Service management allows for the addition of a ‘Linked Service’ object to existing services using an API. When adding a ‘Linked Service’ object to these target services, users specify the service to which they will be linked. Once linked, the operational state of the target services will then align with/be inherited from the service to which they are linked.

Note: When linked to a composite service, the operational state that the target services will inherit will be an aggregate of the operational states of the services that comprise the composite service.

Note: A composite service cannot be specified as a target service.

The following API is used to add a ‘Linked Service’ object to existing services:

POST /restconf/operations/nsp-service-actions:add-linked-service

{

  "input": {

    "linked-service-identifier": "/nsp-service:services/service-layer/composite:composite[service-id='linked_ID']",

    "target-service-identifiers": [

      "/nsp-service:services/service-layer/eline[service-id='target_ID']"

    ]

  }

}

where

linked_ID is the ID of an existing service to which the target services will link

target_ID is the ID of an existing service to which a ‘Linked Service’ object will be added

The following API is used to remove a ‘Linked Service’ object from an existing service:

POST /restconf/operations/nsp-service-actions:remove-linked-service

{

  "input": {

    "target-service-identifiers": [

      "/nsp-service:services/service-layer/eline[service-id='target_ID']"

    ]

  }

}

Where target_ID is the ID of an existing service from which a ‘Linked Service’ object will be removed

The following command can be used to enable or disable the event notifications that occur when the operational state of a linked service is updated:

kubectl edit configmap nsp-service-oper-model-app-conf-log-configmap --namespace nsp-psa-restricted

    svcoper.linkedsvc.operstate

{       updateEventEnabled = true     }

Note: When updateEventEnabled is set to true, operational state update event notifications are enabled. When updateEventEnabled is set to false, operational state update event notifications are disabled.
