Procedure to establish the End to End call

Preparation

• Download the SDNC repo: 

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

• The near RT RIC simulator and SDNC A1 Controller could be find in the repo 

Build SDNC project 

• Enter into the sdnc-a1-controller project, northbound and oam project will be listed. 

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

• Build northbound project with command: 

    mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

• Build oam project with command: 

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

• Enter into the directory of

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

• and run the command: 

    MTU=1500 docker-compose up sdnc
  
  

Start Simulator:

• Build Simulator project with command: 

    mvn clean install

• 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 8080:8080 --network=yaml_default --name=NearRtRic1 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:
