16
17 .. container:: paragraph
18
19 APEX is 100% written in Java and runs on any platform
20 that supports a JVM, e.g. Windows, Unix, Cygwin. Some
21 APEX applications (such as the monitoring application)
22 come as web archives, they do require a war-capable web
23 server installed.

119------------------------
120
121 .. container:: paragraph
122
123 The first APEX source code was hosted on Github in
124 January 2018. By the end of 2018, APEX was added as a
125 project in the ONAP Policy Framework, released later in
126 the ONAP Casablanca release.
127
128 .. container:: paragraph
129
130 The APEX source code is hosted in ONAP as project APEX.
131 The current stable version is in the master branch.
132 Simply clone the master branch from ONAP using HTTPS.

143Build APEX
144----------
145
146 .. container:: paragraph
147
148 The examples in this document assume that the APEX source
149 repositories are cloned to:
150
151 .. container:: ulist
152
153 - Unix, Cygwin: ``/usr/local/src/apex-pdp``
154
155 - Windows: ``C:\dev\apex-pdp``
156
157 - Cygwin: ``/cygdrive/c/dev/apex-pdp``
158
159 .. important::
160 A Build requires ONAP Nexus
161 APEX has a dependency to ONAP parent projects. You might need to adjust your Maven M2 settings. The most current
162 settings can be found in the ONAP oparent repo: `Settings <https://git.onap.org/oparent/plain/settings.xml>`__.
163
164 .. important::
165 A Build needs Space
166 Building APEX requires approximately 2-3 GB of hard disc space, 1 GB for the actual build with full
167 distribution and 1-2 GB for the downloaded dependencies
168
169 .. important::
170 A Build requires Internet (for first build)
171 During the build, several (a lot) of Maven dependencies will be downloaded and stored in the configured local Maven
172 repository. The first standard build (and any first specific build) requires Internet access to download those
173 dependencies.
174
175 .. important::
176 Building RPM distributions
177 RPM images are only build if the ``rpm`` package is installed (Unix). To install ``rpm`` run ``sudo apt-get install rpm``,
178 then build APEX.
179
180 .. container:: paragraph
181
182 Use Maven to for a standard build without any tests.

299Install APEX
300------------
301
302 .. container:: paragraph
303
304 APEX can be installed in different ways:
305
306 .. container:: ulist
307
308 - Unix: automatically using ``rpm`` or ``dpkg`` from ``.rpm`` or
309 ``.deb`` archive
310
311 - Windows, Unix, Cygwin: manually from a ``.tar.gz`` archive
312
313 - Windows, Unix, Cygwin: build from source using Maven, then
314 install manually
315
316Install with RPM and DPKG
317#########################
318
319 .. container:: paragraph
320
321 The install distributions of APEX automatically install the
322 system. The installation directory is
323 ``/opt/app/policy/apex-pdp``. Log files are located in
324 ``/var/log/onap/policy/apex-pdp``. The latest APEX version will
325 be available as ``/opt/app/policy/apex-pdp/apex-pdp``.
326
327 .. container:: paragraph
328
329 For the installation, a new user ``apexuser`` and a new group
330 ``apexuser`` will be created. This user owns the installation
331 directories and the log file location. The user is also used by
332 the standard APEX start scripts to run APEX with this user’s
333 permissions.

487 .. container:: paragraph
488
489 Clone the APEX GIT repositories into a directory. Go to that
490 directory. Use Maven to build APEX (all details on building
491 APEX from source can be found in *APEX HowTo: Build*). Install
492 from the created artifacts (``rpm``, ``deb``, ``tar.gz``, or
493 copying manually).
494
495 .. important::
496 Building RPM distributions
497 RPM images are only build if the ``rpm`` package is installed (Unix). To install ``rpm`` run
498 ``sudo apt-get install rpm``, then build APEX.
499
500 .. container:: paragraph
501
502 The following example shows how to build the APEX system,
503 without tests (``-DskipTests``) to safe some time. It assumes
504 that the APX GIT repositories are cloned to:
505
506 .. container:: ulist

529 The build takes about 2 minutes without test and about 4-5 minutes
530 with tests on a standard development laptop. It should run through
531 without errors, but with a lot of messages from the build process. If
532 build with tests (i.e. without ``-DskipTests``), there will be error
533 messages and stack trace prints from some tests. This is normal, as
534 long as the build finishes successful.

715System Configuration
716--------------------
717
718 .. container:: paragraph
719
720 Once APEX is installed, a few configurations need to be done:
721
722 .. container:: ulist
723
724 - Create an APEX user and an APEX group (optional, if not
725 installed using RPM and DPKG)
726
727 - Create environment settings for ``APEX_HOME`` and
728 ``APEX_USER``, required by the start scripts
729
730 - Change settings of the logging framework (optional)
731
732 - Create directories for logging, required (execution might fail
733 if directories do not exist or cannot be created)
734
735APEX User and Group
736###################
737
738 .. container:: paragraph
739
740 On smaller installations and test systems, APEX can run as any
741 user or group.
742
743 .. container:: paragraph
744
745 However, if APEX is installed in production, we strongly
746 recommend you set up a dedicated user for running APEX. This
747 will isolate the execution of APEX to that user. We recommend
748 you use the userid ``apexuser`` but you may use any user you
749 choose.
750
751 .. container:: paragraph
752
753 The following example, for UNIX, creates a group called
754 ``apexuser``, an APEX user called ``apexuser``, adds the group
755 to the user, and changes ownership of the APEX installation to
756 the user. Substitute ``<apex-dir>`` with the directory where
757 APEX is installed.

775Environment Settings: APEX_HOME and APEX_USER
776#############################################
777
778 .. container:: paragraph
779
780 The provided start scripts for APEX require two environment
781 variables being set:
782
783 .. container:: ulist
784
785 - ``APEX_USER`` with the user under whos name and permission APEX
786 should be started (Unix only)
787
788 - ``APEX_HOME`` with the directory where APEX is installed (Unix,
789 Windows, Cygwin)
790
791 .. container:: paragraph
792
793 The first row in the following table shows how to set these
794 environment variables temporary (assuming the user is
795 ``apexuser``). The second row shows how to verify the settings.
796 The last row explains how to set those variables permanently.

968################################
969
970 .. container:: paragraph
971
972 A simple verification of an APEX installation can be done by
973 simply starting the APEX engine without any configuration. On
974 Unix (or Cygwin) start the engine using
975 ``$APEX_HOME/bin/apexEngine.sh``. On Windows start the engine
976 using ``%APEX_HOME%\bin\apexEngine.bat``. The engine will fail
977 to fully start. However, if the output looks similar to the
978 following line, the APEX installation is realized.

1085 the console. Pasting the input event multiple times will produce
1086 output events with different values.

1128 APEX has a REST application for viewing policy models. The
1129 application can also be used to create new policy models close to
1130 the engine native policy language. Start the REST editor as
1131 follows.

1152
1153 The script will start a simple web server
1154 (`Grizzly <https://javaee.github.io/grizzly/>`__) and deploy a
1155 ``war`` web archive in it. Once the editor is started, it will be
1156 available on ``localhost:18989``. The last few line of the messages
1157 should be:

1192 Now load a policy model by clicking the menu ``File`` and then
1193 ``Open``. In the opened dialog, go to the directory where APEX is
1194 installed, then ``examples``, ``models``, ``SampleDomain``, and there
1195 select the file ``SamplePolicyModelJAVA.json``. This will load the

1215Installing WAR Applications
1216---------------------------
1217
1218 .. container:: paragraph
1219
1220 APEX comes with a set of WAR files. These are complete
1221 applications that can be installed and run in an application
1222 server. All of these applications are realized as servlets. You
1223 can find the WAR applications in ``$APEX_HOME/war`` (UNIX, Cygwin)
1224 or ``%APEX_HOME%\war`` (Windows).
1225
1226 .. container:: paragraph
1227
1228 Installing and using the WAR applications requires a web server
1229 that can execute ``war`` web archives. We recommend to use `Apache
1230 Tomcat <https://tomcat.apache.org/>`__, however other web servers
1231 can be used as well.
1232
1233 .. container:: paragraph
1234
1235 Install Apache Tomcat including the ``Manager App``, see `V9.0
1236 Docs <https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring_Manager_Application_Access>`__
1237 for details. Start the Tomcat service, or make sure that Tomcat is
1238 running.
1239
1240 .. container:: paragraph
1241
1242 There are multiple ways to install the APEX WAR applications:
1243
1244 .. container:: ulist
1245
1246 - copy the ``.war`` file into the Tomcat ``webapps`` folder
1247
1248 - use the Tomcat ``Manager App`` to deploy via the web interface
1249
1250 - deploy using a REST call to Tomcat
1251
1252 .. container:: paragraph
1253
1254 For details on how to install ``war`` files please consult the
1255 `Tomcat
1256 Documentation <https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/index.html>`__
1257 or the `Manager App
1258 HOW-TO <https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/manager-howto.html>`__.
1259 Once you installed an APEX WAR application (and wait for
1260 sufficient time for Tomcat to finalize the installation), open the
1261 ``Manager App`` in Tomcat. You should see the APEX WAR application
1262 being installed and running.
1263
1264 .. container:: paragraph
1265
1266 In case of errors, examine the log files in the Tomcat log
1267 directory. In a conventional install, those log files are in the
1268 logs directory where Tomcat is installed.
1269
1270 .. container:: paragraph
1271
1272 The current APEX version provides the following WAR applications:
1273
1274 .. container:: ulist
1275
1276 - client-deployment-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a client to deploy new
1277 policy models to a running engine
1278
1279 - client-editor-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - the standard policy REST
1280 editor GUI
1281
1282 - client-monitoring-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a client for monitoring
1283 a running APEX engine
1284
1285 - client-full-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a full client with a
1286 one-stop-access to deployment, monitoring, and REST editor
1287
1288 - examples-servlet-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - an example APEX servlet

1394
1395Introduction to APEX Configuration
1396----------------------------------
1397
1398 .. container:: paragraph
1399
1400 An APEX engine can be configured to use various combinations
1401 of event input handlers, event output handlers, event
1402 protocols, context handlers, and logic executors. The system
1403 is build using a plugin architecture. Each configuration
1404 option is realized by a plugin, which can be loaded and
1405 configured when the engine is started. New plugins can be
1406 added to the system at any time, though to benefit from a
1407 new plugin an engine will need to be restarted.

1421 The APEX distribution already comes with a number of
1422 plugins. The figure above shows the provided plugins. Any
1423 combination of input, output, event protocol, context

1428
1429 .. container:: paragraph
1430
1431 The APEX configuration file is a JSON file containing a few
1432 main blocks for different parts of the configuration. Each
1433 block then holds the configuration details. The following

1607 required plug-ins for the loaded model are loaded as
1608 required.
1609
1610Input and Output Interfaces
1611---------------------------
1612
1613 .. container:: paragraph
1614
1615 An APEX engine has two main interfaces:
1616
1617 .. container:: ulist
1618
1619 - An *input* interface to receive events: also known as
1620 ingress interface or consumer, receiving (consuming)
1621 events commonly named triggers, and
1622
1623 - An *output* interface to publish produced events: also
1624 known as egress interface or producer, sending
1625 (publishing) events commonly named actions or action
1626 events.
1627
1628 .. container:: paragraph
1629
1630 The input and output interface is configured in terms of
1631 inputs and outputs, respectively. Each input and output is a
1632 combination of a carrier technology and an event protocol.
1633 Carrier technologies and event protocols are provided by
1634 plugins, each with its own specific configuration. Most
1635 carrier technologies can be configured for input as well as
1636 output. Most event protocols can be used for all carrier
1637 technologies. One exception is the JMS object event
1638 protocol, which can only be used for the JMS carrier
1639 technology. Some further restrictions apply (for instance
1640 for carrier technologies using bi- or uni-directional
1641 modes).
1642
1643 .. container:: paragraph
1644
1645 Input and output interface can be configured separately, in
1646 isolation, with any number of carrier technologies. The
1647 resulting general configuration options are:
1648
1649 .. container:: ulist
1650
1651 - Input interface with one or more inputs
1652
1653 .. container:: ulist
1654
1655 - each input with a carrier technology and an event
1656 protocol
1657
1658 - some inputs with optional synchronous mode
1659
1660 - some event protocols with additional parameters
1661
1662 - Output interface with one or more outputs
1663
1664 .. container:: ulist
1665
1666 - each output with a carrier technology and an event
1667 encoding
1668

1675 The configuration for input and output is contained in
1676 ``eventInputParameters`` and ``eventOutputParameters``,
1677 respectively. Inside here, one can configure any number of
1678 inputs and outputs. Each of them needs to have a unique
1679 identifier (name), the content of the name is free form. The
1680 example below shows a configuration for two inputs and two

1754Event Filters
1755#############
1756
1757 .. container:: paragraph
1758
1759 APEX will always send an event after a policy execution
1760 is finished. For a successful execution, the event sent
1761 is the output event created by the policy. In case the
1762 policy does not create an output event, APEX will create
1763 a new event with all input event fields plus an
1764 additional field ``exceptionMessage`` with an exception
1765 message.
1766
1767 .. container:: paragraph
1768
1769 There are situations in which this auto-generated error
1770 event might not be required or wanted:
1771
1772 .. container:: ulist
1773
1774 - when a policy failing should not result in an event
1775 send out via an output interface
1776
1777 - when the auto-generated event goes back in an APEX
1778 engine (or the same APEX engine), this can create
1779 endless loops
1780
1781 - the auto-generated event should go to a special output
1782 interface or channel
1783
1784 .. container:: paragraph
1785
1786 All of these situations are supported by a filter option
1787 using a wildecard (regular expression) configuration on
1788 APEX I/O interfaces. The parameter is called
1789 ``eventNameFilter`` and the value are `Java regular
1790 expressions <https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html>`__
1791 (a
1792 `tutorial <http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/JavaRegularExpressions/article.html>`__).

1816Executors
1817---------
1818
1819 .. container:: paragraph
1820
1821 Executors are plugins that realize the execution of logic
1822 contained in a policy model. Logic can be in a task
1823 selector, a task, and a state finalizer. Using plugins for
1824 execution environments makes APEX very flexible to support
1825 virtually any executable logic expressions.
1826
1827 .. container:: paragraph
1828
1829 APEX 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT supports the following executors:
1830
1831 .. container:: ulist
1832
1833 - Java, for Java implemented logic
1834
1835 .. container:: ulist
1836
1837 - This executor requires logic implemented using the
1838 APEX Java interfaces.
1839
1840 - Generated JAR files must be in the classpath of the
1841 APEX engine at start time.
1842
1843 - Javascript
1844
1845 - JRuby,
1846
1847 - Jython,
1848
1849 - MVEL
1850
1851 .. container:: ulist
1852
1853 - This executor uses the latest version of the MVEL
1854 engine, which can be very hard to debug and can
1855 produce unwanted side effects during execution

1987 Context handlers are responsible for all context processing.
1988 There are the following main areas:
1989
1990 .. container:: ulist
1991
1992 - Context schema: use schema handlers other than Java class
1993 (supported by default without configuration)
1994
1995 - Context distribution: distribute context across multiple
1996 APEX engines
1997
1998 - Context locking: mechanisms to lock context elements for
1999 read/write
2000
2001 - Context persistence: mechanisms to persist context
2002
2003 .. container:: paragraph
2004
2005 APEX provides plugins for each of the main areas.
2006
2007Configure AVRO Schema Handler
2008#############################
2009
2010 .. container:: paragraph
2011
2012 The AVRO schema handler is added to the configuration as
2013 follows:
2014
2015 .. container:: listingblock
2016
2017 .. container:: content
2018
2019 .. code::
2020
2021 "engineServiceParameters":{
2022 "engineParameters":{
2023 "contextParameters":{
2024 "parameterClassName" : "org.onap.policy.apex.context.parameters.ContextParameters",

2029 }
2030 }
2031 }
2032 }
2033 }
2034
2035 .. container:: paragraph
2036
2037 Using the AVRO schema handler has one limitation: AVRO
2038 only supports field names that represent valid Java class
2039 names. This means only letters and the character ``_``
2040 are supported. Characters commonly used in field names,
2041 such as ``.`` and ``-``, are not supported by AVRO. for
2042 more information see `Avro Spec:
2043 Names <https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html#names>`__.
2044
2045 .. container:: paragraph
2046
2047 To work with this limitation, the APEX Avro plugin will
2048 parse a given AVRO definition and replace *all*
2049 occurrences of ``.`` and ``-`` with a ``_``. This means
2050 that
2051
2052 .. container:: ulist
2053
2054 - In a policy model, if the AVRO schema defined a field
2055 as ``my-name`` the policy logic should access it as
2056 ``my_name``
2057
2058 - In a policy model, if the AVRO schema defined a field
2059 as ``my.name`` the policy logic should access it as
2060 ``my_name``
2061
2062 - There should be no field names that convert to the
2063 same internal name
2064
2065 .. container:: ulist
2066
2067 - For instance the simultaneous use of
2068 ``my_name``, ``my.name``, and ``my-name`` should
2069 be avoided
2070
2071 - If not avoided, the event processing might
2072 create unwanted side effects
2073
2074 - If field names use any other not-supported character,
2075 the AVRO plugin will reject it
2076
2077 .. container:: ulist
2078
2079 - Since AVRO uses lazy initialization, this
2080 rejection might only become visible at runtime
2081
2082Carrier Technologies
2083--------------------
2084
2085 .. container:: paragraph
2086
2087 Carrier technologies define how APEX receives (input) and
2088 sends (output) events. They can be used in any combination,
2089 using asynchronous or synchronous mode. There can also be
2090 any number of carrier technologies for the input (consume)
2091 and the output (produce) interface.
2092
2093 .. container:: paragraph
2094
2095 Supported *input* technologies are:
2096
2097 .. container:: ulist
2098
2099 - Standard input, read events from the standard input
2100 (console), not suitable for APEX background servers
2101
2102 - File input, read events from a file
2103
2104 - Kafka, read events from a Kafka system
2105
2106 - Websockets, read events from a Websocket
2107
2108 - JMS,
2109
2110 - REST (synchronous and asynchronous), additionally as
2111 client or server
2112
2113 - Event Requestor, allows reading of events that have been
2114 looped back into APEX
2115
2116 .. container:: paragraph
2117
2118 Supported *output* technologies are:
2119
2120 .. container:: ulist
2121
2122 - Standard output, write events to the standard output
2123 (console), not suitable for APEX background servers
2124
2125 - File output, write events to a file
2126
2127 - Kafka, write events to a Kafka system
2128
2129 - Websockets, write events to a Websocket
2130
2131 - JMS
2132
2133 - REST (synchronous and asynchronous), additionally as
2134 client or server
2135
2136 - Event Requestor, allows events to be looped back into
2137 APEX
2138
2139 .. container:: paragraph
2140
2141 New carrier technologies can be added as plugins to APEX or
2142 developed outside APEX and added to an APEX deployment.

2550
2551 .. container:: paragraph
2552
2553 APEX supports the Java Messaging Service (JMS) as input
2554 as well as output. JMS IO is supported by the APEX JMS
2555 plugin. Input and output support an event encoding as
2556 text (JSON string) or object (serialized object). The
2557 input configuration is the same for both encodings, the
2558 output configuration differs.

2692Websocket (WS) IO
2693########################
2694
2695 .. container:: paragraph
2696
2697 APEX supports the Websockets as input as well as output.
2698 WS IO is supported by the APEX Websocket plugin. This
2699 carrier technology does only support uni-directional
2700 communication. APEX will not send events to a Websocket
2701 input and any event sent to a Websocket output will
2702 result in an error log.
2703
2704 .. container:: paragraph
2705
2706 The input can be configured as client (APEX connects to
2707 an existing Websocket server) or server (APEX starts a
2708 Websocket server). The same applies to the output. Input
2709 and output can both use a client or a server
2710 configuration, or separate configurations (input as
2711 client and output as server, input as server and output
2712 as client). Each configuration should use its own
2713 dedicated port to avoid any communication loops. The
2714 configuration of a Websocket client is the same for input
2715 and output. The configuration of a Websocket server is
2716 the same for input and output.
2717

2810 APEX will do an HTTP GET, take the result, and then do
2811 the next GET. Any required timing needs to be handled
2812 by the server configured via the URL. For instance,
2813 the server could support a wait timeout via the URL as

2879 .. container:: paragraph
2880
2881 APEX supports a REST server for input and output.
2882
2883 .. container:: paragraph
2884
2885 The REST server plugin always uses a synchronous mode. A
2886 client does a HTTP GET on the APEX REST server with the
2887 input event and receives the generated output event in
2888 the server reply. This means that for the REST server
2889 there has to always to be an input with an associated
2890 output. Input or output only are not permitted.
2891
2892 .. container:: paragraph
2893
2894 The plugin will start a Grizzly server as REST server for
2895 a normal APEX engine. If the APEX engine is executed as a
2896 servlet, for instance inside Tomcat, then Tomcat will be
2897 used as REST server (this case requires configuration on
2898 Tomcat as well).
2899
2900 .. container:: paragraph
2901
2902 Some configuration restrictions apply for all scenarios:
2903
2904 .. container:: ulist
2905
2906 - Minimum port: 1024
2907
2908 - Maximum port: 65535
2909
2910 - The media type is ``application/json``, so this plugin
2911 does only work with the JSON Event protocol.
2912
2913 .. container:: paragraph
2914
2915 The URL the client calls is created using
2916
2917 .. container:: ulist
2918
2919 - the configured host and port, e.g.
2920 ``http://localhost:12345``
2921
2922 - the standard path, e.g. ``/apex/``
2923
2924 - the name of the input/output, e.g. ``FirstConsumer/``
2925
2926 - the input or output name, e.g. ``EventIn``.
2927
2928 .. container:: paragraph
2929
2930 The examples above lead to the URL
2931 ``http://localhost:12345/apex/FirstConsumer/EventIn``.
2932
2933 .. container:: paragraph
2934
2935 A client can also get status information of the REST
2936 server using ``/Status``, e.g.
2937 ``http://localhost:12345/apex/FirstConsumer/Status``.

2941
2942 .. container:: paragraph
2943
2944 We need to configure a REST server input and a REST
2945 server output. Input and output are associated with
2946 each other via there name.
2947
2948 .. container:: paragraph
2949
2950 Timeouts for REST calls need to be set carefully. If
2951 they are too short, the call might timeout before a
2952 policy finished creating an event.
2953
2954 .. container:: paragraph
2955
2956 The following example configures the input named as
2957 ``MyConsumer`` and associates an output named
2958 ``MyProducer`` with it.

3009 The following example configures the output named as
3010 ``MyProducer`` and associates the input ``MyConsumer``
3011 with it. Note that for the output there are no more
3012 paramters (such as host or port), since they are
3013 already configured in the associated input

3036
3037REST Server Stand-alone, multi input
3038====================================
3039
3040 .. container:: paragraph
3041
3042 Any number of input/output pairs for REST servers can
3043 be configured. For instance, we can configure an input
3044 ``FirstConsumer`` with output ``FirstProducer`` and an
3045 input ``SecondConsumer`` with output
3046 ``SecondProducer``. Important is that there is always
3047 one pair of input/output.
3048
3049REST Server Stand-alone in Servlet
3050==================================
3051
3052 .. container:: paragraph
3053
3054 If APEX is executed as a servlet, e.g. inside Tomcat,
3055 the configuration becomes easier since the plugin can
3056 now use Tomcat as the REST server. In this scenario,
3057 there are not parameters (port, host, etc.) and the
3058 key ``standalone`` must not be used (or set to false).
3059
3060 .. container:: paragraph
3061
3062 For the Tomcat configuration, we need to add the REST
3063 server plugin, e.g.
3064
3065 .. container:: listingblock
3066
3067 .. container:: content
3068
3069 .. code::
3070

3080REST Requestor IO
3081##################
3082
3083 .. container:: paragraph
3084
3085 APEX can act as REST requestor on the input as well as on
3086 the output interface. The media type is
3087 ``application/json``, so this plugin does only work with
3088 the JSON Event protocol.
3089

