    Information Coordinator Service (ICS) (Release

    ...

    I)

    A service that coordinates Information Jobs, producers and consumers. Also acts as an A1 Enrichment Information Controller.

    ICS is a data subscription service which decouples data producers from data consumers. A data consumer can create a data subscription (Information Job) without any knowledge of its data producers (one subscription may involve several data producers). A data producer has the ability to produce one or several types of data (Information Type). One type of data can be produced by zero to many producers.

    Image RemovedImage Added


    A data consumer can be an R-App using R1 APIs, or a near-RT RIC using the A1-EI API (where the subscribed data is more specifically called "Enrichment Information").
    A data consumer can have several active data subscriptions (Information Job). One Information Job consists of the type of data to produce and additional parameters, which may be different for different data types. These parameters is not defined or limited by this service and may for instance include:

    ...

    DMaaP/Kafka Information Producer Adapters (Release

    ...

    I)

    Configurable mediators to take information from DMaaP (& Kafka) and present it as a coordinated Information Producer

    Two alternative implementations to allow Information Consumers to consume DMaaP or Kafka events as coordinated Information Jobs.
    These configurable adapters/mediators act producers of Information Coordinator Service (ICS) jobs by polling topics in DMaaP Message Router (MR) or Kafka and pushing the messages to a consumer.

    Note: DMaaP is now deprecated in ONAP, but this function is intended a generic data job/stream → DME producer adapter function.

    A version implemented in Java (Spring) - Supporting filtered DMaaP and Kafka mediation:

    A version implemented in Go - Supporting DMaaP mediation:

    CAPIF Service Registry (Release
