Summary

The PNF PnP sub-flow allows simple mangement operations on PNFs, as long as service orchestration is concerned.
The following tasks are executed with the PNF PnP sub-workflow:

• AAI entry creation for a new PNF instance (identified based on correlationID)
• Hibernation of a workflow instance in case an AAI entry is incomplete (missing PNF`s OAM IP addresses)
• Re-Hydration upon reception of a pnfRegistration event from a PNF
  • In Beijing release, the VES event is used - domain "other"

Casablanca release

Within the Casablanca release, the SO PNF PnP sub-flow is modified.
The modification targets waiting for the pnfReady event in any case (irrespective of the PNF`s AAI entry contents).
