Assumptions

Issues & Decisions

Overview

// End to end solution in plaintext can be put in here.

1. NCMP will receive the Subscription Request from EDM in the form of an Event.
2. NCMP will be responsible for the below operations. ( Consumer Code for EDM Event )
   1. Since NCMP already knows the structure of the incoming subscription request it will map the incoming request to java object.
   2. Persist the request in the subscription-registry model which we already introduced.
3. NCMP ( Producer Code and Record the published time ) 
   1. Enrich the request with the additional properties and a proper dmiRequestId ( subscriptionId+subscriptionName+dmiServiceName)
   2. Save the dmiRequestId in the distributed map along with the current-time. ( we can call it published time ) . This will be useful at a later point in time.
   3. Now forward the subscription request to the dmi-plugins based on the incoming target cmHandles we have. ( Since we have the information that which dmi-plugin is responsible for which cmHandle , we can figure this out ).
      1. At this level we could have forwarded the event to multiple dedicated topics.
4. DMI-Plugin
   1. It will have a consumer code to listen from a particular topic.
   2. It will translate the event so that it is able to extract the important information from the event.
   3. DMI-Plugin is responsible to talk to the underlying Nodes it is managing inorder to register the subscription ( i.e provide the predicate information )  NOTE : We will skip this part in the onap-dmi-plugin implementation.
   4. DMI-Plugin will respond back with the response as accepted / rejected. We will have a response format which will be discussed in the dedicated place.
5. NCMP ( Consumer for DMI-Plugin Response )
