+Introduction
+============
+
+This zusammen library is a library which encapsulate access to Zusammen collaborative database based on cassandra.  
+
+Components
+==========
+
+The onboarding is comprised of the following deployment units:
+
+- Designer backend is the core component. It exposes RESTful APIs for managing vsp. The backend
+currently supports VNFD packages of ETSI SOL001 standard only.
+
+- Designer frontend serves static content of a Web application for creating and managing vsps, and forwards API
+requests to the backend. The static content includes JavaScript, images, CSS, etc.
+
+- Translator from Tosca SOL001 standard to Onboarding internal model is used by the designer backend.
+
+- Cassandra database is used by the designer backend as the main storage for onboarding data. A dedicated instance of
+Cassandra can be deployed, or an existing cluster may be used.
+
+- Database initialization scripts run once per deployment to create the necessary Cassandra keyspaces and tables,
+pre-populate data, etc.
+
+Execute Backend from IntelliJ
+=============================
+Create a copy of `application.properties` (located in `vnf-onboarding-backend\src\main\resources`) and name it `application-dev.properties`.
+
+In this file, populate the required properties with your Cassandra, Translation and SDC Catalog info.
+
+Run `org.onap.sdc.onboarding.SpringBootWebApplication` with the VM options: `-Dspring.profiles.active=dev`.  
+
+Deployment on Docker
+====================
+
+The procedure below describes manual deployment on plain Docker for development or a demo.
+
+## 1. Database
+
+Create a dedicated instance of Cassandra. This step is optional if you already have a Cassandra cluster.
+The designer is not expected to have problems working with Cassandra 3.x, but has been tested with 2.1.x because this
+is the version used by SDC.
+
+An easy way to spin up a Cassandra instance is using a Cassandra Docker image as described in the
+[official documentation](https://hub.docker.com/_/cassandra/).
+
+### Example
+
+`docker run -d --name onboard-cassandra cassandra:2.1`
+
+## 2. Database Initialization
+
+**WARNING**: *This step must be executed only once.*
+
+the designer requires two Cassandra namespaces:
+
+- ONBOARDING
+- ZUSAMMEN_ONBOARDING
+
+By default, these keyspaces are configured to use a simple replication strategy (`'class' : 'SimpleStrategy'`)
+and the replication factor of one (`'replication_factor' : 1`). In order to override this configuration, override
+the *create_keyspaces.cql* file at the root of the initialization container using
+[Docker volume mapping](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/). Include `IF NOT EXISTS` clause in the keyspace
+creation statements to prevent accidental data loss.
+
+`docker run -ti -e CS_HOST=<cassandra-host> -e CS_PORT=<cassandra-port> -e CS_AUTHENTICATE=true/false
+-e CS_USER=<cassandra-user> -e CS_PASSWORD=<cassandra-password> nexus3.onap.org:10001/NPO/vnf-onboard-init:latest`
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- CS_HOST &mdash; Cassandra hostname or IP address.
+
+- CS_PORT &mdash; Cassandra Thrift client port. If not specified, the default of 9160 will be used.
+
+- CS_AUTHENTICATE &mdash; whether password authentication must be used to connect to Cassandra. A *false* will be
+assumed if this variable is not specified.
+
+- CS_USER &mdash; Cassandra username if CS_AUTHENTICATE is *true*.
+
+- CS_PASSWORD &mdash; Cassandra password if CS_AUTHENTICATE is *true*.
+
+### Example
+
+Assuming you have created a dedicated Cassandra container as described in Database section, and the access to it is not
+protected with a password, the following command will initialize the database:
+
+`docker run -d --name vnf-onboard-init
+-e CS_HOST=$(docker inspect vnf-onboard-cassandra --format={{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}})
+nexus3.onap.org:10001/onap/vnf-onboard-init:latest`
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+In order to see if the the designer was successfully initialized, make sure the console does not contain error
+messages. You can also see the logs of the initialization container using `docker logs vnf-onboard-init` command.
+## 3. Translation
+
+`docker run -d --name vnfd-sol001-translation -p 8080:8080 npo/vnfd-sol001-translation:latest`
+
+## 4. Backend
+
+`docker run -d --name vnf-onboard-backend

+### Environment Variables
+
+- SERVER_SSL_ENABLED &mdash; whether ssl authentication must be used to connect to application. A *false* will be

+
+- CS_PORT &mdash; CQL native client port. If not specified, the default of 9042 will be used.

+npo/vnf-onboard-backend:latest`
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+In order to verify that the backend has started successfully, check the logs of the
+backend container. For example, by running `docker logs vnf-onboard-backend`. The logs must not contain any
+error messages.
+
+Application logs are located in the */var/log/... directory of a backend
+container. For example, you can view the audit log by running
+`docker exec -ti vnf-onboard-backend less /var/log/npo/vnf-onboard-backend/backend/audit.log`.
+
+## 5. Frontend
+
+`docker run -d -e BACKEND=http://<backend-host>:<backend-port> -e JAVA_OPTIONS=<jvm-options>
+nexus3.onap.org:10001/npo/vnf-onboard-frontend:latest`
+
+- BACKEND &mdash; root endpoint of the RESTful APIs exposed by a backend server.
+
+- JAVA_OPTIONS &mdash; optionally, JVM (Java Virtual Machine) arguments.
+
+### Example
+
+`docker run -d --name vnf-onboard-frontend
+-e BACKEND=http://$(docker inspect vnf-onboard-backend --format={{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}):8080
+-e JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx64m -Xms64m -Xss1m" -p 9088:8080 nexus3.onap.org:10001/npo/vnf-onboard-frontend:latest`
+
+Notice that port 8080 of the frontend container has been
+[mapped]( https://docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networking/#published-ports) to port 9088 of the host
+machine. This makes the Designer Web application accessible from the outside world via the host machine's
+IP address/hostname.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+In order to check if the Designer frontend has successfully started, look at the logs of the
+frontend container. For example, by running `docker logs vnf-onboard-frontend`. The logs should not contain
+error messages.
+
+Frontend does not have backend logic, therefore there are no application logs.
+
+
+SDC Plugin Configuration
+========================
+
+In order to run as an SDC pluggable designer, the designer must be added to SDC configuration as described in
+[Generic plugin support](https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Generic+Designer+Support).
+
+If you are deploying SDC using a standard procedure (OOM or the
+[SDC shell script](https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Deploying+SDC+on+a+Linux+VM+for+Development)),
+the easiest way to configure the Onboarding plugin is to edit the *plugins-configuration.yaml*.
+
+### Plugin Source
+
+The main endpoint to load the designer Web application is defined by `"pluginSourceUrl": "http://<host>:<port>"`.
+
+Keep in mind that the URL **must be accessible from a user's browser**. In most cases, `<host>` will be the hostname or
+IP address of the machine that runs Docker engine, and `<port>` will be a host port to which you have published port
+8080 of the Onboarding frontend container.
+
+### Plugin Discovery
+
+In order to check the availability of a plugin, SDC uses `"pluginDiscoveryUrl"`. For Onboarding the value is
+`http://<host>:<port>/ping`.
+
+### Example
+
+Let's assume that hostname of the machine that runs Docker containers with the Onboarding application is
+*onboard.example.com*, and port 8080 of the Onboarding frontend is mapped to 9088 on the host. In this case the
+corresponding section of *plugins-configuration.yaml* will look like below:
+
+```
+
+- pluginId: ONBOARD
+     pluginDiscoveryUrl: "http://onboard.example.com:9088/ping"
+     pluginSourceUrl: "http://onboard.example.com:9088"
+     pluginStateUrl: "onboarding"
+     pluginDisplayOptions:
+        tab:
+            displayName: "ONBOARD"
+            displayRoles: ["DESIGNER", "TESTER"]
+
+```
+
+In a development or demo environment, the designer will run on the same host as SDC, so that its IP address will
+be the one of the Docker host.
