This page describes how to demonstrate the entire flow from Non-Rt RIC Controlpanel -> A1 controller in SDNC -> Near Realtime Ric Simulator

Overview of the End to End call

Details of the architecture can be found from the following link: Release A

Procedure to establish the End to End call

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

All the required components (NearRT-RIC simulator, SDNC A1 Controller, Policy Agent and Dashboard) are under this repo.

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 a1-controller

Go to the simulator project directory a1-interface/near-rt-ric-simulator/scripts
Create a docker image called nearric-simulator:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT:
```
  docker build -t nearric-simulator:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT . 
```

Run the Simulator in a docker container with a nearric-sim as name and attach to a 'yaml_default' network, to which SDNC is also attached.
Set the env '-e A1_VERSION=<a1-interface-version>' in the command below and replace '<a1-interface-version> with the desired A1 interface version. The simulator currently supports A1 yaml interface versions: 'OSC_2.1.0' and 'STD_1.1.3'
```
  docker run -p 8080:8085 --network=yaml_default -e A1_VERSION=<a1-interface-version> --name=nearRtRic-sim1 nearric-simulator:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
```
