SDNC APIs

• Incoming APIs:
  • RESTCONF APIs:
    • Healthcheck : used to verify health of SDNC.  
      • Swagger JSON : SLI-API(2016-11-10).json (Readthedocs : SLI-API)
    • Generic VNF API : API used to request resources for VNFs (vDNS,  vFW  and vCPE use cases)
      •  Swagger JSON : VNF-API(2015-07-20).json (Readthedocs : VNF-API)
    • GENERIC-RESOURCE-API : used to assign resources and create networks for VoLTE and vCPE use cases.  
      • Swagger JSON : GENERIC-RESOURCE-API(2017-08-24).json (Readthedocs : GENERIC-RESOURCE-API)
      • Application Interface Document (Updated for Beijing): Generic_Resource_ONAP_AID.docx
      • Blueprint for Capability Contribution and integration to Generic Resource API   Blueprint for Capability Contribution and integration to Generic Resource API.docx
        
        
  • SDC client : used to listen for distributions from SDC.  This is used to receive and consume TOSCA models

• • DMAAP listener : used to listen for event notifications from DMaaP. 
    •   For Amsterdam release, the vCPE use case posts a notification to DMAAP that alerts SDNC when a BRG receives an IP from DHCP.  The DMaap listener then will invoke the GENERIC-RESOURCE-API to set up a WAN connection for that BRG.
    • For Beijing release, SDN-C will also subscribe to an additional topic on DMaaP to receive LCM events, which will in turn invoke the LCM API.

• • New for Beijing release:
    • LCM (Lifecycle Management) API - used in Change Management and Manual Scale Out functional requirements to allow SDNC to process lifecycle events for L1-L3 VNFs.
    • The same rest api northbound is used in both SDNC (L1-L3) and APPC (L4-L7) - auto-generated from LCM-API.yang but the "action" parameters that can be sent via that API - some dont work on SDNC like start/stop/restart/evacuate - others like ModifyConfig will work on SDNC
    • See APP-C LCM API guide for additional information
      

• Outgoing API:
  • A&AI : SDNC will read/write objects to A&AI.  The base aaa-service class is capable of reading/writing any object defined in A&AI XSD schema.  The directed graphs for the use cases will drive which specific objects are read/written.
  • External SDNC controllers : SDNC will interface to external SDNC controllers to create underlay/overlay networks (for VoLTE).  These external controllers expose a RESTCONF interface, which SDNC will invoke using its restapi-call-node interface.
