Perform Policy Operations via Dashboard

...

• Open Dashboard UI at 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/NearRtRicList.properties

NearRtRic1 = nearRtRic-sim1:8080
NearRtRic2 = nearRtRic-sim2:8080

update value:

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

For example:

• You may repeat the creation process a few times for different rics - below we see one policy created to ric1 and two to ric2

• Modifications are submitted in the same way as in creation, and the resulting simulator log should also be same as the one we saw in creation
