Parser tosca2heat Execution

Step 1: Change directory to where the tosca yaml files are present, example is below with vRNC definiton.

cd parser/tosca2heat/tosca-parser/toscaparser/extensions/nfv/tests/data/vRNC/Definitions

Step 2: Run the python command heat-translator with the TOSCA yaml file as an input option.

heat-translator --template-file=<input file> --template-type=tosca
                --outpurt-file=<output hot file>

Example:

heat-translator --template-file=vRNC.yaml \
    --template-type=tosca --output-file=vRNC_hot.yaml

Notes: heat-translator will call class of ToscaTemplate in tosca-parser firstly to validate and parse input yaml file, then tranlate the file into hot file, if you only want to validate or check the input file and don’t want to translate, please use tosaca-parser as following:

tosca-parser --template-file=<input yaml file>

Example:

tosca-parser --template-file=vRNC.yaml

Parser yang2tosca Execution

Step 1: Change directory to where the scripts are present.

cd parser/yang2tosca

Step 2: Copy the YANG file which needs to be converted into TOSCA to

current (parser/yang2tosca) folder.

Step 3: Run the python script “parser.py” with the YANG file as an input option.

python parser.py -n "YANG filename"

Example:

python parser.py -n example.yaml

Step 4: Verify the TOSCA YAMl which file has been created with the same name

as the YANG file with a “_tosca” suffix.

cat "YANG filename_tosca.yaml"

Example:

cat example_tosca.yaml

Parser policy2tosca Execution

Step 1: To see a list of commands available.

policy2tosca --help

Step 2: To see help for an individual command, include the command name on the command line

policy2tosca help <service>

Step 3: To inject/remove policy types/policy definitions provide the TOSCA file as input to policy2tosca command line.

policy2tosca <service> [arguments]

Example:

policy2tosca add-definition --policy_name rule2 --policy_type  tosca.policies.Placement.Geolocation

–description “test description” –properties region:us-north-1,region:us-north-2,min_inst:2 –targets VNF2,VNF4 –metadata “map of strings” –triggers “1,2,3,4” –source example.yaml

Step 4: Verify the TOSCA YAMl updated with the injection/removal executed.

cat "<source tosca file>"

Example:

cat example_tosca.yaml
