+Jakarta Release - Automate Network Slicing Option2 preparation step
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Automation of the Network Slicing Option2 use case is under development. At this moment automation of the preparation step is completed, with the source code under `SMO package repo <https://github.com/sebdet/oran-deployment>`_. The detailed introduction of the framework can be found at `SMO package introduction <https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/IAT/Automated+deployment+and+testing+-+using+SMO+package+and+ONAP+Python+SDK>`_.
+
+The preparation scripts are python scripts, based on the ONAP pythonsdk framework. More libraries are added under SMO package in order to run the preparation scripts.
+
+The preparation scripts locate in folder **test/pythonsdk/src/orantests/network_slicing**. Before running the script, please open **settings.py** under folder **test/pythonsdk/src/orantests/configuration**. Make sure the URL settings for all the components are the good values.
+
+If the settings are good, go to folder **test/pythonsdk/src/orantests/network-slicing** and run the following command to trigger the preparation script:
+
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ cd ./test/pythonsdk/src/orantests/network-slicing
+ tox -e ns-tests
+
+The command will trigger the main script **test_network_slicing.py**, which in turn triggers the preparation script of each component.
+
+The whole preparation process will configure the components and also verifies a bit whether the configuration was done successfully at the end of each step.
+
+The whole process may take about 1 hour to complete. You can monitor the progress using the log file **pythonsdk.debug.log** located in the folder **network_slicing/preparation**.
+
+If everything goes fine, you will see similar logs as shown below in the end.
+
+.. image:: files/ns_automation/ns_automation_suc.png
+
+If things goes wrong, please read the logs to identify which part has go wrong and try to fix that step manually.
+
+Then you can update the **test_network_slicing.py**, disable steps that are already complete, and replay the tox command to complete the rest of the configuration.
+
+
+Please note, when checking **test_network_slicing.py** in details, you will find some of the preparation steps might require extra input parameters, such as **cst_id**, **cst_invariant_id** and **sp_id**. These values could be found in both logs and SDC UI.
+
+.. image:: files/ns_automation/ns_automation_test_class.png
+
+In case it failed in the middle of the SDC template creation, please update the **sdc_template_suffix** variable inside the **test_network_slicing.py** and then rerun the script with tox command.
+
+Since SDC doesn't support creating template with the same name, neither deleting of any templates, you have to add a suffix to the original name to create template with a new name.
