Create a Service
----------------
**Prerequisites:** Create VFs required for this service (see :ref:`vfcreation-and-testing`).
#. From the SDC HOME page, hover over Add and select Add Service.
#. In the General section, complete all fields.
NoteUse the letters "Svc" in the name to indicate that the
component is a service.
#. Click Create.
A message displays when VF creation is complete.
#. Click Composition.
For a description of the Composition section (see \ `Composition
(Service design) <https://wiki.onap.org/x/lIwP>`__ ).
#. Drag one or more elements from the Elements palette to the canvas.
#. To connect elements:
#. Hover over an element and then hover over \ |image2|.
Other elements that can connect to this element are highlighted.
#. Drag to a highlighted element on the canvas.
#. Select options for Requirements and Capabilities.
#. Click Connect.
#. To add artifacts at the service level:
#. Click an empty area in the canvas and click Deployment Artifacts
(right pane).
#. Click \ |image3|.
#. Select the type.
#. Click Browse, locate a file to upload, and click Open.
#. Complete all other fields.
#. Click Done.
Use this function to add YANG artifacts for distribution to SDNC.
#. Click Check In to save changes.
A box displays for confirming the changes.
#. Enter a comment and click OK.
A message displays when the VF is checked in.
#. [Optional] At any time before submitting the service for testing,
click these options to update service information:
- Icon change the icon associated with the service
- TOSCA Artifacts view and edit artifacts, such as the .csar file
and TOSCA template
- Composition view or edit the graphical representation of the
service-level TOSCA model
- Activity Log view activity related to the service
- Workflow model service lifecycle workflows for execution in SO
(see `Create a Workflow [optional]`_)
- Network Call Flow model interactions among VFs (see `Create a
Network Callflow [optional]`_)
- Deployment view HEAT modules in VSPs
- Inputs select parameters as input fields during VID
instantiation (see `Select VID Inputs [optional]`_).
#. After creating a service and configuring optional fields, submit it
for testing (see `Submit a Service for Testing`_).
Create a Workflow [optional]
----------------------------
Create a workflow to model the SO recipes of the service life cycle such
as instantiation, upgrade, termination, or suspension of a service or
VNF. In the workflow each of the Activity, represent API calls to
various ONAP components (such as OOF, SDN-C, App-C, etc) that perform a
business function needed.
NoteThe information collected in this section is represented in BPMN
format and included in distributed service model.
**Prerequisites:** All the required ActivitySpec as supported by SO
are registered in SDC.
#. From the SDC HOME page, click WORKFLOW.
#. Click Add Workflow.
#. The Create New Workflow box displays.
#. Complete all fields.
#. Click Create.
#. Specify Inputs & Outputs of Workflow
#. Define the Composition of Workflow.
#. All the Tasks in the composition are expected to be ServiceTask
for using Activities defined in SO.
#. Select the Implementation in the Task "general" tab to Activity.
#. Select the required ActivitySpec.
#. Mark the workflow as executable by selecting the Executable flag in
the workflow "general" tab.
#. Click Save.
#. Certify the Workflow.
Create a Network Callflow [optional]
------------------------------------
Create a network callflow to model the interactions among VFs within a
service, such how VFs interact to deliver a service while the service is
being consumed. In the model, lifelines represent VFs.
NoteThe information collected in this section is not distributed with
the service model.
**Prerequisites:** `Create a service`_
#. From the SDC HOME page, click CATALOG and search for a service.
#. Click the service and click Check Out.
#. Click Network Call Flow.
#. Click Add Workflow.
The Create New Workflow box displays.
#. Complete all fields.
#. Click Save.
#. In the new workflow pane, click the Lifelines icon.
The LIFELINES/STEPS view displays.
#. To add a lifeline (component), do the following:
#. Click LIFELINES to expand the pane.
#. Click Add Lifeline.
#. In the [Unnamed Lifeline field], enter a name for the lifeline.
#. To add other lifelines to the workflow, repeat the actions above.
#. After creating all required lifelines, do the following to add a step
(showing an action between two lifelines):
#. Under STEPS (left pane), click Add Message.
An unnamed step is added under STEPS.
#. In the [Unnamed Message] field, enter a name or message for the
step.
#. From the component and arrow dropdown lists, select the two
components that communicate in this step, and the arrow to show in
which direction the communication flows.
#. To add another step, repeat the actions above.
#. [Optional] Change the order of steps by clicking a step and dragging
it to the preferred position.
#. Click Save.
#. Click Check In to save changes.
Select VID Inputs [optional]
----------------------------
Select parameters as input fields during
`VID <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Glossary#Glossary-VID>`__
instantiation.
NoteFor questions about how to use this section, contact the Service
Design and Creation team (see \ `Mailing
Lists <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Mailing+Lists>`__).
**Prerequisites:** `Create a service`_
#. From the SDC HOME page, click CATALOG and search for a service.
#. Click the service and click Check Out.
#. Click Inputs.
#. From the Resource instance inputs pane, expand the name of a
resource.
#. Select inputs by clicking the check box in each row as required.
NoteDo not select inputs that are already in the ENV file (this
overwrites values specified in the ENV).
#. Click \ |image4| to move selected inputs to the Service inputs pane.
#. Click Check In to save changes.
Update a Service [optional]
---------------------------
Update service information and artifacts.
Update the version of a VF referenced in the service whenever the VF is
updated (see step 4).
**Prerequisites:**
- Create a service.
- If a VF included in the service was updatedsee "Update a VF
[optional]" and "Test a VF".
#. From the SDC HOME page, click CATALOG and search for a service.
#. Click the service and click Check Out.
#. Click Composition.
#. To update the version of a VF referenced in the service:
#. Click Composition.
#. Click the VF in the canvas.
#. On the General Info tab (right pane), select the VF version.
#. To update artifacts at the service level:
#. Click an empty area in the canvas and click Deployment Artifacts
(right pane).
#. View, add, delete, or download artifacts as required.
#. [Optional] Add, edit, or remove VFs that comprise the service
reference architecture (see steps 4 to 6 in \ `Create a Service`_).
#. [Optional] Click Operations to edit Service Operations.
#. Create/Edit Operations
#. Assign Workflow
#. Click Save
#. [Optional] Click Management Callflow to edit, upload, or delete
associated deployment artifacts (see "Create a Management Workflow [optional]").

that comprise the service (see `Create a Network Callflow [optional]`_).
#. [Optional] Click Inputs to select parameters as input fields during
VID instantiation (see `Select VID Inputs [optional]`_).
#. Click Check In to save changes.
#. After updating a service and configuring optional fields, submit it
for testing (see `Submit a Service for Testing`_).
Submit a Service for Testing
----------------------------
NoteA service cannot be submitted for testing if the reference
architecture contains uncertified resources.
**Prerequisites:** `Create a Service`_
#. When a service is ready for testing, click CATALOG and search for the
service.
#. Click the service and click Submit for Testing.
A box displays for sending a message to the testers.
#. Enter a message for the testers asking that they begin service
certification and click OK.
The default mail client launches with a draft email containing the
message from step 2.
#. Add the email addresses of the people on the Certification Group with
the Tester role and send the email.
Test a Service
--------------
Test the design and associated artifacts of a service.
**Prerequisites:** `Submit a Service for Testing`_.
#. Sign in to SDC as a Tester.
#. From the HOME page, select Ready For Testing under Active Projects.
#. In the right pane, click the service to test.
#. Click Start Testing.
