        rm -fr ~/.m2/repository/org/onap


**Step 2:**  A pom such as the one below can be used to build the ONAP Policy Framework modules. Create the *pom.xml* file in the directory *~/git/onap/policy*.

.. code-block:: xml

   :linenos:

    <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

            <module>drools-pdp</module>
            <module>drools-applications</module>
            <!-- The engine repo is being deprecated,
            and can be ommitted if not working with
            legacy api and components. -->
            <module>engine</module>
            <module>distribution</module>
        </modules>
    </project>

Policy Architecture/API Transition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Dublin, a new Policy Architecture was introduced. The legacy architecture runs in parallel with the new architecture. It will be deprecated after Frankfurt release.

If the developer is only interested in working with the new architecture components, the engine sub-module can be ommitted.


**Step 3:** You can now build the Policy framework

    .. code-block:: bash

       cd ~/git/onap
       mvn clean install



Building the ONAP Policy Framework Docker Images
------------------------------------------------
The instructions here are based on the instructions in the file *~/git/onap/policy/docker/README.md*.

**Step 1:** Build the Policy API Docker image

    .. code-block:: bash

         cd ~/git/onap/policy/api/packages
         mvn clean install -P docker

**Step 2:** Build the Policy PAP Docker image

    .. code-block:: bash

         cd ~/git/onap/policy/pap/packages
         mvn clean install -P docker

**Step 3:** Build the Drools PDP docker image.

This image is a standalone vanilla Drools engine, which does not contain any pre-built drools rules or applications.

    .. code-block:: bash

        cd ~/git/onap/policy/drools-pdp/
        ./docker_verify.sh

**Step 4:** Build the Drools Application Control Loop image.

This image has the drools use case application and the supporting software built together with the Drools PDP engine. It is recommended to use this image if you are first working with ONAP Policy and wish to test or learn how the use cases work.

    .. code-block:: bash

        cd ~/git/onap/policy/drools-applications
        chmod 755 controlloop/build/docker-cl
        controlloop/build/docker-cl --verify

**Step 5:** Build the Apex PDP docker image:

   .. code-block:: bash

            cd ~/git/onap/policy/apex-pdp/packages/apex-pdp-docker/target
            docker build -t onap/policy-apex-pdp policy-apex-pdp

**Step 5:** Build the XACML PDP docker image:

   .. code-block:: bash

            cd ~/git/onap/policy/xacml-pdp/packages
            mvn clean install -P docker

**Step 7:** Build the policy engine docker image (If working with the legacy Policy Architecture/API):

    .. code-block:: bash

        cd ~/git/onap/policy/engine/
        ./docker_verify.sh

**Step 8:** Build the Policy SDC Distribution docker image:

   .. code-block:: bash

            cd ~/git/onap/policy/distribution/packages
            mvn clean install -Pdocker


Starting the ONAP Policy Framework Docker Images
------------------------------------------------

In order to run the containers, you can use *docker-compose*. This uses the *docker-compose.yml* yaml file to bring up the ONAP Policy Framework. This file is located in the policy/docker repository.

**Step 1:** Set the environment variable *MTU* to be a suitable MTU size for the application.

    .. code-block:: bash

        export MTU=9126


**Step 2:** Determine if you want policies pre-loaded or not. By default, all the configuration and operational policies will be pre-loaded by the docker compose script. If you do not wish for that to happen, then export this variable:

    .. code-block:: bash

        export PRELOAD_POLICIES=false


**Step 3:** Run the system using *docker-compose*. Note that on some systems you may have to run the *docker-compose* command as root or using *sudo*. Note that this command takes a number of minutes to execute on a laptop or desktop computer.

    .. code-block:: bash

        docker-compose up -d


**You now have a full standalone ONAP Policy framework up and running!**
