Hi Tapan, In northbound/vnfapi/provider/src/main/java/org/openecomp/sdnc/vnfapi/vnfapiProvider.java, I could see many preload API functions implemented. For example , preloadNetworkTopologyOperation . Looking at the DG in vnfapi/src/main/xml/VNF-API_preload-network-topology-operation.xml , I think this is meant to reserve resources from network . So this may lead to a call to AAI for resource reservation. Can you confirm this is the flow you meant below as answer to #1 which can be alternately used instead of what is done currently by MSO workflow (for resource allocation/reservation in A&AI)
I think #3 below is for Service Function Chain. While ODL supports SFC through the SFC project, not sure if this is completely leveraged in ONAP. Also in ODL SFC most of the use cases involves working with VIM (say openstack) to map the networking-sfc port pairs in to ODL. In the DG supported node types, maybe we need to leverage multiple “configure“ DG node to set configuration in multiple hops (vnf-instance operation or network-topology-operation), or use native SFC project in ODL. May be some experts in DG can clarify this.

The workflow getting used in MSO is having one of the step as preloading the data. Because of which SDNC is getting used to get all the ips for the heat file.In the demo . In complex scenarios SDNC can play a vital role to create resources ,updating AAI and many more. In the demo not such action taking place. MSO is doing everything. Someone from SDNC can explain it better. I didn’t use the ./demo.sh appc directly but this is needed at the time of closed loop . When APPC controls the traffic with the help of vnf action “ModifyConfig”. If the mounting is not done ModifyConfig will not be successful. If you have different VNF then in that also we need honeycomb to make modifyConfig successful. Not sure about your third query. What is SFC ?

Along the way I am trying to understand the each component I encountered. I couldn't understand the following two points. 1) Preloading of data: Before deploying Vf-module, we have to preload the data to SDNC. But in one of the comments, I came to know this step to update AAI indirectly through SDNC. If that's true, then what is the role of SDNC here. How can I make use of SDNC in complex usecases. 2) APP-C Mounting: Why we need to ./demo.sh appc to trigger the action in packet generator. If I am using a different VNF, how can I use ./demo.sh ? 3)In the release-1.0.0 can we have support of SFC in SDNC?
