This page describes how to get the release A version of NonRTRIC up and running. Details of the architecture can be found in the link: Release A.

Procedure to establish the End to End call

...

Build Code

• Download the SDNC nonrtric repo: 

       git clone "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/nonrtric"

...

• Build

...

• Enter into the sdnc-a1-controller project, northbound and oam project will be listedthe code and create docker images. 

       near-rt-ric-simulator sdnc-a1-controller

• Build northbound project with command: 

    cd nonrtric
  mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

• Build oam project with command: 

    mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true -P docker

Run A1 Controller Docker Container

• Change directory to: 

  
  cd 

  Enter into the directory of

    nonrtric/sdnc-a1-controller/oam/installation/src/main/yaml

• Run docker container using the command below and wait until this message appears 'Healthcheck Passed in XX seconds.'
  and run the command: 

    MTU=1500 docker-compose up sdnc
  

Start Simulator:

• a1-controller

Run NONRTRIC Dashboard Docker Container

• Run docker container using this Build Simulator project with command: 

  
  docker run -p mvn clean install8080:8080 --network=nonrtric-docker-net nonrtric-dashboard:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Run NearRIC Simulator Docker Container

• Run docker container using this command: 
  Run the Simulator in a docker container with a nearric-sim as name and attach to a 'yaml_default' network, which SDCN is also attached.

    docker run -p 80808181:8080 --network=yaml_defaultnonrtric-docker-net --name=nearRtRic-sim1 nearric-simulator:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Make to call from Open Daylight GUI to Simulator :

• Use browser to http://localhost:8282/apidoc/explorer/index.html#!/NONRT-RIC-API(2019-09-26)
• if password asked, find the related password and username at :

    /nonrtric/sdnc-a1-controller/oam/installation/sdnc/src/main/scripts/startODL.sh

  check the username and password 

    ODL_ADMIN_USERNAME
    ODL_ADMIN_PASSWORD

• Make a call in the A1-ADAPTER-API:

check file: nonrtric/sdnc-a1-controller/northbound/nonrt-ric-api/provider/src/main/resources

NearRtRic1 = nearRtRic-sim1:8080
NearRtRic2 = nearRtRic-sim2:8080

update value:

"A1-ADAPTER-API:near-rt-ric-id": "NearRtRic1"

For example:

...

• Change directory to:  

  
  cd near-rt-ric-simulator/nearric-service/test

• Put some example policy_types and policy_instances inside the nearric-simulator by running the script:
  

  
  ./populate.sh localhost:8181
  

Open Dashboard UI

• Dashboard UI can be accessed by pointing the web-browser to this URL: 

  
  http://localhost:8080/