3209Event Protocols, Format and Encoding
3210------------------------------------
3211
3212 .. container:: paragraph
3213
3214 Event protocols define what event formats APEX can receive
3215 (input) and should send (output). They can be used in any
3216 combination for input and output, unless further restricted
3217 by a carrier technology plugin (for instance for JMS
3218 output). There can only be 1 event protocol per event
3219 plugin.
3220
3221 .. container:: paragraph
3222
3223 Supported *input* event protocols are:
3224
3225 .. container:: ulist
3226
3227 - JSON, the event as a JSON string
3228
3229 - APEX, an APEX event
3230
3231 - JMS object, the event as a JMS object,
3232
3233 - JMS text, the event as a JMS text,
3234
3235 - XML, the event as an XML string,
3236
3237 - YAML, the event as YAML text
3238
3239 .. container:: paragraph
3240
3241 Supported *output* event protocols are:
3242
3243 .. container:: ulist
3244
3245 - JSON, the event as a JSON string
3246
3247 - APEX, an APEX event
3248
3249 - JMS object, the event as a JMS object,
3250
3251 - JMS text, the event as a JMS text,
3252
3253 - XML, the event as an XML string,
3254
3255 - YAML, the event as YAML text
3256
3257 .. container:: paragraph
3258
3259 New event protocols can be added as plugins to APEX or
3260 developed outside APEX and added to an APEX deployment.
3261
3262JSON Event
3263##########
3264
3265 .. container:: paragraph
3266
3267 The event protocol for JSON encoding does not require a
3268 specific plugin, it is supported by default. Furthermore,
3269 there is no difference in the configuration for the input
3270 and output interface.
3271
3272 .. container:: paragraph
3273
3274 For an input, APEX requires a well-formed JSON string.
3275 Well-formed here means according to the definitions of a
3276 policy. Any JSON string that is not defined as a trigger
3277 event (consume) will not be consumed (errors will be
3278 thrown). For output JSON events, APEX will always produce
3279 valid JSON strings according to the definition in the
3280 policy model.
3281
3282 .. container:: paragraph
3283
3284 The following JSON shows the configuration.
3285
3286 .. container:: listingblock
3287
3288 .. container:: content
3289
3290 .. code::
3291
3292 "eventProtocolParameters":{
3293 "eventProtocol" : "JSON"
3294 }
3295
3296 .. container:: paragraph
3297
3298 For JSON events, there are a few more optional
3299 parameters, which allow to define a mapping for standard
3300 event fields. An APEX event must have the fields
3301 ``name``, ``version``, ``source``, and ``target``
3302 defined. Sometimes it is not possible to configure a
3303 trigger or actioning system to use those fields. However,
3304 they might be in an event generated outside APEX (or used
3305 outside APEX) just with different names. To configure
3306 APEX to map between the different event names, simply add
3307 the following parameters to a JSON event:
3308
3309 .. container:: listingblock
3310
3311 .. container:: content

3376#########
3377
3378 .. container:: paragraph
3379
3380 The event protocol for JMS is provided by the APEX JMS
3381 plugin. The plugin supports encoding as JSON text or as

3415 If used as input, APEX will will take a JMS message,
3416 extract a Java Bean from the ``ObjectMessage``
3417 message, construct an APEX event and put the bean on
3418 the APEX event as a parameter. If used as output, APEX
3419 will take the event produced by a policy, create a
3420 Java Bean and send it as a JMS message.

3607Engine and Applications of the APEX System
3608^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3609
3610Introduction to APEX Engine and Applications
3611--------------------------------------------
3612
3613 .. container:: paragraph
3614
3615 The core of APEX is the APEX Engine, also known as the APEX
3616 Policy Engine or the APEX PDP (since it is in fact a Policy
3617 Decision Point). Beside this engine, an APEX system comes
3618 with a few applications intended to help with policy
3619 authoring, deployment, and execution.
3620
3621 .. container:: paragraph
3622
3623 The engine itself and most applications are started from the
3624 command line with command line arguments. This is called a
3625 Command Line Interface (CLI). Some applications require an
3626 installation on a webserver, as for instance the REST
3627 Editor. Those applications can be accessed via a web
3628 browser.
3629
3630 .. container:: paragraph
3631
3632 You can also use the available APEX APIs and applications to
3633 develop other applications as required. This includes policy
3634 languages (and associated parsers and compilers /
3635 interpreters), GUIs to access APEX or to define policies,
3636 clients to connect to APEX, etc.
3637
3638 .. container:: paragraph
3639
3640 For this documentation, we assume an installation of APEX as
3641 a full system based on a current ONAP release.
3642
3643CLI on Unix, Windows, and Cygwin
3644--------------------------------
3645
3646 .. container:: paragraph
3647
3648 A note on APEX CLI applications: all applications and the
3649 engine itself have been deployed and tested on different
3650 operating systems: Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, Mac OSX,
3651 Windows, Cygwin. Each operating system comes with its own
3652 way of configuring and executing Java. The main items here
3653 are:
3654
3655 .. container:: ulist
3656
3657 - For UNIX systems (RHL, Ubuntu, Debian, Mac OSX), the
3658 provided bash scripts work as expected with absolute
3659 paths (e.g.
3660 ``/opt/app/policy/apex-pdp/apex-pdp-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/examples``),
3661 indirect and linked paths (e.g. ``../apex/apex``), and
3662 path substitutions using environment settings (e.g.
3663 ``$APEX_HOME/bin/``)
3664
3665 - For Windows systems, the provided batch files (``.bat``)
3666 work as expected with with absolute paths (e.g.
3667 ``C:\apex\apex-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT\examples``), and path
3668 substitutions using environment settings (e.g.
3669 ``%APEX_HOME%\bin\``)
3670
3671 - For Cygwin system we assume a standard Cygwin
3672 installation with standard tools (mainly bash) using a
3673 Windows Java installation. This means that the bash
3674 scripts can be used as in UNIX, however any argument
3675 pointing to files and directories need to use either a
3676 DOS path (e.g.
3677 ``C:\apex\apex-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT\examples\config...``) or
3678 the command ``cygpath`` with a mixed option. The reason
3679 for that is: Cygwin executes Java using UNIX paths but
3680 then runs Java as a DOS/WINDOWS process, which requires
3681 DOS paths for file access.
3682
3683The APEX Engine
3684---------------
3685
3686 .. container:: paragraph
3687
3688 The APEX engine can be started in different ways, depending
3689 your requirements. All scripts are located in the APEX *bin*
3690 directory
3691
3692 .. container:: paragraph
3693
3694 On UNIX and Cygwin systems use:
3695
3696 .. container:: ulist
3697
3698 - ``apexEngine.sh`` - this script will
3699
3700 .. container:: ulist
3701
3702 - Test if ``$APEX_USER`` is set and if the user
3703 exists, terminate with an error otherwise
3704
3705 - Test if ``$APEX_HOME`` is set. If not set, it will
3706 use the default setting as
3707 ``/opt/app/policy/apex-pdp/apex-pdp``. Then the set
3708 directory is tested to exist, the script will
3709 terminate if not.
3710
3711 - When all tests are passed successfully, the script
3712 will call ``apexApps.sh`` with arguments to start
3713 the APEX engine.
3714
3715 - ``apexApps.sh engine`` - this is the general APEX
3716 application launcher, which will
3717
3718 .. container:: ulist
3719
3720 - Start the engine with the argument ``engine``
3721
3722 - Test if ``$APEX_HOME`` is set and points to an
3723 existing directory. If not set or directory does
3724 not exist, script terminates.
3725
3726 - Not test for any settings of ``$APEX_USER``.
3727
3728 .. container:: paragraph
3729
3730 On Windows systems use ``apexEngine.bat`` and
3731 ``apexApps.bat engine`` respectively. Note: none of the
3732 windows batch files will test for ``%APEX_USER%``.

3755 The APEX engine comes with a few CLI arguments for setting
3756 configuration and policy model. The configuration file is
3757 always required. The policy model file is only required if
3758 no model file is specified in the configuration, or if the
3759 specified model file should be over written. The option
3760 ``-h`` prints a help screen.

3777The APEX CLI Editor
3778-------------------
3779
3780 .. container:: paragraph
3781
3782 The CLI Editor allows to define policies from the command
3783 line. The application uses a simple language and supports
3784 all elements of an APEX policy. It can be used in to
3785 different ways:
3786
3787 .. container:: ulist
3788
3789 - non-interactive, specifying a file with the commands to
3790 create a policy
3791
3792 - interactive, using the editors CLI to create a policy
3793
3794 .. container:: paragraph
3795
3796 When a policy is fully specified, the editor will generate
3797 the APEX core policy specification in JSON. This core
3798 specification is called the policy model in the APEX engine
3799 and can be used directly with the APEX engine.

4549Introduction
4550------------
4551 .. container:: paragraph
4552
4553 Consider a scenario where a supermarket chain called
4554 *HyperM* controls how it sells items in a policy-based
4555 manner. Each time an item is processed by *HyperM*'s
4556 point-of-sale (PoS) system an event is generated and
4557 published about that item of stock being sold. This event
4558 can then be used to update stock levels, etc..
4559
4560 .. container:: paragraph
4561
4562 *HyperM* want to extend this approach to allow some checks
4563 to be performed before the sale can be completed. This can
4564 be achieved by requesting a policy-controlled decision as
4565 each item is processed by for sale by each PoS system. The
4566 decision process is integrated with *HyperM*'s other IT
4567 systems that manage stock control, sourcing and purchasing,
4568 personnel systems, etc.
4569
4570 .. container:: paragraph
4571
4572 In this document we will show how APEX and APEX Policies can
4573 be used to achieve this, starting with a simple policy,
4574 building up to more complicated policy that demonstrates the
4575 features of APEX.

4580Sales Input Event
4581#################
4582
4583 .. container:: paragraph
4584
4585 Each time a PoS system processes a sales item an event
4586 with the following format is emitted:
4587
4588 .. table:: Table 1. Sale Input Event
4589
4590 +----------------------+----------------------+-----------------------+
4591 | Event | Fields | Description |
4592 +======================+======================+=======================+
4593 | SALE_INPUT | time, sale_ID, | Event indicating a |
4594 | | amount, item_ID, | sale of an item is |
4595 | | quantity, | occurring |
4596 | | assistant_ID, | |
4597 | | branch_ID, notes, …​ | |
4598 +----------------------+----------------------+-----------------------+
4599
4600 .. container:: paragraph
4601
4602 In each ``SALE_INPUT`` event the ``sale_ID`` field is a
4603 unique ID generated by the PoS system. A timestamp for
4604 the event is stored in the ``time`` field. The ``amount``
4605 field refers to the value of the item(s) to be sold (in
4606 cents). The ``item_ID`` field is a unique identifier for
4607 each item type, and can be used to retrieve more
4608 information about the item from *HyperM*'s stock control
4609 system. The ``quantity`` field refers to the quantity of
4610 the item to be sold. The ``assistant_ID`` field is a
4611 unique identifier for the PoS operator, and can be used
4612 to retrieve more information about the operator from the
4613 *HyperM*'s personnel system. Since *HyperM* has many
4614 branches the ``branch_ID`` identifies the shop. The
4615 ``notes`` field contains arbitrary notes about the sale.
4616
4617Sales Decision Event
4618####################
4619
4620 .. container:: paragraph
4621
4622 After a ``SALE_INPUT`` event is emitted by the PoS system
4623 *HyperM*'s policy-based controlled sales checking system
4624 emits a Sale Authorization Event indicating whether the
4625 sale is authorized or denied. The PoS system can then
4626 listen for this event before continuing with the sale.

4639 +----------------------+----------------------+-----------------------+
4640
4641 .. container:: paragraph
4642
4643 In each ``SALE_AUTH`` event the ``sale_ID`` field is
4644 copied from the ``SALE_INPUT`` event that trigger the
4645 decision request. The ``SALE_AUTH`` event is also
4646 timestamped using the ``time`` field, and a field called
4647 ``authorised`` is set to ``true`` or ``false`` depending
4648 on whether the sale is authorized or denied. The
4649 ``message`` field carries an optional message about why a
4650 sale was not authorized. The other fields from the
4651 ``SALE_INPUT`` event are also included for completeness.

4675 The database table ``ITEMS`` has a row for each items
4676 that *HyperM* sells. Each item is identified by an
4677 ``item_ID`` value. The ``description`` field stores a
4678 description of the item. The cost price of the item is
4679 given in ``cost_price``. The barcode of the item is
4680 encoded in ``barcode``, while the item supplier is
4681 identified by ``supplier_ID``. Items may also be
4682 classified into categories using the ``category`` field.
4683 Useful categories might include: ``soft drinks``,
4684 ``alcoholic drinks``, ``cigarettes``, ``knives``,
4685 ``confectionery``, ``bakery``, ``fruit&vegetables``,
4686 ``meat``, etc..

4732 *HyperM* operates a number of branches. Each branch is
4733 described in the ``BRANCHES`` database table. Each branch
4734 is identified by a ``branch_ID``, with a branch name
4735 given in ``branch_Name``. The address for the branch is
4736 encoded in ``street``, ``city``, ``country`` and
4737 ``postcode``. The branch category is given in the
4738 ``category`` field. Useful values for ``category`` might
4739 include: ``Small``, ``Large``, ``Super``, ``Hyper``,
4740 etc..

4747 .. container:: paragraph
4748
4749 For the first version of our policy, let’s start with
4750 something simple. Let us assume that there exists some
4751 restriction that alcohol products cannot be sold before
4752 11:30am. In this section we will go through the necessary
4753 steps to define a policy that can enforce this for
4754 *HyperM*.
4755
4756 .. container:: ulist
4757
4758 - Alcohol cannot be sold before 11:30am.
4759
4760Create the an new empty Policy Model ``MyFirstPolicyModel``
4761###########################################################
4762
4763 .. container:: paragraph
4764
4765 Since an organisation like *HyperM* may have many
4766 policies covering many different domains, policies should
4767 be grouped into policy sets. In order to edit or deploy a
4768 policy, or policy set, the definition of the policy(ies)
4769 and all required events, tasks, states, etc., are grouped
4770 together into a 'Policy Model'. An organization might
4771 define many Policy Models, each containing a different
4772 set of policies.
4773
4774 .. container:: paragraph
4775
4776 So the first step is to create a new empty Policy Model
4777 called ``MyFirstPolicyModel``. Using the APEX Policy
4778 Editor, click on the 'File' menus and select 'New'. Then
4779 define our new policy model called
4780 ``MyFirstPolicyModel``. Use the 'Generate UUID' button to
4781 create a new unique ID for the policy model, and fill in
4782 a description for the policy model. Press the ``Submit``
4783 button to save your changes.

4827 event type, and fill in a description for the event. Add
4828 a namespace, e.g. ``com.hyperm``. We can add hard-coded
4829 strings for the ``Source`` and ``Target``, e.g. ``POS``
4830 and ``APEX``. At this stage we will not add any parameter
4831 fields, we will leave this until later. Use the

4952 APEX natively supports schema definitions in ``Java`` and ``Avro``.
4953
4954 .. container:: paragraph
4955
4956 ``Java`` schema definitions are simply the name of a Java Class. There are some restrictions:
4957
4958 .. container:: ulist
4959
4960 - the class must be instantiatable, i.e. not an Java interface or abstract class
4961
4962 - primitive types are not supported, i.e. use ``java.lang.Integer`` instead of ``int``, etc.
4963
4964 - it must be possible to find the class, i.e. the class must be contained in the Java classpath.
4965
4966 .. container:: paragraph
4967
4968 ``Avro`` schema definitions can be any valid `Avro <https://avro.apache.org/docs/current/spec.html>`__
4969 schema. For events using fields defined with ``Avro`` schemas, any incoming event containing that field must
4970 contain a value that conforms to the Avro schema.

5064
5065 .. container:: paragraph
5066
5067 APEX policies are defined using a state-machine model.
5068 Each policy comprises one or more *states* that can be
5069 individually executed. Where there is more than one
5070 *state* the states are chained together to form a
5071 `Directed Acyclic Graph
5072 (DAG) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph>`__
5073 of states. A *state* is triggered by passing it a single
5074 input (or 'trigger') event and once executed each state
5075 then emits an output event. For each *state* the logic
5076 for the *state* is embedded in one or more *tasks*. Each
5077 *task* contains specific *task logic* that is executed by
5078 the APEX execution environment each time the *task* is
5079 invoked. Where there is more than one *task* in a *state*
5080 then the *state* also defines some *task selection logic*
5081 to select an appropriate task each time the *state* is
5082 executed.
5083
5084 .. container:: paragraph
5085
5086 Therefore, to create a new policy we must first define
5087 one or more tasks.

5091 To create a new Task click on the 'Tasks' tab. In the

5109 Tasks are configured with a set of *input fields* and a

5111 for a task use the 'Add Task Input Field' and 'Add Task
5112 Output Field' button. The list of input and out fields to

5114 The input fields are drawn from the parameters in the
5115 state’s input event, and the task’s output fields are
5116 used to populate the state’s output event. The task’s
5117 input and output fields must be a subset of the event
5118 parameters defined for the input and output events for
5119 any state that uses that task. (You may have noticed that
5120 the input and output fields for the ``MorningBoozeCheck``
5121 task have the exact same names and reuse the item schemas
5122 that we used for the parameters in the ``SALE_INPUT`` and
5123 ``SALE_AUTH`` events respectively).

5185 Each task must include some 'Task Logic' that implements
5186 the behaviour for the task. Task logic can be defined in
5187 a number of different ways using a choice of languages.
5188 For this task we will author the logic using the
5189 Java-like scripting language called
5190 ```MVEL`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVEL>`__.
5191
5192 .. container:: paragraph
5193
5194 For simplicity use the following code for the task logic.
5195 Paste the script text into the 'Task Logic' box, and use
5196 "MVEL" as the 'Task Logic Type / Flavour'.
5197
5198 .. container:: paragraph
5199
5200 This logic assumes that all items with ``item_ID``
5201 between 1000 and 2000 contain alcohol, which is not very
5202 realistic, but we will see a better approach for this
5203 later. It also uses the standard ``Java`` time utilities
5204 to check if the current time is between ``00:00:00 GMT``
5205 and ``11:30:00 GMT``. For a detailed guide to how to
5206 write your own logic in
5207 ```JavaScript`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>`__,
5208 ```MVEL`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVEL>`__ or one

5431

5433
5434 Each policy must have at least one state. Since this is
5435 'freeform' policy we can add as many states as we wish.
5436 Let’s start with one state. Add a new state called
5437 ``BoozeAuthDecide`` to this ``MyFirstPolicy`` policy
5438 using the 'Add new State' button after filling in the
5439 name of our new state.

5457
5458 Each policy must define a 'First State' and a 'Policy

5460 event for the policy as a whole. This event is then
5461 passed to the first state in the chain of states in the
5462 policy, therefore the 'Policy Trigger Event' will be the
5463 input event for the first state. Each policy can only
5464 have one 'First State'. For our ``MyFirstPolicy`` policy,
5465 select ``BoozeAuthDecide`` as the 'First State'. This
5466 will automatically select ``SALE_INPUT`` as the 'Policy
5467 Trigger Event' for our policy.

5488
5489 in the case where a state references more than one task,
5490 a 'Default Task' must be selected for the state and some
5491 logic ('Task Selection Logic') must be specified to
5492 select the appropriate task at execution time. Since our
5493 new state ``BoozeAuthDecide`` only has one task the
5494 default task is automatically selected and no 'Task
5495 Selection Logic' is required.

5500 State Output Mappings
5501
5502 .. container:: paragraph
5503
5504 In a 'Policy' 'State' a 'State Output Mapping' has 3 roles:
5505 1) Select which 'State' should be executed next, 2) Select
5506 the type of the state’s 'Outgoing Event', and 3)
5507 Populate the state’s 'Outgoing Event'. This is how states are
5508 chained together to form a (`Directed Acyclic Graph
5509 (DAG) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph>`__ )
5510 of states. The final state(s) of a policy are those that do
5511 not select any 'next' state. Since a 'State' can only
5512 accept a single type of event, the type of the event emitted
5513 by a previous 'State' must be match the incoming event type
5514 of the next 'State'. This is also how the last state(s) in
5515 a policy can emit events of different types. The 'State
5516 Output Mapping' is also responsible for taking the
5517 fields that are output by the task executed in the state and
5518 populating the state’s output event before it is emitted.
5519
5520 .. container:: paragraph
5521
5522 Each 'Task' referenced in 'State' must have a defined
5523 'Output Mapping' to take the output of the task, select an
5524 'Outgoing Event' type for the state, populate the state’s
5525 outgoing event, and then select the next state to be
5526 executed (if any).
5527
5528 .. container:: paragraph
5529
5530 There are 2 basic types of output mappings:
5531
5532 .. container:: olist arabic
5533
5534 #. **Direct Output Mappings** have a single value for
5535 'Next State' and a single value for 'State Output
5536 Event'. The outgoing event for the state is
5537 automatically created, any outgoing event parameters
5538 that were present in the incoming event are copied
5539 into the outgoing event, then any task output fields
5540 that have the same name and type as parameters in the
5541 outgoing event are automatically copied into
5542 the outgoing event.
5543
5544 #. **Logic-based State Output Mappings / Finalizers**
5545 have some logic defined that dynamically selects
5546 and creates the 'State Outgoing Event', manages
5547 the population of the outgoing event parameters
5548 (perhaps changing or adding to the outputs from the
5549 task), and then dynamically selects the next state to
5550 be executed (if any).
5551
5552 .. container:: paragraph
5553
5554 Each task reference must also have an associated 'Output
5555 State Mapping' so we need an 'Output State Mapping' for
5556 the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state to use when the
5557 ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task is executed. The simplest type
5558 of output mapping is a 'Direct Output Mapping'.
5559
5560 .. container:: paragraph
5561
5562 Create a new 'Direct Output Mapping' for the state called
5563 ``MorningBoozeCheck_Output_Direct`` using the 'Add New
5564 Direct State Output Mapping' button. Select ``SALE_AUTH``
5565 as the output event and select ``None`` for the next
5566 state value. We can then select this output mapping for
5567 use when the the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task is executed.
5568 Since there is only state, and only one task for that
5569 state, this output mapping ensures that the
5570 ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state is the only state executed and
5571 the state (and the policy) can only emit events of type
5572 ``SALE_AUTH``. (You may remember that the output fields
5573 for the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task have the exact same
5574 names and reuse the item schemas that we used for the
5575 parameters in ``SALE_AUTH`` event. The
5576 ``MorningBoozeCheck_Output_Direct`` direct output mapping
5577 can now automatically copy the values from the
5578 ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task directly into outgoing
5579 ``SALE_AUTH`` events.)

5650 To start a new APEX Engine you can use the following
5651 configuration. In a full APEX installation you can find
5652 this configuration in
5653 ``$APEX_HOME/examples/config/MyFirstPolicy/1/MyFirstPolicyConfigStdin2StdoutJsonEvent.json``.
5654 This configuration expects incoming events to be in
5655 ``JSON`` format and to be passed into the APEX Engine
5656 from ``stdin``, and result events will be printed in
5657 ``JSON`` format to ``stdout``. This configuration loads
5658 the policy model stored in the file
5659 'MyFirstPolicyModel_0.0.1.json' as exported from the APEX
5660 Editor. Note, you may need to edit this file to provide
5661 the full path to wherever you stored the exported policy
5662 model file.

6028
6029 *HyperM* have just opened a new branch in a different
6030 country, but that country has different rules about when
6031 alcohol can be sold! In this section we will go through
6032 the necessary steps to extend our policy to enforce this
6033 for *HyperM*.
6034

6037 - In some branches alcohol cannot be sold before 1pm,
6038 and not at all on Sundays.

6042 Although there are a number of ways to accomplish this
6043 the easiest approach for us is to define another task and
6044 then select which task is appropriate at runtime
6045 depending on the branch identifier in the incoming event.

6113 This task also requires some 'Task Logic' to implement
6114 the new behaviour for this task.
6115
6116 .. container:: paragraph
6117
6118 For simplicity use the following code for the task logic.
6119 It again assumes that all items with ``item_ID`` between
6120 1000 and 2000 contain alcohol. We again use the standard
6121 ``Java`` time utilities to check if the current time is
6122 between ``00:00:00 CET`` and ``13:00:00 CET`` or if it is
6123 ``Sunday``.
6124
6125 .. container:: paragraph
6126
6127 For this task we will again author the logic using the
6128 ```MVEL`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVEL>`__
6129 scripting language. Sample task logic code (specified in
6130 ```MVEL`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVEL>`__) is
6131 given below. For a detailed guide to how to write your
6132 own logic in
6133 ```JavaScript`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>`__,
6134 ```MVEL`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVEL>`__ or one
6135 of the other supported languages please refer to APEX

6243 The task definition is now complete so click the 'Submit'
6244 button to save the task. Now that we have created our
6245 task, we can can add this task to the single pre-existing
6246 state (``BoozeAuthDecide``) in our policy.

6250 To edit the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state in our policy click
6251 on the 'Policies' tab. In the 'Policies' pane, right
6252 click on our ``MyFirstPolicy`` policy and select 'Edit'.
6253 Navigate to the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state in the 'states'
6254 section at the bottom of the policy definition pane.

6268 To add our new task ``MorningBoozeCheckAlt1``, scroll
6269 down to the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state in the 'States'
6270 section. In the 'State Tasks' section for
6271 ``BoozeAuthDecide`` use the 'Add new task' button. Select
6272 our new ``MorningBoozeCheckAlt1`` task, and use the name
6273 of the task as the 'Local Name' for the task. The
6274 ``MorningBoozeCheckAlt1`` task can reuse the same
6275 ``MorningBoozeCheck_Output_Direct`` 'Direct State Output
6276 Mapping' that we used for the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task.
6277 (Recall that the role of the 'State Output Mapping' is to
6278 select the output event for the state, and select the
6279 next state to be executed. These both remain the same as
6280 before.)
6281
6282 .. container:: paragraph
6283
6284 Since our state has more than one task we must define
6285 some logic to determine which task should be used each
6286 time the state is executed. This *task selection logic*
6287 is defined in the state definition. For our
6288 ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state we want the choice of which
6289 task to use to be based on the ``branch_ID`` from which
6290 the ``SALE_INPUT`` event originated. For simplicity sake
6291 let us assume that branches with ``branch_ID`` between
6292 ``0`` and ``999`` should use the ``MorningBoozeCheck``
6293 task, and the branches with with ``branch_ID`` between
6294 ``1000`` and ``1999`` should use the
6295 ``MorningBoozeCheckAlt1`` task.
6296
6297 .. container:: paragraph
6298
6299 This time, for variety, we will author the task selection
6300 logic using the
6301 ```JavaScript`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>`__
6302 scripting language. Sample task selection logic code
6303 (specified in
6304 ```JavaScript`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>`__)
6305 is given below. Paste the script text into the 'Task
6306 Selection Logic' box, and use "JAVASCRIPT" as the 'Task
6307 Selection Logic Type / Flavour'. It is necessary to mark
6308 one of the tasks as the 'Default Task' so that the task
6309 selection logic always has a fallback default option in
6310 cases where a particular task cannot be selected. In this
6311 case the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task can be the default
6312 task.

6405 The exported policy can now be loaded into the APEX

6414 To start a new APEX Engine you can use the following

6416 this configuration in
6417 ``$APEX_HOME/examples/config/MyFirstPolicy/2/MyFirstPolicyConfigStdin2StdoutJsonEvent.json``.
6418 Note, this has changed from the configuration file in
6419 Step 1 to enable the ``JAVASCRIPT`` executor for our new
6420 'Task Selection Logic'.

6483 To test the policy try paste the following events into
6484 the console as the APEX engine executes. Note, all tests
6485 from Step 1 will still work perfectly since none of those
6486 events originate from a branch with ``branch_ID`` between
6487 ``1000`` and ``2000``. The 'Task Selection Logic' will
6488 therefore pick the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task as
6489 expected, and will therefore give the same results.

6977 All APEX components make extensive use of logging using the
6978 logging façade `SLF4J <https://www.slf4j.org/>`__ with the
6979 backend `Logback <https://logback.qos.ch/>`__. Both are used
6980 off-the-shelve, so the standard documentation and
6981 configuration apply to APEX logging. For details on how to
6982 work with logback please see the `logback
6983 manual <https://logback.qos.ch/manual/index.html>`__.

6989 ``%APEX_HOME%\etc\logback.xml``). The logging backend is set
6990 to no debug, i.e. logs from the logging framework should be
6991 hidden at runtime.
6992
6993 .. container:: paragraph
6994
6995 The configurable log levels work as expected:
6996
6997 .. container:: ulist
6998
6999 - *error* (or *ERROR*) is used for serious errors in the
7000 APEX runtime engine
7001
7002 - *warn* (or *WARN*) is used for warnings, which in general
7003 can be ignored but might indicate some deeper problems
7004
7005 - *info* (or *INFO*) is used to provide generally
7006 interesting messages for startup and policy execution
7007
7008 - *debug* (or *DEBUG*) provides more details on startup and
7009 policy execution
7010
7011 - *trace* (or *TRACE*) gives full details on every aspect
7012 of the APEX engine from start to end
7013
7014 .. container:: paragraph
7015
7016 The loggers can also be configured as expected. The standard
7017 configuration (after installing APEX) uses log level *info*
7018 on all APEX classes (components).
7019
7020 .. container:: paragraph
7021
7022 The applications and scripts in ``$APEX_HOME/bin`` (Windows:
7023 ``%APEX_HOME\bin``) are configured to use the logback
7024 configuration ``$APEX_HOME/etc/logback.xml`` (Windows:
7025 ``%APEX_HOME\etc\logback.xml``). There are multiple ways to
7026 use different logback configurations, for instance:
7027
7028 .. container:: ulist
7029
7030 - Maintain multiple configurations in ``etc``, for instance
7031 a ``logback-debug.xml`` for deep debugging and a
7032 ``logback-production.xml`` for APEX in production mode,
7033 then copy the required configuration file to the used
7034 ``logback.xml`` prior starting APEX
7035
7036 - Edit the scripts in ``bin`` to use a different logback
7037 configuration file (only recommended if you are familiar
7038 with editing bash scripts or windows batch files)
7039
7040Standard Logging Configuration
7041------------------------------
7042
7043 .. container:: paragraph
7044
7045 The standard logging configuration defines a context *APEX*,
7046 which is used in the standard output pattern. The location
7047 for log files is defined in the property ``VAR_LOG`` and set
7048 to ``/var/log/onap/policy/apex-pdp``. The standard status
7049 listener is set to *NOP* and the overall logback
7050 configuration is set to no debug.

7068

7071 The first appender defined is called ``STDOUT`` for logs to standard

7086
7087.. container:: paragraph
7088
7089 The root level logger then is set to the level *info* using the
7090 standard out appender.

7142
7143 The last definitions are for specific loggers. The first logger
7144 captures all standard APEX classes. It is configured for log level
7145 *info* and uses the standard output and file appenders. The second
7146 logger captures APEX context classes responsible for context
7147 monitoring. It is configured for log level *trace* and uses the
7148 context file appender.

7167Adding Logback Status and Debug
7168-------------------------------
7169
7170 .. container:: paragraph
7171
7172 To activate logback status messages change the status listener
7173 from 'NOP' to for instance console.

7184
7185 To activate all logback debugging, for instance to debug a new
7186 logback configuration, activate the debug attribute in the
7187 configuration.
7188
7189 .. container:: listingblock

7198
7199Logging External Components
7200---------------------------
7201
7202 .. container:: paragraph
7203
7204 Logback can also be configured to log any other, external
7205 components APEX is using, if they are using the common logging
7206 framework.
7207
7208 .. container:: paragraph
7209
7210 For instance, the context component of APEX is using *Infinispan*
7211 and one can add a logger for this external component. The
7212 following example adds a logger for *Infinispan* using the
7213 standard output appender.
7214
7215 .. container:: listingblock
7216
7217 .. container:: content
7218
7219 .. code::
7220

7222 <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
7223 </logger>
7224
7225 .. container:: paragraph
7226
7227 Another example is Apache Zookeeper. The following example adds a
7228 logger for Zookeeper using the standard outout appender.
7229
7230 .. container:: listingblock
7231

7238 </logger>
7239
7240Configuring loggers for Policy Logic
7241------------------------------------
7242
7243 .. container:: paragraph
7244
7245 The logging for the logic inside a policy (task logic, task
7246 selection logic, state finalizer logic) can be configured separate
7247 from standard logging. The logger for policy logic is
7248 ``org.onap.policy.apex.executionlogging``. The following example
7249 defines
7250
7251 .. container:: ulist
7252
7253 - a new appender for standard out using a very simple pattern
7254 (simply the actual message)
7255
7256 - a logger for policy logic to standard out using the new
7257 appender and the already described file appender.
7258
7259 .. container:: listingblock
7260
7261 .. container:: content
7262
7263 .. code::
7264
7265 <appender name="POLICY_APPENDER_STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
7266 <encoder>
7267 <pattern>policy: %msg\n</pattern>
7268 </encoder>
7269 </appender>
7270
7271 <logger name="org.onap.policy.apex.executionlogging" level="info" additivity="false">
7272 <appender-ref ref="POLICY_APPENDER_STDOUT" />
7273 <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
7274 </logger>
7275
7276 .. container:: paragraph
7277
7278 It is also possible to use specific logging for parts of policy
7279 logic. The following example defines a logger for task logic.
7280
7281 .. container:: listingblock
7282
7283 .. container:: content
7284
7285 .. code::

7289 </logger>
7290
7291Rolling File Appenders
7292----------------------
7293
7294 .. container:: paragraph
7295
7296 Rolling file appenders are a good option for more complex logging
7297 of a production or complex testing APEX installation. The standard
7298 logback configuration can be used for these use cases. This
7299 section gives two examples for the standard logging and for
7300 context logging.
7301
7302 .. container:: paragraph
7303
7304 First the standard logging. The following example defines a
7305 rolling file appender. The appender rolls over on a daily basis.
7306 It allows for a file size of 100 MB.
7307
7308 .. container:: listingblock
7309
7310 .. container:: content
7311
7312 .. code::

7331 </encoder>
7332 </appender>
7333
7334 .. container:: paragraph
7335
7336 A very similar configuration can be used for a rolling file
7337 appender logging APEX context.

7369 The following example shows a configuration that logs policy logic
7370 to standard out and a file (*info*). All other APEX components are
7371 logging to a file (*debug*).. This configuration an be used in a
7372 pre-production phase with the APEX engine still running in a
7373 separate terminal to monitor policy execution. This logback

7466Building a System with Websocket Backend
7467^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
7468
7469Websockets
7470----------
7471
7472 .. container:: paragraph
7473
7474 Websocket is a protocol to run sockets of HTTP. Since it in
7475 essence a socket, the connection is realized between a
7476 server (waiting for connections) and a client (connecting to
7477 a server). Server/client separation is only important for
7478 connection establishment, once connected, everyone can
7479 send/receive on the same socket (as any standard socket
7480 would allow).
7481
7482 .. container:: paragraph
7483
7484 Standard Websocket implementations are simple, no
7485 publish/subscribe and no special event handling. Most
7486 servers simply send all incoming messages to all
7487 connections. There is a PubSub definition on top of
7488 Websocket called `WAMP <http://wamp-proto.org/>`__. APEX
7489 does not support WAMP at the moment.
7490
7491Websocket in Java
7492-----------------
7493
7494 .. container:: paragraph
7495
7496 In Java, `JSR
7497 356 <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jsr356-1937161.html>`__
7498 defines the standard Websocket API. This JSR is part of Jave
7499 EE 7 standard. For Java SE, several implementations exist in
7500 open source. Since Websockets are a stable standard and
7501 simple, most implementations are stable and ready to use. A
7502 lot of products support Websockets, like Spring, JBoss,
7503 Netty, … there are also Kafka extensions for Websockets.
7504
7505Websocket Example Code for Websocket clients (FOSS)
7506---------------------------------------------------
7507
7508 .. container:: paragraph
7509
7510 There are a lot of implementations and examples available on
7511 Github for Websocket clients. If one is using Java EE 7,
7512 then one can also use the native Websocket implementation.
7513 Good examples for clients using simply Java SE are here:
7514
7515 .. container:: ulist
7516
7517 - `Websocket
7518 implementation <https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket>`__
7519
7520 - `Websocket sending client example, using
7521 AWT <https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/blob/master/src/main/example/ChatClient.java>`__
7522
7523 - `Websocket receiving client example (simple echo
7524 client) <https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/blob/master/src/main/example/ExampleClient.java>`__
7525
7526 .. container:: paragraph
7527
7528 For Java EE, the native Websocket API is explained here:
7529
7530 .. container:: ulist
7531
7532 - `Oracle
7533 docs <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jsr356-1937161.html>`__

7537
7538BCP: Websocket Configuration
7539----------------------------
7540
7541 .. container:: paragraph
7542
7543 The probably best is to configure APEX for Websocket servers
7544 for input (ingress, consume) and output (egress, produce)
7545 interfaces. This means that APEX will start Websocket
7546 servers on named ports and wait for clients to connect.
7547 Advantage: once APEX is running all connectivity
7548 infrastructure is running as well. Consequence: if APEX is
7549 not running, everyone else is in the dark, too.
7550
7551 .. container:: paragraph
7552
7553 The best protocol to be used is JSON string. Each event on
7554 any interface is then a string with a JSON encoding. JSON
7555 string is a little bit slower than byte code, but we doubt
7556 that this will be noticeable. A further advantage of JSON
7557 strings over Websockets with APEX starting the servers: it
7558 is very easy to connect web browsers to such a system.
7559 Simple connect the web browser to the APEX sockets and
7560 send/read JSON strings.
7561
7562 .. container:: paragraph
7563
7564 Once APEX is started you simply connect Websocket clients to
7565 it, and send/receive event. When APEX is terminated, the
7566 Websocket servers go down, and the clients will be
7567 disconnected. APEX does not (yet) support auto-client
7568 reconnect nor WAMP, so clients might need to be restarted or
7569 reconnected manually after an APEX boot.
7570

7577 package, i.e. APEX with all examples, of version ``0.5.6``
7578 or higher. We will use the VPN policy from the APEX examples
7579 here.

7583 Now, have the following ready to start the demo:
7584
7585 .. container:: ulist
7586
7587 - 3 terminals on the host where APEX is running (we need 1
7588 for APEX and 1 for each client)
7589
7590 - the events in the file
7591 ``$APEX_HOME/examples/events/VPN/SetupEvents.json`` open
7592 in an editor (we need to send those events to APEX)
7593
7594 - the events in the file
7595 ``$APEX_HOME/examples/events/VPN/Link09Events.json`` open
7596 in an editor (we need to send those events to APEX)

7934 and send the events. So copy the content of ``SetupEvents.json`` into
7935 the client. APEX will trigger a policy and produce some output, the
7936 echo client will also print some events created in the policy. In

8020 Congratulations, you have triggered a policy in APEX using
8021 Websockets, the policy did run through, created events, picked up by
8022 the echo-client.
8023
8024.. container:: paragraph
8025
8026 Now you can send the Link 09 and Link 10 events, they will trigger
8027 the actual VPN policy and some calculations are made. Let’s take the
8028 Link 09 events from ``Link09Events.json``, copy them all into
8029 Terminal 3 (the console). APEX will run the policy (with some status
8030 output), and the echo client will receive and print events.
8031
8032.. container:: paragraph
8033
8034 To terminate the applications, simply press ``CTRL+C`` in Terminal 1
8035 (APEX). This will also terminate the echo-client in Terminal 2. Then
8036 type ``exit<enter>`` in Terminal 3 (or ``CTRL+C``) to terminate the
8037 console-client.
