- VNFD/PNFD MODEL LOADED - The xNF Resource's Descriptor model is visible in SDC.
- SDC INTERNAL PACKAGE EXISTS - The SDC Internal Package derived from the vendor provided xNF package has been successfully stored in SDC's catalog and is visible. All of the xNF artifacts, including the VES registration and PM dictionary/schema (for example) are visible and loaded properly.
- ADDITIONAL ARTIFACTS - Additional manual artifacts can be incorporated into the Internal SDC xNF package.
- SECURITY VALIDATION & TESTING - The onboarded package is tested and validated for security.
