The Bulk PM feature consists of two main parts:
- Event-driven bulk transfer of monitoring data from an xNF to ONAP/DCAE. A micro-service will listen for 'FileReady' VES events sent from an xNF via the VES collector. Once files become available the collector micro-service will fetch them using protocol such as FTPES (committed) or SFTP. The collected data files are published internally on a DMaaP Data Router (DR) feed. (committed goal for Casablanca release)
- For 3GPP formatted measurement data and for consumers that prefer such data in VES format, an optional 3GPP PM Mapper micro-service is planned that can extract selected measurements from a 3GPP XML file and publish them as VES events on a DMaaP Message Router topic. The mapper receives the files by subscribing to a Data Router feed (stretch goal for Dublin release)
JIRA:
- INT-649Getting issue details... STATUS
Deployment:
Test environment requirements for above test cases:
- xNF simulator for test cases: FTPes capable server.
- with VES 7.0.1 support for 'fileReady' event.
- E.g. xNF able to produce data files and send VES fileReady events,
- E.g. xNF emulator able to produce 'fileReady' notification events including updated events, or a series or predefined VES events at periodic intervals.
- sample data files for collection. E.g. 3gpp PM file(s)
- DMaaP R3, at minimum need DR running and configured for Bulk PM support
- DCAE R3, MR with support for VES 7.0.1 spec
- DCAE R3, Data File Collector installed and configured
Use Case preconditions:
- xNF simulated script.

# | Test Case | Status |
---|---|---|
1 | Ensure that the 'FileReady' VES event is sent from the simulated xNF via the VES collector and is received by Data File Collector. | IN PROGRESS |
2 | Ensure that the Data File Collector starts to download the xml PM file(s) from the simulated xNF once it receives the 'FileReady' VES event via the VES collector. | IN PROGRESS |
3 | Ensure that the PM xml file(s) are published to the Data Router. | NOT YET TESTED |
4 | Ensure that the File Consumer simulator is able to subscribe and consume the PM file(s) from the Data Router. | IN PROGRESS |
