USE CASE OBJECTIVES

PNF Pre-Onboarding Use Case Objectives:

PNF package/archive shall be pre-onboarded (provided by Vendor)
PNF package is verified by xNF SDK tools
This Use Case shall be aligned as much as possible to the ONAP VNF package pre-onboarding UC
This Use Case will update the requirements for a xNF Package in the VNF Requirements project
PNF archive is provided by a vendor and it will include PNFD (based on ETSI SOL004) and all the artifacts required by ONAP (non ETSI NFV artifacts provided managed as Non-MANO artifact (i.e. FM and PM dictionary)
The Structure of the PNF package shall be defined (the artifacts to be supported, and a package directory structure)
(Optional) The xNF SDK may also be used to add Artifacts to the PNF Package.
Updates to the VNF SDK shall be made to accommodate PNF packages. (Possibly re-title the project to PNF SDK)

PNF Onboarding Use Case Objectives:

PNF archive can be on-boarded through ONAP
ONAP SDC shall also continue to support PNF definition by UI as in Casablanca Release
SDC needs to support an on-boarded PNF package and allow it to be used in service definitions.
SDC shall add the appropriate meta-data to the PNF package for storage into the SDC design Catalog.
ONAP RT Components must be able to successfully ingest utilized PNF on-boarded artifacts.
