31 This guide describes the APPC API that allows you to manage and control the life cycle of controlled virtual network functions (VNFs).
36 This document is intended for an advanced technical audience, such as the engineers or architects who need to use this guide to develop an interfacing application. The guide assumes a knowledge of the Open Network Automation Platform (ONAP) components and features, and familiarity with JSON notation.
39 Life Cycle Management Commands
40 ==============================
42 APPC receives commands from external ECOMP components, such as SO, Policy, DCAE, or the Portal, to manage the life cycle of virtual applications and their components.
44 A virtual application is composed of the following layers of network technology:
46 - Virtual Network Function (VNF)
47 - Virtual Network Function Component (VNFC)
48 - Virtual Machine (VM)
50 A Life Cycle Management (LCM) command may affect one or more of these layers.
52 An LCM command is sent as a request to the APPC using an HTTP POST request or in a message on a message bus (DMaaP or UEB). A request may result in either a single synchronous response or multiple asynchronous responses:
54 - An **asynchronous** command, which is sent as an authorized and valid request, results in at least two discrete response events:
55 - an accept response, to indicate that the request is accepted for processing
56 - a final response to indicate the status and outcome of the request processing
57 - An unauthorized or invalid request results in a single ERROR response.
59 - A **synchronous** command, such as Lock or Unlock, results in a single response that is either SUCCESS or ERROR.
61 **NOTE:** For both asynchronous or synchronous commands, the first response is always returned using the same transport that the initial action used. For example, if the action request was via the message bus (such as when it originates from Policy), then the response is also via the message bus. However, if the request was via a direct HTTP call, the response is similarly a synchronous HTTP response.
64 Message Bus and the LCM API Client Library
65 ------------------------------------------
67 The recommended approach for sending/receiving requests to APPC is via the message bus. To support this approach, an APPC client library is available and should be used. The client library aims to provide consumers of APPC capabilities with a strongly-typed Java interface and to encapsulate the actual interaction with APPC component via the message bus.
69 For more details, see the APPC Client Library Guide at:
71 :ref:`appc_client_library`
74 The client library supports both synchronous and asynchronous flows as follows.
79 - The APPC Client Library is called via an asynchronous API using a full command object, which is mapped to a JSON representation.
80 - The APPC client calls the UEB/DMaaP client and sends the JSON command to a configured topic.
81 - The APPC client pulls response messages from the configured topic.
82 - On receiving the response for the command, APPC client runs the relevant callback method of the consumer ResponseHandler.
87 - The APPC Client Library is called via a synchronous API using a full command object, which is mapped to a JSON representation.
88 - The APPC client calls the UEB/DMaaP client and sends the JSON command to a configured topic.
89 - The APPC client pulls response messages from the configured topic.
90 - On receiving the final response for the command, the APPC client returns the response object with a final status.
92 The client library adds the following wrapper around request and responses to the LCM API (described below)::
96 "cambria.partition" : "<TOPIC>",
97 "correlation-id" :"<CORRELATION_ID>",
98 "rpc-name" : "<RPC_NME>",
99 "type" : <MESSAGE_TYPE>
100 "body" : <RPC_SPECIFIC_BODY>
105 Table 1 Request / Response Message Fields
107 +----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+

129 Generic Request Format
130 ----------------------
132 The LCM API general request format is applicable for both POST HTTP API and for the message body received via the EUB/DMaaP bus.
137 The LCM request comprises a common header and a section containing the details of the LCM action.
138 The LCM request conforms to the following structure::
142 "common-header": {"timestamp": "<TIMESTAMP>",
143 "api-ver": "<API_VERSION>",
144 "originator-id": "<ECOMP_SYSTEM_ID>",
145 "request-id": "<ECOMP_REQUEST_ID>",

