3 Using Unified Data Repository (UDR) Console

In this chapter, you will learn to login to CNC Console application and use UDR for performing provisioning operations for profile-data, PCF, SLF, UDM and schema management.

Note:

As on UDR 1.6 and CNCC-1.1, only provisioning operations are supported. Configuration updates are not yet supported.

Logging into CNC Console

A user can use UDR integrated with CNC Console only after logging successfully into the CNC Console application. In order to login successfully to the CNC Console, the user needs to make the following updates to the hosts file available at the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc location.

In the Windows system, user needs to open the hosts file in the notepad as an Administrator and append the following set of lines at the end:

Example:
         10.75.224.58 cncc-iam-ingress-gateway.cncc.svc.cluster.local
         10.75.224.58 cncc-core-ingress-gateway.cncc.svc.cluster.local

Note:

The IP Address in the above lines may change when deloyment cluster changes.

Save and close the notepad.

To login to CNC Console:
  1. Type http://cncc-core-ingress-gateway.cncc.svc.cluster.local:<PortNumber>/ in the web browser and press Enter. Following screen appears:
