======== Features

• Generate a new python NetApp from a template
• Assist in connecting the new NetApp & repo with EVOLVED-5G CI/CD pipeline
• SDK Libraries for interacting with the 5G-API
• Assist in running verification pipelines for NetApps

================== Useful Information

The purpose of this guide is to help developers, in the EVOLVED-5G project scope, to develop a NetApp.

First, the partner to be interested in developing a NetApp must send an email to [e-mail] to receive access to the GitHub organization.

The email must contain the GitHub username to be added to the GitHub organization.

You will receive an invitation which you will have to accept in order to have owner permissions in this organisation, which can be found here: https://github.com/EVOLVED-5G

Once the developer has access to the organisation, he will want to create a new repository from a template. To do this, a template repository has been created and will be visible in the organisation, which contains a tool called Cookiecutter along with some Python scripts. With such scripts, the developer will be asked to introduce some inputs necessary in order to create a new repository, such repository will contain all the necessary folder and files for the creation/development of a NetApp.

First of all, in order to be able to work with Cookiecutter, it is mandatory to install it on your local computer or virtual machine. Below are the commands that should be executed to work with Cookiecutter (these commands have been tested under Ubuntu, but it is also possible to use this tool on Windows and Mac (to be checked)).

This guide has been developed to work with Ubuntu OS, so all the commands have been only tested under Ubuntu, if other OS will be used, please have in mind some of this command will differ.

To install and use the tool, please refer to:

======= History

0.8.6 (2022-11-23)

Update of the SDK library, on how the CAPIF endpoints are constructed. When connecting to CAPIF if standard ports are used (80,443) we now don't include them to the capif url/endpoint

(ex. https://capifcore/register instead of https://capifcore:443/register)

(ex. http://capifcore/register instead of http://capifcore:80/register)

If non standard ports are used (ex. 8080) then they are included in the capif url/endpoint (ex.http://capifcore:8080/register)

0.8.5 (2022-10-27)

• Update of the SDK library to be compatible with the latest release of NEF v1.6.1

0.8.4 (2022-10-27)

• The SDK Library now communicates first with CAPIF server in order to discover the NEF endpoints

0.8.3 (2022-10-17)

• News SDK Library CAPIFExposerConnector, that allows exposers to register to CAPIF and publish services
• New CLI command evolved5G register-and-onboard-to-capif that allows NetApps to register their NetAPP to CAPIF via the command line

0.8.2 (2022-10-14)

• Bug fix on import CAPIFConnector class from sdk

0.8.1 (2022-10-12)

• New class at the Libraries: CAPIFConnector. Used in the CLI in order to onboard a netApp to CAPIF server
• New class at the Libraries: ServiceDiscoverer. Used by developers in order to discover services (endpoints) via the CAPIF server
• Bug fix on LocationSubscriber get_location_information()

0.8.0 (2022-09-23)

• New verification tests have been implemented. Such verification tests are related to NetApp code and NetApp container image analysis.
• The execution of the verification tests has been also simplify

0.7.9 (2022-09-22)

• Improvement at QosAwareness, for Guaranteed Bit Rate. Up to now, you could ask the 5G Network to send you notification when specific parameters of the QoS session cannot be guaranteed. For example a minimum 5ms delay at uplink. This notification was sent exactly once, when the environment has changed: For example when a minimum 5ms delay at uplink cannot be guaranteed, or when the a minimum 5ms delay at uplink has been established and can be guaranteed. Method create_guaranteed_bit_rate_subscription() has breaking changes. See below the change:

  .. code-block:: :caption: Method signature create_guaranteed_bit_rate_subscription should be changed

    subscription = qos_awereness.create_guaranteed_bit_rate_subscription(
        ...
        wait_time_between_reports=10
        ...)
  
    Should be replaced by:
  
    subscription = qos_awereness.create_guaranteed_bit_rate_subscription(
        ...
        reporting_mode= QosAwareness.EventTriggeredReportingConfiguration(wait_time_in_seconds=10)
        ...)
  

• New SDK Class, ConnectionMonitor: Consider a scenario where a NetApp wants to monitor 100 devices in the 5G Network. The netapp wants to track, at any given time how many NetApps are connected to the 5G Network and how many netApps are disconnected.Using ConnectionMonitor the NetApp can retrieve notifications by the 5G Network for individual devices when Connection is lost (for example the user device has not been connected to the 5G network for the past 10 seconds) Connection is alive (for example the user device has been connected to the 5G network for the past 10 seconds)

• The documentation about the usability has been updated.

0.7.8 (2022-09-02)

• It has been improved the usability. It has been added a configuration file to create the NetApp repository, rather than using a prompt input.
• Cleaning up the code.

0.7.7 (2022-07-04)

• Updates on documentation

0.7.6 (2022-07-04)

• Documentation has been updated accordingly

0.6.2 (2022-01-28)

• Improvements on LocationSubscriber. A new method has been implemented with name get_location_information

With the new method the net app developer has the option to request for location information for a device just once. No need to create subscriptions or maintain a local web server in order to get notified for location changes. When a call to get_location_information is made, the 5G-API responds instantly with the location information (the cell id the device, that is being monitored, is connected to)

• Examples of usages have been updated File location_subscriber_examples.py now showcases how the new method can be called
