• Design time catalog and the Run-Time catalog are independent management.
  Design time can operate the packages or files, and info the Run-Time components. In the Run-Time catalog also should support to manage the catalog in a unified way.
• Lack of unified catalog management in the Run-Time.
  • In Run-Time,  there exits template and recipes, workflows of different levels such as service/NS/resources in different components(SO, VFC,  SDNC,  APPC, Policy, …).  
  • AAI supports SDC TOPO Schema,  SO supports synchronization data with SDC,  other component almost same with SO. Almost all do not support the independent Run-Time catalog management.
• Further more, the Run-Time catalog will also consider the unified models API based on the design template  to all Run-Time components, reducing the complex and repeatable parser work.

Project Name:

• Proposed name for the project: ONAP Runtime Catalog
• Proposed name for the repository:  RT-Catalog rtc

Project description:

     The ONAP RT-Catalog project aims to provide unified catalog management in ONAP runtime environment, including service, service component, and resource levels.

Scope:

•Levels:

•Service level: 

               Service catalog (templates, workflow, recipes, ……)
•Service Component level: 

                 NS  catalog (templates, workflow, recipes, ……), WAN catalog (templates, workflow,….)
•Resource level: 

                         VNF catalog(VNF image, templates, scripts, recipes,……), PNF catalog(….)
•Functions:

•Provide all level catalog management, including design time catalog synchronization, on-boarding, enable, disable, update, delete catalog item in the runtime, etc.
•Provide the catalog status management in the run-time, such as IN_USE, NOT_IN_USE, ENABLED, DISABLED, etc
•Provide the  API to fetch the packages or files in the catalog, including the external system, and inner components
•Provide the API to consume the descriptor parser result, reducing the package download time consuming between the different components.

  • Benefits

• • • Separation of concerns – Model Design  vs. Runtime Using
    • Simplification of Design time to Runtime model distribution
    • Flexibility by allowing runtime component’s self-define model view & data subscription
    • Consolidation of Runtime Data storage and management

Scope:

• • Management Objects:

          All Certified Design Model

          Consistent definitions with SDC Design Catalog

• 
  

• • •  Functions:

      
      

      • Provide RT-catalog GUI, storage and management functions, including CRUD, distribution, synchronization, enable, disable, etc

      • Provide RT-catalog view distribution for RT component, including RT component self-composed views, subscriptions, and data access
      • Provide RT-catalog data status & Tracking
      • Provide search capacity for fast access across run-time catalog data
      • Provide portal for the Human Interface
      • Provide S3P related capacity for RT-Catalog
