Page Comparison

This page describes how to get the release A version of NonRTRIC up and running locally with two separate NearRT-RIC simulator docker containers.

All four components of the NonRTRIC repo run inside docker containers and communicate via a docker network. Details of the architecture can be found in the link: Release A.

Project Requirements

• Java 11 (make sure that JAVA_HOME environment variable points to correct Java version)
• Maven 3.6
• Docker and docker-compose (latest)

Build Code

Download the nonrtric repo: 

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

Configure policy-agent

To support local test with two separate NearRT-RIC simulator instances the following modifications must be done:  

• change the 'a1ControllerBaseUrl' in nonrtric/policy-agent/config/application.yaml file of policy-agent to http://a1-controller-container:8181 
  • The above hostname and port values come from and must match those defined in nonrtric/sdnc-a1-controller/oam/installation/src/main/yaml/docker-compose.yml
  • The default URL to be replaced (http://sdnc.onap:8282) is used in Kubernetes-based ONAP deployment

• The following step is required only if you want to run more than the default ric1 nearRT-RIC simulator instance
  • replace the content of nonrtric/policy-agent/config/application_configuration.yaml with the configuration below
  • any defined ric names must match the given docker container names in nearRT-RIC simulator startup - port is always the simulator's internal 8085

{
   "config": {
      "//description": "Application configuration",
      "ric": [
         {
            "name": "ric1",
            "baseUrl": "http://ric1:8085/",  
            "managedElementIds": [
               "kista_1",
               "kista_2"
            ]
         },
         {
            "name": "ric2",
            "baseUrl": "http://ric2:8085/",
            "managedElementIds": [
               "kista_3",
               "kista_4"
            ]
         }
      ]
   }
}

Configure dashboard

 Note also that nonrtric/dashboard/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)!
