Procedure to establish the End to End call

Preparation

• Download the SDNC repo: 

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

• The SDNC A1 Controller could be found in this repo.
• Download the sim/a1-interface repo:

...

• The near RT RIC simulator could be found in this repo.

Build SDNC project 

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

...

• 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
  
  

Start Simulator:

• Go to the simulator project,  sim/a1-interface/near-rt-ric-simulator.
• 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, which SDCN 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 8080:80808085 --network=yaml_default -e A1_VERSION=<a1-interface-version> --name=nearRtRic-sim1 nearric-simulator:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Make a 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:

...

"A1-ADAPTER-API:near-rt-ric-id": "NearRtRic1"

For example:

Start NonRt RIC Controlpanel:
