Current Service Information Model UML Documentation: ONAP Service 2017-11-08.docx

the comparision table among ECOMP IM, SDC IM, ETSI NFV IFA, A&AI as below:

ServiceDesc (ServiceCatalogItem)  (Note from Chesla:  

  •  A&AI has a model/model-ver concept which captures the descriptor from ASDC. The model vertex type contains the model-invariant-id and the model-type (e.g., service or resource).  The model-ver vertex type contains the model-version-id, the model-version, the model-name, and a model-description.

  • In short, A&AI split the invariant part of the model away from the version-dependent pieces.  In this manner, you can relate ALL versions of a model to something  by using the model-invariant-id (e.g., get me all the resources for this model) or you can relate a specific version of a model (e.g., get me all resources for this version of the model) by using the model-version-id in combination with the model-invariant-id.  Recall that A&AI stores the model/model-ver elements as "JOIN" keys to the SDC descriptor world.  A&AI does not try to capture all the details of the models.

  • It's not clear whether you can equate model-name to service-name or model-description to service-description.  The model-name really names the MODEL, not necessarily the service.  The same applies to the service-description.

  • ALSO NOTE as referenced on a prior wiki page:  The A&AI service vertex type is deprecated and should not be used in ONAP.)

ServiceCatalogItem-Q1: what‘s the difference of type and serviceType or category?’
Category - A predefined list which identifies the construct's category. There is a predefined list of service categories and resource categories.

Type - A predefined list which identifies the construct (i.e., service, VF, VFC, CP, VL, etc.).

serviceType - An optional string field defining a generic type (like category) of the service. E.g. this field can be used for defining the service as “TRANSPORT”.

@David Shadmi From Chesla Wechsler's comments, type is deprecated. Please confirm it.

...

ServiceCatalogItem-Q2: What's the ServiceRole used for in the use cases and how does it effect the run-time components?

serviceRole - An optional string field for shortcode that defines the function that the service is providing. E.g. “MISVPN” or “AIM”.

...

maopeng zhang: needs to describe the function attribute

function (From Andy Mayer)

...

nested model (either service or resource type)

...

maopeng zhang: In AAI, suggest to add serviceComponets

...

ServiceCatalogItem-Q3: What's the naming used for in the use cases and how does it effect the run-time components?

The naming fields are used to define if the service instance name is auto-generated by the runtime components (SO and SDNC).

Need to refer to the use case owners to understand if and how these fields are used.

...

@ James Forsyth: ServiceCatalogItem-Q4: The version of resource are related to the resource. One service may is composed of many resources, which may have different versions. Which version of the resources are set in the service?

...

@Andy Mayer : ServiceCatalogItem-Q5: Is it the service designer? If consider multi-designers, the attributes should be array type.

...

This is the technology owner. ATT UID. Future click on UID and launch mail client. Multiple contacts should be supported.

...

@Andy Mayer : ServiceCatalogItem-Q6:

Please clarify what it is. How is it effects the design time and run-time?

From Chesla Wechsler's comments, it is deprecated. Please confirm it.

...

Obtain from vendor if available; tester can add additional information

...

@Andy Mayer : ServiceCatalogItem-Q7:

The constraints is not an independent attribute, and is a constraint within the attribute definition. right?

...

From the TOSCA model. Multiple fields. Could include thresholds and policies. Vendor upgrade requirements should also be included here.

...

@ Andy Mayer : ServiceCatalogItem-Q8: Please clarify what it is. How is it effects the design time and run-time?

...

2015: will be blank and not mandatory. 2016 may be accessed by role (TBD) and will be a mandatory field.

...

@Andy Mayer ServiceCatalogItem-Q9: What's the Cost used for in the use cases and how does it effect the run-time components?

...

Spreadsheet with input constraints, entries will be searchable

...

Composite ID of contract and entitlement number from myprocurement

...

From contract/entitlement

...

@Andy Mayer ServiceCatalogItem-Q11: It is an document from vendor. Should it be managed in the ONAP?

...

Obtain from vendor

@Andy Mayer ServiceCatalogItem-Q11: It is an document from vendor. Should it be managed in the ONAP?

...

Obtain from vendor

...

Keeping all major events, i.e., creation date, any modification, check in and check out with ATT UID.

...

Multiple fields. Categories of licenses planned; type, unit.

...

@Andy Mayer ServiceCatalogItem-Q11: It is an document from vendor. Should it be managed in the ONAP?

...

...

@Andy Mayer ServiceCatalogItem-Q11: It is an document from vendor. Should it be managed in the ONAP?

...

Multiple fields. Includes connectivity

...

@Andy Mayer It is not like an service attribute. Please clarify why displayed in the design studio.

...

This field will be used in URLs and not exposed in create service UI; will be displayed in design studio.

Meaningful service name used in API. The system name is used in the distribution studio (distribution notification and distribution API).

- Max length of 25 characters

- Allowed characters: alphanumeric, underscore, dash, dot.

- Autocreated based upon the Service Display Name: spaces are trimmed, each word starts with a capital letter, on the first letter of abbreviation and acronyms are capitalized.

- If the Service Display name changes, the Service System name will automatically be updated.

- Service System name is not editable by the designer.

- Name must be unique and is searchable.

...

Flat list in 1507. In 1510, UI will be separated to different field from Category.

...

Must accept multiple keywords

...

Need to define a list of templates. Tied to Category. Designer cannot create new template (must be created by development team). Process required to add/change/delete. Could consider designer ability to create / modify template in 1602.

...

Part of the lifecycle management of the artifact.

...

Artifact name stored in Swift. Artifacts are searchable / indexable.

...

Scripts are an artifact, this may be redundant

...

URL to file stored in Glance or Swift, depending upon image vs. binary

ServiceCatalogItem vs ServiceComponentCatalogItem

In the current Ecomp IM the Service model includes Service and ServiceComponent models either at run and design time.

According to the tables above, both SDC and A&AI do not differ Service and ServiceComponent.

Do we need to split a Service as an aggregation of ServiceComponent in the IM?  Considering that a Service may be also a composition of Services as well.
