1 Introduction

This document provides information about troubleshooting Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core Console (CNC Console).

Overview

The Cloud Native Core Console (CNC Console) is a single screen solution to configure and manage Network Functions (NFs). The CNC Console has the following two modules:
  • CNC Console Core (CNCC Core): CNCC Core acts as GUI or API portal for NFs and OCCNE common services. CNCC Core module includes CNC Console and its integration with other Cloud native core network functions. The CNCC provides user interface that can be used to configure parameters for the following CNC network functions:
    • Binding Support Function (BSF)
    • Service Communication Proxy (SCP)
    • Network Repository Function (NRF)
    • Cloud Native Core Policy
    • Security Edge Protection Proxy (SEPP)
    • Unified Data Repository (UDR)
    • Network Slice Selection Function (NSSF)
    • CNE Common Services
  • CNC Console Identity Access Management (CNCC IAM): CNCC IAM acts as local identity provider and broker for external identity provider. CNCC IAM module includes the required authentication and authorization procedures such as creating and assigning roles to users.

Continuous Delivery Control Server (CDCS)

CNC Console can be deployed using Continuous Delivery Control Server (CDCS) or Command Line Interface (CLI) procedures as described in Installing CNC Console. CDCS provides continuous delivery functionality for multi-site Cloud Native Core (CNC) installations. For more information about CDCS, see Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core CD Control Server User Guide.

CDCS is a centralized server that automates CNC Console deployment processes such as installation, upgrade, and rollback CNC Console. CLI provides an interface to run various commands required to install, upgrade, and roll back CNC Console.

CNC Console installation comprises of prerequisites, pre deployment , installation, and post installation tasks. You must perform CNC Console installation tasks in the same sequence as outlined in the following table:
