Page History

This page describes how to get the release C version of Non-RT RIC up and running locally with two separate Near-RT RIC simulator docker containers providing OSC_2.1.0 version of A1 interface.

All components of the Non-RT RIC (from three different repos) run inside docker containers and communicate via a docker network. Details of the architecture can be found from Release C page.

Build Code

Build nonrtric containers

Download the nonrtric repo:

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

...

     git checkout --track origin/cherry

Configure policy-agent

To support local test with two separate Near-RT RIC simulator instances:

create a new nonrtric/policy-agent/config/application_configuration.json with the configuration below
The controller hostname and port values come from and must match those defined in nonrtric/docker-compose/sdnc/docker-compose.yml
any defined ric names must match the given docker container names in near-RT RIC simulator startup - port is always the simulator's internal 8085

update policy-agent/Dockerfile:

ADD /config/application_configuration.json /opt/app/policy-agent/data/application_configuration.json_example

to

ADD /config/application_configuration.json /opt/app/policy-agent/data/application_configuration.json

Build the code and create docker images

To build docker images of sdnc-a1-controller, policy-agent, enrichment coordinator service and r-app-catalogue:

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

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

If the build was successful images with following name and tag shall be built, use the command 'docker images' to view newly built images in the local docker registry.

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

$ docker images
o-ran-sc/nonrtric-r-app-catalogue                   1.0.1-SNAPSHOT 
o-ran-sc/nonrtric-enrichment-coordinator-service    1.0.1-SNAPSHOT 
o-ran-sc/nonrtric-policy-agent                      2.1.1-SNAPSHOT

Build near-rt-ric-simulator container

Download the near-rt-ric-simulator repo (defaults to master branch):

     git clone "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/sim/a1-interface"

Create docker image

To create docker image near-rt-ric-simulator (note that the given image name must match the name given in docker startup later):

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

cd a1-interface/near-rt-ric-simulator
docker build -t near-rt-ric-simulator:latest .

You can check that the image is in docker using:

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

$ docker images
o-ran-sc/nonrtric-r-app-catalogue                  1.0.1-SNAPSHOT   
o-ran-sc/nonrtric-enrichment-coordinator-service   1.0.1-SNAPSHOT   
o-ran-sc/nonrtric-policy-agent                     2.1.1-SNAPSHOT  
near-rt-ric-simulator                              latest

Build NONRTRIC / A1 Policy control panel container

Download the nonrtric repo (defaults to master branch):

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

Verify controlpanel configuration

Note that nonrtric-controlpanel/webapp-backend/src/main/resources/application.properties default property value policycontroller.url.prefix = http://policy-agent-container:8081 assumes that policy agent is started with name policy-agent-container and exposes port 8081 (as is done below)!

Build the code and create docker image

Code Block

language	bash
theme	Emacs

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

Run A1 Controller Docker Container

A1 Controller must be started first to set up docker network
Change directory:
```
cd nonrtric/docker-compose/sdnc
```
Run docker container using the command below
```
docker-compose up a1-controller
```
- the container is ready once message "Healthcheck Passed in XX seconds." appears
- note that certificate-related errors "cp: can't stat '/opt/opendaylight/current/certs/*': No such file or directory" and "Error: File not found in path entered" can be ignored

The Karaf logs of A1 controller can be followed e.g. by using command

docker exec a1-controller sh -c "tail -f /opt/opendaylight/data/log/karaf.log"

Open Daylight GUI

Run Near-RT RIC A1 Simulator Docker Containers

Start docker containers for each ric defined in nonrtric/policy-agent/config/application_configuration.json in previous steps (in this example for ric1 and ric2) and providing A1 interface version OSC_2.1.0 with the following commands::

docker run -p 8085:8085 -p 8185:8185 -e A1_VERSION=OSC_2.1.0 -e ALLOW_HTTP=true --network=nonrtric-docker-net --name=ric1 near-rt-ric-simulator:latest
docker run -p 8086:8085 -p 8186:8185 -e A1_VERSION=OSC_2.1.0 -e ALLOW_HTTP=true --network=nonrtric-docker-net --name=ric2 near-rt-ric-simulator:latest

Change directory:

cd a1-interface/near-rt-ric-simulator/test/OSC_2.1.0/jsonfiles

Put an example policy_type into the started near-rt-ric-simulator instances by running these curl commands (in this example to ric1 exposed to port 8085 and ric2 exposed to port 8086):

curl -X PUT -v "http://localhost:8085/a1-p/policytypes/123" -H "accept: application/json" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary @pt1.json
curl -X PUT -v "http://localhost:8086/a1-p/policytypes/123" -H "accept: application/json" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary @pt1.json

Run Policy-agent Docker Container

Run docker container using this command once A1 Controller and simulators have been fully started:

docker run -p 8081:8081 -p 8433:8433 --network=nonrtric-docker-net --name=policy-agent-container o-ran-sc/nonrtric-policy-agent:2.

...

```
1.
```

...

```
1-SNAPSHOT
```
Once policy-agent is up and running, it establishes connections to all configured Near-RT RICs
If policy-agent-container is configured to log at DEBUG level, the following logs should appear to log to show that connection to the configured RICs has been established successfully via A1 Controller.

policy-agent Swagger API

For troubleshooting/verification purposes you can view/access the policy-agent swagger API from url: http://localhost:8081/swagger-ui.html

Run Enrichment Service Docker Container

Run docker container using this command once A1 Controller and simulators have been fully started:

docker run -p 8083:8083 -p 8434:8434 --network=nonrtric-docker-net --name=enrichment-service-container o-ran-sc/nonrtric-enrichment-coordinator-service:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT

By running these curl commands objects can be added:

Add new EI type:
