Assign Resources

  1. SDP Leaf Node provides API for Assign Resources workflow.

  2. The SDP Leaf Node accepts the command if :-

    1. Operational state of the SDP Leaf node is ON/OFF/INIT/STANDBY/ALARM

  3. The SDP Leaf Node rejects the command if :-

    1. Operational state of SDP Leaf node is FAULT/UNKNOWN .

  4. The following state requirements are applied for the command execution :-

    1. SDP Subarray is in ‘observation state’ EMPTY or IDLE .

    2. SDP Subarray node is available .

  5. The command execution involves below key operations :-

    1. The Input JSON is validated and if malformed , and Command is ‘Failed’ with exception message

    2. Interface schema version if missing from the input JSON is added

    3. The command is then invoked on the SDP Subarray.

      • If SDP Subarray raises exception , command failure is reported as ‘RESULT_CODE - FAILED’ on Long Running Command Result attribute of the SDP leaf node.

      • If SDP Subarray accept command , the TMC SDP leaf node will wait for command completion.

  6. The SDP leaf node monitors the progress of command via the SDP sub-array node ObsState transitions and the long running command results.

    1. Command is successful when the SDP Subarray Node transitions to IDLE ObsState. This is reported as ‘RESULT_CODE - OK’ on Long Running Command Result attribute of the Subarray node.

    2. Command failure is reported in any of the below cases as ‘RESULT_CODE - FAILED’ on Long Running Command Result attribute of the TMC SDP Subarray leaf node.

      • The SDP Subarray reports error event when command is invoked .

      • The command times out if SDP SubarrayNode does not transition to IDLE within the timeout period specified by CommandTimeOutDefault property specified in helm chart of the SDP Leaf Node .

  7. Input JSON to SDP Subarray is as per schema detailed at - https://developer.skao.int/projects/ska-telmodel/en/latest/schemas/sdp/ska-sdp-assignres.html
