The bulk PM feature consists of two main parts:

  • Event-driven bulk transfer of monitoring data from an xNF to ONAP/DCAE. A micro-service will listen for 'FileReady' VES events sent from an xNF via the VES collector. Once files become available the collector micro-service will fetch them using protocol such as FTPES (committed) or HTTPS. The collected data files are published internally on a DMaaP Data Router (DR) feed.
  • For 3GPP formatted measurement data and for consumers that prefer such data in VES format, an optional 3GPP PM Mapper micro-service is planned that can extract selected measurements from a 3GPP XML file and publish them as VES events on a DMaaP Message Router topic. The mapper receives the files by subscribing to a Data Router feed.

Test Cases and Status:  DCAE Data File Collector

#Test CaseStatus
1

xNF:  Ensure fileReady event is received from xNF at DCAE VES collector.

Expected output: fileReady event received

Status
titleNot yet tested

2DCAE VES Collector:  Ensure fileReady event is processed and forwarded to correct topic on DCAE Message Router.

Status
titleNot yet tested

3
DCAE File Collector:  Ensure fileReady event is received from DCAE Message Router.

Status
titleNot yet tested

DCAE File Collector:  Ensure event is processed and any invalid file entries (i.e. missing or corrupt data) are logged.

Expected output: fileReady event meets VES 6.x specification

Status
titleNot yet tested

DCAE File Collector:  After succesful event parsing, confirm secure connection to file location is initiated for file retrieval. E.g. connection to xNF file location contained in the event.

Status
titleNot yet tested

6DCAE File Collector: Confirm that if a successful connection can not be made to the location, an error log is raised. E.g. authentication failed, destination unreachable, etc.

Status
titleNot yet tested

7DCAE File Collector:  Ensure that for each new entry in the fileReady event the file is retrieved.

Status
titleNot yet tested

8DCAE File Collector: Ensure any files which are not available are logged. E.g. file no longer on the xNF, logged as non-existant file.

Status
titleNot yet tested

9DCAE File Collector: Confirm that in the event a file fails to transfer successfully, retry is initiated.

Status
titleNot yet tested

10DCAE File Collector: Confirm that in the event the maximum number of retries is exceeded, an error is logged. E.g. file not able to be retrieved.

Status
titleNot yet tested

11DCAE File Collector: Ensure the connection to xNF is closed.

Status
titleNot yet tested

12DCAE File Collector:  Ensure the data file(s) retrieved for that processed fileReady event are published to correct feed on DMaaP Data Router.

Status
titleNot yet tested








Test environment requirements for above test cases:

  • xNF (or emulator) with VES 6.x support for 'fileReady' event.
    • E.g. xNF able to produce data files and send VES fileReady events,
    • E.g. xNF emulator able to produce 'fileReady' notification events including updated events, or a series or predefined VES events at periodic intervals.
  • xNF (or separate) ftpes capable server.
  • sample data files for collection. E.g. 3gpp PM files
  • Test environment reqs:
    • DMaaP R3, at minimum need DR running and configured for Bulk PM support
    • DCAE R3, MR with support for VES 6.x spec
    • DCAE R3, Data File Collector installed and configured
    • xNF instantiated at ONAP, e.g. in A&AI

End-to-End feature integration:

  • Test cases (tbd) to test end-to-end feature interaction for PnP, Bulk PM (File collector + Mapper), closed loop (e.g. TCA triggered on specific PM counter in the bulk data) and action performed.
