Refer ACTN Simulator User Guide to setup ACTN-simulator or follow the below steps to launch and initialize domain controllers,

Step 1. Fetch the simulator docker image

First, pull down the simulator image from public docker hub.

Step 2. Start the simulator container(s)

After compiling the pnc-simulator image locally or fetching the docker image from remote registry, execute the command below to start the container:

For demonstration purposes, two domain controllers are required, in our case we use 18181 as SERVER_PORT for domain1 and 18182 for domain2.

After starting the container, you should be able to verify the running container by:

Step 3. Initialize the simulator(s)

The simulator offers a set of administrative APIs which are designed for initialization and management purposes.

To initialize the simulator for each domain:

For demonstration purposes, two domain controllers are required, both need to be properly launched and initialized. The initialization payloads are attached below.

ESR Registration using AAI ESR Url:

Once a third-party controller is being registered in ONAP, a "Topology Discovery" operation need be triggered and the domain controller will be called in order to retrieve the topology. SDNC then, will store the topology in AAI. Please execute the below curl command for this the ESR registration of initialized two domain controllers,

NOTE: Replace <simulator-ip> and <simulator-port> with the IP Address and port of initialized simulators.

curl -k -X PUT "https://AAI:AAI@<worker-vmIp>:30233/aai/v23/external-system/esr-thirdparty-sdnc-list/esr-thirdparty-sdnc/ff9ef162-951d-4e14-9ce6-b4fa0adf896b" \
