The Controller Blueprint Archived is the overall service design, fully model-driven, package needed to automate the resolution of resources for instantiation and any config provisioning operation, such as day0, day1 or day2 configuration.
The CBA is .zip file, comprised of the following folder structure, the files may vary:

A data dictionary can support multiple resourcessources.
The main goal of data dictionary is to define generic entity that could be shared accross the service catalogservices.

A workflow defines an overall action to be taken for the service; it can be composed of a set of node sub-actions to execute. Currently, workflows are backed by Directed Graph engine.
...
This action is triggered by Generic-Resource-API (GR-API) within SDNC as part of the AssignBB orchestrated by SO. Hence it will be triggered for each VNF(s) and VF-Module(s).
In order to know what to resolvedfor which entity the action is triggered, one input is required, that is the artifact prefix (see bellow for explanation).
...
${vnf-name} and ${vf-module-label} is what we call the artifact prefix, so the requirement could be seen as follow:

template
The template has to be a resource accumulator template; that be composed of the following sections:
