Stitch a brownfield service

IBSF service stitching

IBSF provides the functionality to stitch brownfield MDM managed service sites into a single service entity and persist them in the NSP database so they are visible (read-only) by IBSF. Then, the user may associate the service to a template which would enable full lifecycle management and CRUD support. In order to achieve this, a service stitching algorithm was developed to stitch sites together into a single service entity based on service type and algorithm. This service stitching can be triggered from the IBSF API or by enabling auto-stitch.

Prerequisites

The required artifacts for service stitching are in the svc-mgt-artifacts-common bundle. These artifacts include data-sync mapping and metadata files.

Service stitching API

The service stitching API takes 3 input parameters: service-type, algorithm, and sites. Only include MDM sites. The URL and body is as follows:

(https://{{server}}/restconf/data/nsp-service-intent:stitchservices)

    { 
       "input":{ 
       "service-type":<service-type>, 
       "algorithm":<name-of-algorithm>,
       "sites":["2.2.2.2","3.3.3.3]
       }
    }
