The SMO A1 (policy) flow is almost identical to what we have shown in the xApp (Traffic Steering) flow, with the difference that the policy operations (i.e. policy type creation, policy instance creation) are coming from the SMO instead of directly calling A1 mediator API.
In SMO cluster, the Near RT RIC's coordinates (IP, port, etc) is specified in the recipe for the NonRTRIC. To check whether SMO has successfully established communication with Near RT RIC, Run the following on the SMO cluster: $ curl http://$(hostname):30091/rics
To create a new policy instance under policy type 20008 (Traffic Steering's threshold policy), Run: $ POLICY_TYPE_ID="20008"
$ curl -v i-X PUT --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
"http://$(hostname):30091/policy?id=FROMOTF&ric=ric1&service=dummyService&id=${POLICY_TYPE_ID}" \
--data "{\"threshold\" : 1}" |
