There is an alternative where you would not use CDT self service GUI, when repopulating vnf and template artifact to APPC DB. There is a RESTful API call between CDT GUI and APPC's Proxy service. Here are the steps that could be used by curl POST request to populate vnf/template artifact to APPC DB.
- In ONAP OOM environment, access to CDT GUI: https://XYZ:30289/index.html#/home
- Turn on debugger mode: For Firefox, click the right top hamburger menu, click "Web Developer", then click "Debugger"
then debugger console shows on the browser bottom:
- click "network" on the debugger console in Firefox browser
- Follow CDT guide for VNF self service
- When clicking "SAVE ALL TO APPC" button, VNF Reference artifact would save to APPC DB. Look at the debugger console, a new POST request shows in debugger console. click "Params" on the right panel in the debugger console. The payload for the VNF Reference artifact is shown.
- copy & pastes the "request payload" and save to a json file:uploadArtifact-test.json (for example)
- write a shell script for curl command:
curl -k -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @./uploadArtifact-test.json https://XYZ:30211/cdtService/getDesigns
when you run the curl command in the command terminal. the output shows:
{"output":{"status":{"code":"400","message":"success"},"data":{"requestId":"816017286421"}}}check APPC DB:
