Non-RT RIC Control Panel¶
Control Panel Overview¶
The Non-RT RIC Control Panel is a graphical user interface that enables the user to manage the Policies in the network. The Control Panel interacts with the Policy Agent via a REST API. The Control Panel generates its GUI from JSON schemas in a model driven fashion.
The Control Panel consists of a back end implemented as a Java Spring Boot application and a fronted developed using the Angular framework.
Control Panel architecture¶
The architecture of the Control Panel is as shown on the following picture:
The Control Panel itself is split into the backend and the frontend, and can be deployed following the instructions in the README.md file in the repo.
Developer Guide¶
This document provides a quickstart for developers of the Non-RT RIC Control Panel.
The Non-RT RIC Control Panel is an interface that allows human users to create, edit and delete policy instances, for each existing policy type. The policy types and their definitions are retrieved from each Near-RT RIC.
See the README.md file in the nonrtric-controlpanel repo for info about how to use it.
Start the Control Panel¶
To run the Control Panel locally for development with simulated services, follow these steps:
Fetch the code¶
Fetch the latest code from gerrit (nonrtric-controlpanel)
Start the backend¶
cd webapp-backend
mvn clean install
mvn -Dorg.oransc.portal.nonrtric.controlpanel=mock -Dtest=MockControlPanelBackEnd -DfailIfNoTests=false test
Now you can open URL: localhost:8080 in a browser to access the backend directly.
Start the frontend¶
cd webapp-frontend
./ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json
Now you can open URL: localhost:4200 in a browser to access the Control Panel.
