# O-RAN-SC Hello World Xapp in Golang This repository contains open-source code for a prototype golang xAPP for near real-time RAN Intelligent Controller which makes use of golang Xapp Framework. This xAPP aims to provide basic implementation of : 1. A1 interfaces interactions 2. Read-write operations into a persistent storage. 3. xAPP Configuration management 4. RMR Health Check 5. xAPP SDL Check 6. Raising alarms 7. Generating metrics 8. E2 Interface intereactions ## Introduction This document provides guidelines on how to install and configure the HW Golang xAPP in various environments/operating modes. The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in RIC Platform. ## Preface This xAPP can be run directly as a Linux binary, as a docker image, or in a pod in a Kubernetes environment. The first two can be used for dev testing. The last option is how an xAPP is deployed in the RAN Intelligent Controller environment. This covers all three methods. 1. Docker 2. Linux Binary 3. Kubernetes ## Software Installation and Deployment ### Onboarding of hw-go using dms_cli tool `dms_cli` offers rich set of command line utility to onboard `hw-go` xapp to `chartmuseme`. First checkout the [hw-go](https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/ric-app/hw-go) repository from gerrit. ``` git clone "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/ric-app/hw-go" ``` `hw-go` has following folder structure ``` ├── Dockerfile ├── INFO.yaml ├── LICENSES.txt ├── README.md ├── config │   ├── config-file.json // descriptor for hw-go │   ├── schema.json // schema for controls section of descriptor │   └── uta_rtg.rt // local route file ├── docs ├── go.mod ├── go.sum └── hwApp.go ``` For onboarding `hw-go` make sure that `dms_cli` and helm3 is installed. One can follow [documentation](https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-it-dep/en/latest/installation-guides.html#ric-applications) to configure `dms_cli`. Once `dms_cli` is availabe we can proceed to onboarding proceure. configure the `export CHART_REPO_URL` to point `chartmuseme`. ``` $export CHART_REPO_URL=http://:8080 ``` check if `dms_cli` working fine. ``` $ dms_cli health True ``` Now move to `config` folder to initiate onboarding. ``` $ cd config $ dms_cli onboard --config_file_path=config-file.json --shcema_file_path=schema.json httpGet: path: '{{ index .Values "readinessProbe" "httpGet" "path" | toJson }}' port: '{{ index .Values "readinessProbe" "httpGet" "port" | toJson }}' initialDelaySeconds: '{{ index .Values "readinessProbe" "initialDelaySeconds" | toJson }}' periodSeconds: '{{ index .Values "readinessProbe" "periodSeconds" | toJson }}' httpGet: path: '{{ index .Values "livenessProbe" "httpGet" "path" | toJson }}' port: '{{ index .Values "livenessProbe" "httpGet" "port" | toJson }}' initialDelaySeconds: '{{ index .Values "livenessProbe" "initialDelaySeconds" | toJson }}' periodSeconds: '{{ index .Values "livenessProbe" "periodSeconds" | toJson }}' { "status": "Created" } ``` Check if `hw-go` is onborded ``` $ curl --location --request GET "http://:32080/onboard/api/v1/charts" --header 'Content-Type: application/json' { "hw-go": [ { "name": "hw-go", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "Standard xApp Helm Chart", "apiVersion": "v1", "appVersion": "1.0", "urls": [ "charts/hw-go-1.0.0.tgz" ], "created": "2021-06-24T18:57:41.98056196Z", "digest": "14a484d9a394ed34eab66e5241ec33e73be8fa70a2107579d19d037f2adf57a0" } ] } ``` If we would wish to download the charts then we can perform following curl operation : ``` curl --location --request GET "http://:32080/onboard/api/v1/charts/xapp/hw-go/ver/1.0.0" --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --output hw-go.tgz ``` Now the onboarding is done. ### Deployment of hw-go Once charts are available we can deploy the the `hw-go` using following curl command : ``` $ curl --location --request POST "http://:32080/appmgr/ric/v1/xapps" --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{"xappName": "hw-go", "helmVersion": "1.0.0"}' {"instances":null,"name":"hw-go","status":"deployed","version":"1.0"} ``` Deployment will be done in `ricxapp` ns : ``` # kubectl get po -n ricxapp NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE ricxapp-hw-go-55ff7549df-kpj6k 1/1 Running 0 2m # kubectl get svc -n ricxapp NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE aux-entry ClusterIP IP1 80/TCP,443/TCP 73d service-ricxapp-hw-go-http ClusterIP IP2 8080/TCP 103m service-ricxapp-hw-go-rmr ClusterIP IP3 4560/TCP,4561/TCP 103m ``` Now we can query to appmgr to get list of all the deployed xapps : ``` # curl http://service-ricplt-appmgr-http.ricplt:8080/ric/v1/xapps | jq . % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 347 100 347 0 0 578 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 579 [ { "instances": [ { "ip": "service-ricxapp-hw-go-rmr.ricxapp", "name": "hw-go-55ff7549df-kpj6k", "policies": [ 1 ], "port": 4560,

"name": "hw-go", "status": "deployed", "version": "1.0" } ] ``` Logs from `hw-go` : ``` # kubectl logs ricxapp-hw-go-55ff7549df-kpj6k -n ricxapp
