Use Case Overview & Description
The Configuration Persistence Service is a Common Data Layer Service providing database functionality to persist network element run-time information. CPS will perform key DB operations such as syncing data with xNFs. CPS enables OSS configuration, optimization and E2E LCM operations. It will be a new Platform Component in R8.
State Management DB (Bell) project is aimed at tracking states of network elements in a network.

BUSINESS DRIVER
This section describes Business Drivers needs. These business drivers are presented on the Requirements Sub-committee and should also be put into the release requirements sub-committee page.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY - The Data Persistency Service is a new platform component that is designed to serve as a data repository for Run-time data that needs to be persistent. As a stand-alone ONAP component, this project provides data layer services to other ONAP platform components and use cases that require persistent configuration or operational data. The R6 development will be enhanced as well.
BUSINESS IMPACT - The ability for service operators to visualize and manage data in a RAN network (PNFs, VNFs, and logical constructs) with ONAP is a critical business function because they are key Life Cycle Management (LCM) and OA&M operations. The project has business impacts to enhance the operation of data-handling within ONAP by providing efficient data layer services.
BUSINESS MARKETS - This project applies to any domain (wireless, transport, optical, and wireline) that ONAP may manage. It is not a market or geographical specific capability. It is expected that scaled ONAP installations such as Edge & Core ONAP deployments will also deploy the database across each installation.
FUNDING/FINANCIAL IMPACTS - This project represents a large potential Operating Expense (OPEX) savings for operators because of the ability to configure networks saving time and expenses.
ORGANIZATION MGMT, SALES STRATEGIES - There is no additional organizational management or sales strategies for this use case outside of a service providers "normal" ONAP deployment and its attendant organizational resources from a service provider.

USE CASE DIAGRAM
Use cases define how different users interact with a system under design. Each use case represents an action that may be performed by a user (defined in UML as an Actor with a user persona).

Description | Configuration Persistence Service is a platform component that is designed to serve as a data repository for Run time data that needs to be persistent. It is characterized by the following. DATA REPOSITORY - The types of data that is stored in the Run-Time data storage repository for:
DATA LAKE - Architecturally, the Configuration Persistence Service is designed to be a common services data layer which can serve as a data lake to other run time entities (ONAP components or external tools). CPS FUNCTIONS - The Configuration Persistence Service enables functionality to be performed by other entities. It will ENABLE the capability of another components or external tools within/or external to ONAP to perform the functions.
