SDC R 3 Enhancement Proposal Kang Xi kang. xi@huawei. com

Import csar packages and re-edit to generate new services • User imports an existing csar package into SDC. • SDC parses the csar package and create a layout on the design panel. • User can edit to create a new service. • Value: - Being able to easily reuse existing csar packages. - Being able to transfer csar packages between different ONAP environment, thus facilitating debug and testing. 2

Combination of multiple components • Certain component combinations could be used by multiple services. • A user can save such a combination as an artifact to the category. • When designing a service, a user can drag and drop such a combination to the design panel to facilitate service design. • The combination is displayed with all details rather than a highlevel abstract. 3

GUI enhancement • Copy/delete of VFs and services. • Support shortcut keys for component operations, such as delete, copy/paste, etc. • Allow sorting of input parameters and properties to facilitate parameter settings. 4

Flexible service/resource version control • Commercial applications require flexible version control at service and resource level. • A certain version of service can be a combination of different versions of resource. • In particular, there is a need to upgrade/downgrade the version of each individual resource: - If there is no change to the resource’s connection points, the existing connections and the property data are automatically preserved. - If there are changes to the resource’s connection points, the existing connections are removed and the user is expected to create new connections. SDC Resource 1 V 2 Service V 1 Resource 2 V 1 Resource 1 V 1 Service V 2 Resource 2 V 3 • Stretch Goal: - For each resource, specify the supported resource API and csar version. - SDC will parse the above definitions to tell whether a number of resources are compatible to compose a service. Resource 1 V 2 Service V 5 Resource 2 V 3 5

Value to integrate more design-time tools into SDC • Integrate DG Builder - Integrate DG Builder into the Portal for easy access • Integrate A&AI schema design and distribution - Schema design is part of design time task and should be separate from runtime environment - A few basic features: • Schema editor and version control • Schema distribution to AAI • AAI is able to load the schema upon distribution 6

What is the ultimate goal of SDC and how to get there?