157 "vserver-id": "VSERVER_ID"
159 ["payload": "<PAYLOAD>"]
164 Table 2 LCM Request Fields
166 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
167 | **Field** | **Description** | **Required?** |
168 +===========================+========================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================+=====================+
169 | input | The block that defines the details of the input to the command processing. Contains the common-header details. | Yes |
170 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
171 | common- header | The block that contains the generic details about a request. | Yes |
172 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
173 | timestamp | The time of the request, in ISO 8601 format, ZULU offset. For example: 2016-08-03T08:50:18.97Z. | Yes |
175 | | APPC will reject the request if timestamp is in the future (due to clock error), or timestamp is too old (compared to TTL flag) | |
176 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
177 | api-ver | Identifies the API version, in X.YY format, where X denotes the major version increased with each APPC release, and YY is the minor release version. For example: | Yes |
179 | | - 5.00 for this version | |
180 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
181 | originator-id | An identifier of the calling system limited to a length of 40 characters. | Yes |
183 | | It can be used for addressing purposes, such as to return an asynchronous response to the correct destination, in particular where there are multiple consumers of APPC APIs. | |
184 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
185 | request-id | The UUID for the request ID, limited to a length of 40 characters. The unique OSS/BSS identifier for the request ID that triggers the current LCM action. Multiple API calls can be made with the same request-id. | Yes |
187 | | The request-id is stored throughout the operations performed during a single request. | |
188 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
189 | sub-request-id | Uniquely identifies a specific LCM or control action, limited to a length of 40 characters. Persists throughout the life cycle of a single request. | No |
190 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
191 | flags | Generic flags that apply to all LCM actions: | No |
195 | | - "EXCLUSIVE" - accept no queued requests on this VNF while processing, or | |
197 | | - "NORMAL" - queue other requests until complete | |
199 | | - "FORCE" : "TRUE"\|"FALSE" - run action even if target is in an unstable state (for example, if VNF is busy processing another LCM command or if a previous command failed and VNF was indicated as not STABLE), or not. | |
201 | | The specific behavior of forced actions varies, but implies cancellation of the previous action and an override by the new action. The default value is FALSE. | |
203 | | Force flag are used to bypass APPC’s working state management for the VNF(VNF working State Management) : | |
205 | | APPC maintains working state (in the VNF\_STATE\_MANAGEMENT table present in the APPC-DB) for the VNF depending on the last action performed on it: | |
207 | | There are below 3 states appc have for VNF while performing non-read only operation (Read-Only operations are : Lock, Unlock, CheckLock, Sync, Audit etc. ) : | |
209 | | 1) Stable – If the last action performed on a VNF is Successful (returning Success). | |
211 | | 2) Unstable – This is the intermediate state for any VNF on which operation is being performed. | |
213 | | 3) Unknown – This is the status when the last action performed on a VNF is not successful. | |
215 | | APPC have validation that it will not allow any operations on VNF which is in Unstable or Unknown state. To skip this check end-user can pass Force-flag=true in the request. | |
217 | | - "TTL": <0....N> - The timeout value for the action to run, between action received by APPC and action initiated. | |
219 | | If no TTL value provided, the default/configurable TTL value is to be used. | |
220 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
221 | action | The action to be taken by APPC, for example: Test, Start, Terminate. | Yes |
223 | | ***NOTE:** The specific value for the action parameter is provided for each* command. | |
224 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
225 | action- identifiers | A block containing the action arguments. These are used to specify the object upon which APPC LCM command is to operate. At least one action-identifier must be specified (note that vnf-id is mandatory). For actions that are at the VM level, the action-identifiers provided would be vnf-id and vserver-id. | Yes |
226 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
227 | vnf-id | Identifies the VNF instance to which this action is to be applied. Required for actions. | Yes |

232 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
233 | vf-module-id | Identifies a specific VF module to which this action is to be applied. Required if the action applied to a specific VF module. | No |
234 +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+
235 | payload | An action-specific open-format field. | No |
237 | | The payload can be any valid JSON string value. JSON escape characters need to be added when an inner JSON string is included within the payload, for example: "{\\" vnf -host- ip | |
239 | | -address\\": \\"<VNF-HOST-IP-ADDRESS>\\"}". | |
241 | | The payload is typically used to provide parametric data associated with the command, such as a list of configuration parameters. | |
243 | | Note that not all LCM commands need have a payload. | |
245 | | ***NOTE:** See discussion below on the use of payloads for self-service actions.* | |

559 Self-Service VNF Onboarding
560 ---------------------------
562 The APPC architecture is designed for VNF self-service onboarding (i.e., a VNF owner or vendor through the use of tools can enable a new VNF to support the LCM API actions that are designate as self-service). The VNF must support one or more of the following interface protocols:
564 - Netconf with uploadable Yang model (requires a Netconf server running
567 - Chef (requires a Chef client running on the VNF)
569 - Ansible (does not require any changes to the VNF software)
571 The self-service onboarding process is done using an APPC Design GUI which interacts with an APPC instance which is dedicated to self-service onboarding. The steps in the onboarding process using the APPC Design GUI are:
573 - Define the VNF capabilities (set of actions that the VNF can
576 - Create a template and parameter definitions for actions which use the
577 Netconf, Chef, or Ansible protocols. The template is an xml or JSON
578 block which defines the “payload” which is included in the request
579 that is downloaded the VNF (if Netconf) or Chef/Ansible server.
581 - Test actions which have templates/parameter definitions.
583 - Upload the VNF definition, template, and parameter definition
584 artifacts to SDC which distributes them to all APPC instances in the
585 same environment (e.g., production).
587 For more details, see the APPC Self-Service VNF Onboarding Guide.
594 The LCM commands that are valid for the current release.
600 The Audit command compares the configuration of the VNF associated with the current request against the most recent configuration that is stored in APPC's configuration database.
602 A successful Audit means that the current VNF configuration matches the latest APPC stored configuration.
604 A failed Audit indicates that the configurations do not match.
606 This command can be applied to any VNF type. The only restriction is that the VNF has been onboarded in self-service mode (which requires that the VNF supports a request to return the running configuration).
608 The Audit action does not require any payload parameters.
610 **NOTE:** Audit does not return a payload containing details of the comparison, only the Success/Failure status.

