| Description |
|
The system should allow for easy sideload of models for devices that do not support netconf monitoring. An operator should be able to specify in the device configuration (along with IP address and credentials) where to load the models from. A user should be able to specify a URI for each model that the user wants to be loaded into the controller for the device. The URI can point to an http/https download, ftp download, or a local file. |

This feature is (with limits) already present in ODL: It allows for side-loading of schemas from the cache/schemas folder |

Move to NETCONFI project. |

Hi Alexis,
This new feature is about side-loading schemas for device from some remote yang sources repository. You can think of it as a remote cache/schema folder schema side-loading. You should be able to specify URL in the device configuration (either via netconf-topology or via netconf-connector) where to load the models from. We are using ietf-netconf-yang-library model for this, so maybe this is causing a confusion here. From the specified URL we download yang-library data (that is the list of modules with some basic information about each of them and URL that represents the YANG schema resource for each module or submodule) and register obtained schemas to schema registry. Part of the implementation will be also the ODL application (part of netconf project), where you can specify folder with schemas that you want to serve. The application will then generate URL for each present model and serve them on generated URLs. Application will also write list of present models and generated urls to yang-libray model. So you can use ODL as a central remote yang source library for other applications or other ODL instances or for its own netconf connections. Hope this is more clear now. |

Hey Jakub, Ok I think I got the difference between the two bugs now:
What confused me was separating the support of the new ietf model and its usage to sideload schemas. Sorry for having mess-up the bugs and thanks for having clarifying that. |
