| CPS Overview |
| ============ |
| |
| The Configuration Persistence Service (CPS) is a platform component that is designed to serve as a |
| data repository for runtime data that needs persistence. |
| |
| Types of data that is stored: |
| |
| - **Configuration Parameters** |
| |
| These are configuration parameters that are used by xNFs during installation & commissioning. Configuration |
| parameters are typically used before the xNF has been brought up or is operational. For example, a 5G Network |
| configuration parameter for a PNFs that sets the mechanical tilt which is a configuration setting upon |
| installation. |
| |
| - **Operational Parameters** |
| |
| This operational information could be either an actual state or configuration of a network service or device. |
| These are parameters that are derived, discovered, computed that are used by xNFs during run time AFTER the |
| xNF becomes operational i.e. AFTER it has "booted up", been installed or configured. For example, in 5G Network, |
| 5G PNFs may need to adjust a tower electrical antenna tilt. These operational parameters are Exo-inventory |
| information, meaning it is information that doesn't belong in A&AI. In principle, some parameters might be both |
| configuration and operational parameters depending on how they are used. |
| |
| CPS Components |
| -------------- |
| |
| CPS-Core |
| ######## |
| This is the component of CPS which encompasses the generic storage of Yang module data. |
| |
| **NCMP** |
| |
| The Network Configuration Management Proxy (NCMP) provides access to network configuration data and is a part of CPS-Core. |
| NCMP accesses all network Data-Model-Inventory (DMI) information via NCMP-DMI-Plugins. The ONAP0-DMI-Plugin described in the next section is one such plugin. |
| |
| **Note:** This documentation will often refer to "CPS-NCMP" which is the component (container image) that contains both CPS-Core and NCMP since NCMP is not a stand-alone component |
| even though CPS-Core could be deployed without the NCMP extension. |
| |
| NCMP-DMI-Plugin |
| #################### |
| |
| The Data-Model-Inventory (DMI) Plugin is a rest interface used to synchronize CM-Handles data between CPS and DMI through the DMI-Plugin. |
| This is built previously from the CPS-NF-Proxy component. |
| |
| CPS-Temporal |
| ############ |
| |
| This service is responsible to provide a time oriented perspective for |
| operational network data. It provides features to store and retrieve sequences |
| of configurations or states along with the associated times when they occurred |
| or have been observed. |