630 | publish-config | \* If the publish\_config field is set to Y in the payload, then always send the running configuration from the VNF using the Data Router | Yes | "publish-config": "<Y\|N>" |
632 | | \* If the publish\_config field is set to N in the payload, then: | | |
634 | | - If the result of the audit is ‘match’ (latest APPC config and the running config match), do not send the running configuration in the Data Router | | |
636 | | - If the result of the audit is ‘no match’, then send the running configuration on the Data Router | | |
637 +----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+
642 The audit response returns an indication of success or failure of the audit. If a new configuration is uploaded to the APPC database, the payload contains the ‘upload\_config\_id’ and values for any records created. In addition, the configuration is sent to the ECOMP Data Router bus which may be received by an external configuration storage system.
648 The CheckLock command returns true if the specified VNF is locked; otherwise, false is returned.
650 A CheckLock command is deemed successful if the processing completes without error, whether the VNF is locked or not. The command returns only a single response with a final status.
652 Note that APPC locks the target VNF during any VNF command processing, so a VNF can have a locked status even if no Lock command has been explicitly called.
654 The CheckLock command returns a specific response structure that extends the default LCM response.
656 The CheckLock action does not require any payload parameters.

907 ConfigRestore Response
908 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
910 The ConfigRestore response returns an indication of success or failure of the request.
915 Evacuates a specified VM from its current host to another. After a successful evacuate, a rebuild VM is performed if a snapshot is available (and the VM boots from a snapshot.
917 The host on which the VM resides needs to be down.
919 If the node is not specified in the request, it will be selected by relying on internal rules to evacuate. The Evacuate action will fail if the specified target host is not UP/ENABLED.
921 After Evacuate, the rebuild VM can be disabled by setting the optional `rebuild-vm <#_bookmark43>`__ parameter to false.
923 A successful Evacuate action returns a success response. A failed Evacuate action returns a failure.

976 This command runs a VNF health check and returns the result.
978 A health check is VNF-specific. For a complex VNF, APPC initiates further subordinate health checks.
980 HealthCheck is a VNF level command which interrogates the VNF in order to determine the health of the VNF and the VNFCs. The HealthCheck will be implemented differently for each VNF.

1010 Use the Lock command to ensure exclusive access during a series of critical LCM commands.
1012 The Lock action will return a successful result if the VNF is not already locked or if it was locked with the same request-id, otherwise the action returns a response with a reject status code.
1014 Lock is a command intended for APPC and does not execute an actual VNF command. Instead, lock will ensure that ONAP is granted exclusive access to the VNF.
1016 When a VNF is locked, any subsequent sequential commands with same request-id will be accepted. Commands associated with other request-ids will be rejected.
1018 The Lock command returns only one final response with the status of the request processing.
1020 APPC locks the target VNF during any VNF command processing. If a lock action is then requested on that VNF, it will be rejected because the VNF was already locked, even though no actual lock command was explicitly invoked.

1037 Migrates a running target VM from its current host to another.
1039 A destination node will be selected by relying on internal rules to migrate. Migrate calls a command in order to perform the operation.
1041 Migrate suspends the guest virtual machine, and moves an image of the guest virtual machine's disk to the destination host physical machine. The guest virtual machine is then resumed on the destination host physical machine and the disk storage that it used on the source host physical machine is freed.
1043 The migrate action will leave the VM in the same Openstack state the VM had been in prior to the migrate action. If a VM was stopped before migration, a separate VM-level restart command would be needed to restart the VM after migration.
1045 A successful Migrate action returns a success response and the new node identity in the response payload block.
1047 A failed Migrate action returns a failure and the failure messages in the response payload block.

1085 Recreates a target VM instance to a known, stable state.
1087 Rebuild calls an OpenStack command immediately and therefore does not expect any prerequisite operations to be performed, such as shutting off a VM.
1089 APPC only supports the rebuild operation for a VM that boots from image (snapshot), i.e., APPC rejects a rebuild request if it determines the VM boots from volume (disk).
1091 A successful rebuild returns a success response and the rebuild details in the response payload block. A failed rebuild returns a failure and the failure messages in the response payload block.

1341 StopApplication Response
1342 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1344 The StopApplication response returns an indication of success or failure of the request.
1349 The Sync action updates the current configuration in the APPC store with the running configuration from the device.
1351 A successful Sync returns a success status.
1353 A failed Sync returns a failure response status and failure messages in the response payload block.
1355 This command can be applied to any VNF type. The only restriction is that the VNF has been onboarded in self-service mode (which requires that the VNF supports a request to return the running configuration).

1372 Run the Unlock command to release the lock on a VNF and allow other clients to perform LCM commands on that VNF.
1374 Unlock is a command intended for APPC and does not execute an actual VNF command. Instead, unlock will release the VNF from the exclusive access held by the specific request-id allowing other requests for the VNF to be accepted.
1376 The Unlock command will result in success if the VNF successfully unlocked or if it was already unlocked, otherwise commands will be rejected.
1378 The Unlock command will only return success if the VNF was locked with same `request-id <#_bookmark4>`__.
1380 The Unlock command returns only one final response with the status of the request processing.
1382 Note: APPC locks the target VNF during any command processing. If an Unlock action is then requested on that VNF with a different request-id, it will be rejected because the VNF is already locked for another process, even though no actual lock command was explicitly invoked.
