1. We need to Update AAI to indicate what account or accounts are permitted to use the vIMS service and in which cloud locations.
2. We need to declare the service instance via VID
3. We need to declare the VNF profile in SDNC and to set the preload data for the vIMS VNFs in SDNC
4. We eventually finish VNF instantiation using VID
        Note: We probably should separate out the SDNC Preload steps into a separate wiki page since its not the next step after updating AAI.

Updating AAI for account, service and location data

For the AAI updates for vFW and vLB we use "demo.sh init" to populate AAI with the data for the "Demonstration" customer but that only support vFW and vLB. For this tutorial we will use POSTMAN to update AAI via the equivalent PUT transaction that the robot testsuite uses but for a "Demonstration3" customer.

...

The Basic authorization credentials are AAI/AAI

Create the vIMS Service in AAI

This will put vIMS in the drop down for new VNFs in VID.

Step 1: Query for the services

https://<AAI_IP>:8443/aai/v8/service-design-and-creation/services

...

{
    "service": [
        {
            "service-id": "4dd0f831-785f-455e-a0d9-b16726dd1a70",
            "service-description": "vLB",
            "resource-version": "1493657491"
        },
        {
            "service-id": "891ab7fa-715f-4556-abd7-db575894e3e2",
            "service-description": "vFW",
            "resource-version": "1493657491"
        },
        {
            "service-id": "c30d0f54-61e8-4475-b029-43fc3f7bebef",
            "service-description": "vVG",
            "resource-version": "1493844352"
        }
    ]
}

Step 2: Generate a UUID

https://www.uuidgenerator.net/

pick the Version 4 UUID like: e8cb8968-5411-478b-906a-f28747de72cd

Step 3: PUT the vIMS Service (see headers in screen shot above)

https://<AAI_IP>:8443/aai/v8/service-design-and-creation/services/service/e8cb8968-5411-478b-906a-f28747de72cd

...

replace "e8cb8968-5411-478b-906a-f28747de72cd" with the UUID you generated

choose "raw"

Step 4: Confirm with a  GET to the services url.

This complete updating AAI for the service. Now we move to updating AAI for the Infrastructure Customer Account data.

Create the Account

This will put vFW, vLB and vIMS service types as valid services for the Demonstration3 customer in the RACKSPACE location "IAD"

...

This completes the AAI update.

Create VNF in VID

SDNC Updates

This step will be used after creating the VNF in the VID portal so that you have the data created during the service instance and VNF creation and just before the VF creation.

Need to have 5 parameters to set SDNC Preload (vnf-name and vnf-type are the critical ones)

1. generic-vnf-type":"vIMSSWProduct_test 1",

2. "service-type":"c8cba5cc-b4cd-4903-9f9a-80b50255d18b",  (UPDATE_THIS_FOR_YOUR_INSTANCE)

3. "vnf-name":"vIMSVNFTEST1",

4. "vnf-type":"VimsswproductTest..base_clearwater..module-0" 

5. "generic-vnf-name":"vIMSVNFTEST1",
