CLI documentation

The tool can be run in CLI mode using the command tng-sdk-validate, there are several arguments to introduce in the tool (more information with tng-sdk-validate -h). Hovewer, the mainly arguments are type of descriptor and validation level. The tool can be used to validate complete projects, individual descriptors or a folder with descriptors inside (bulk validation).

Validation level

When the descriptor type is chosen it should choose the level of validation:

• Syntax -s
• Integrity -i
• Topology -t
• Custom rules -c

If the user does not specify the validation level, the validator will choose a default level which depends on the descriptor type. In NSD or VNFD, the default level is topology, in the rest of them the default level is integrity.

Note: Superior types implies inferior types, i.e. If topology is chosen, syntax and integrity will be validated.

Project / Descriptor type

Currently the following arguments are supported by the tool.

• --project
• --service
• --function
• --sla
• --slice
• --policy

Individual/Bulk validation

Any individual validation of a service requires the use of the --dpath argument, which is the path to the VNFD(s) that are referenced from the NSD and the --dext argument which represents the file extension.
