301 APPC code has been formally scanned during build time using NexusIQ and all Critical vulnerabilities have been addressed, items that remain open have been assessed for risk and determined to be false positive. The APPC open Critical security vulnerabilities and their risk assessment have been documented as part of the `project <https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=25438971>`_.
303 Additionally, communication over DMaaP currently does not use secure topics in this release. This has dependency on DMaaP to enable.

315 - Limitations, Constraints and other worthy notes
317 - An issue was discovered with usage of AAF in an OOM deployed environment after the Beijing release was created. The issue was twofold (tracked under `APPC-977 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-977>`_):
319 - Needed APPC configuration files were missing in Beijing OOM , and
320 - AAF updated their certificates to require 2way certs, which requires APPC updates
322 Additionally, in a Heat deployed environment, a manual workaround will be required to authorize with AAF if they are using 2way certificates. For instruction on workaround steps needed depending on type of deployment, please refer to the following wiki: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/AAF+Integration+with+APPC.
324 - During the testing of the vCPE/vMUX closed loop scenarios in an OOM deployed environment, an issue was encountered where transactions were not being deleted from the TRANSACTION table and was blocking other Restart request from completing successfully (tracked under `APPC-987 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-987>`_). A workaround is available and documented in the Jira ticket.
326 - It is impossible for us to test all aspect of the application. Scope of testing done in Beijing is captured on the following wiki: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/APPC+Beijing+Testing+Scope+and+Status
328 - Currently APPC only supports OpenStack
330 - OpenStack Hypervisorcheck is turned off by default. If you want to invoke this functionality via the appc.properties, you need to enable it and ensure you have Admin level access to OpenStack.
332 - Integration with MultiCloud is supported for Standalone Restart (i.e., not via DGOrchestrator). For any other action, such as Stop, Start, etc.. via MultiCloud requires the MultiCloud identity URL to be either passed in the payload or defined in appc.properties.
334 - APPC needs Admin level access for Tenant level operations.
336 - Currently, the "ModifyConfig" API and the implementation in the Master Directed Graph is only designed to work with the vFW Closed-Loop Demo.
342 :Release Date: 2017-11-16
347 The Amsterdam release continued evolving the design driven architecture of and functionality for APPC.
348 APPC aims to be completely agnostic and make no assumption about the network.
350 The main goal of the Amsterdam release was to:
351 - Support the vCPE use case as part of the closed loop action to perform a Restart on the vGMUX
352 - Demonstrate integration with MultiCloud as a proxy to OpenStack
353 - Continue supporting the vFW closed loop use case as part of regression from the seed contribution.
355 Other key features added in this release include:
356 - Support for Ansible
357 - The Ansible Extension for APP-C allows management of VNFs that support Ansible. Ansible is a an open-source VNF management framework that provides an almost cli like set of tools in a structured form. APPC supports Ansible through the following three additions: An Ansible server interface, Ansible Adapter, and Ansible Directed Graph.
359 - The Chef Extension for APPC allows management of VNFs that support Chef through the following two additions: a Chef Adapter and Chef Directed Graph.
360 - LifeCycle Management (LCM) APIs via standalone DGs or via the DGOrchestrator architecture to trigger actions on VMs, VNFs, or VNFCs
361 - OAM APIs to manage the APPC application itself
362 - Upgrade of OpenDaylight to Carbon version
368 - This is technically the first release of APPC, previous release was the seed code contribution. As such, the defects fixed in this release were raised during the course of the release. Anything not closed is captured below under Known Issues. If you want to review the defects fixed in the Amsterdam release, refer to `Jira <https://jira.onap.org/issues/?filter=10570&jql=project%20%3D%20APPC%20AND%20issuetype%20%3D%20Bug%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Closed%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%22Amsterdam%20Release%22>`_.
370 - Please also refer to the notes below. Given the timeframe and resource limitations, not all functions of the release could be validated. Items that were validated are documented on the wiki at the link provide below. If you find issues in the course of your work with APPC, please open a defect in the Application Controller project of Jira (jira.onpa.org)
374 - `APPC-312 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-312>`_ - APPC request is going to wrong request handler and rejecting request. Configure request failing with following error: ``REJECTED Action Configure is not supported on VM level``.
376 - `APPC-311 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-311>`_ - The APPC LCM Provider Healthcheck, which does a healthceck on a VNF, is failing. No known workaround at this time.
378 - `APPC-309 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-309>`_ - The property: ``appc.LCM.provider.url=http://127.0.0.1:8181/restconf/operations/appc-provider-lcm`` is missing from appc.properties in the appc deployment. The property can be manually added as a workaround, then bounce the appc container.
380 - `APPC-307 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-307>`_ - Missing jackson-annotations dependency in appc-dg-common - This issue results in Rebuild operation via the APPC Provider not to work. Use instead Rebuild via the APPC LCM Provider using DGOrchestrator.
382 - `APPC-276 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-276>`_ - A number of junit testcases need to be reworked because they are causing APPC builds to take much longer to complete. This issue does not cause the build to fail, just take longer. You can comment out these junit in your local build if this is a problem.
384 - `APPC-248 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-248>`_ - There is an compatibility issue between PowerMock and Jacoco which causes Sonar coverage not to be captured. There is no functional impact on APPC.
386 - `APPC-154 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/APPC-154>`_ - Logging issue - Request REST API of APPC has RequestID (MDC) in Body or Payload section instead of Header.
390 - Communication over DMaaP currently does not use secure topics in this release.
391 - AAF is deactivated by default in this release and was not validated or committed as part of the Amsterdam Release.

398 - LCM Healthcheck and Configure actions do not work.
399 - The APPC actions validated in this release are captured here: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/APPC+Testing+Scope+and+Status
400 - Currently APPC only supports OpenStack
401 - OpenStack Hypervisorcheck is turned off by default. If you want to invoke this functionality via the appc.properties, you need to enable it and ensure you have Admin level access to OpenStack.
402 - Integration with MultiCloud is supported for Standalone Restart (i.e., not via DGOrchestrator). For any other action, such as Stop, Start, etc.. via MultiCloud requires the MultiCloud identity URL to be either passed in the payload or defined in appc.properties.
403 - APPC needs Admin level access for Tenant level operations.
404 - Currently, if DGs are modified in appc.git repo, they must be manually moved to the appc/deployment repo.
405 - Currently, the "ModifyConfig" API and the implementation in the Master Directed Graph is only designed to work with the vFW Closed-Loop Demo.
