Developer Guide

This document provides a quickstart for developers of the Non-RT RIC rApp Manager.

Additional developer guides are available on the O-RAN SC NONRTRIC Developer wiki.

The rApp Manager is a Java 17 web application built using the Spring Framework. Using Spring Boot dependencies, it runs as a standalone application.

Its main functionality is to lifecycle manage rApps.

Start standalone

The project uses Maven. To start the rApp Manager as a freestanding application, run the following command in the rappmanager/rapp-manager-application directory:

mvn spring-boot:run

There are a few service endpoints that needs to be available to run. These are referred to from the application.yaml file. The following properties have to be modified:

rappmanager.acm.baseurl=http://policy-clamp-runtime-acm.default:6969/onap/policy/clamp/acm/v2/
rappmanager.sme.baseurl=http://capifcore:8090
rappmanager.dme.baseurl=http://informationservice:9082

Start in Docker

To build and deploy the rApp Manager, go to the rappmanager/rapp-manager-application folder and run the following command:

mvn clean install

Then start the container by running the following command:

docker run nonrtric-plt-rappmanager
