Creating a new Beckn network using ONIX and conducting layer 2 transactions
Introduction
This document describes the process to create a new Beckn network and conduct Energy transactions on it. Please refer to the User Guide for details on the pre-requesites and additional details on all the steps.
The Demo Walkthrough document describes how to install a new Beckn network. In general, readying a new network for installation involves the following steps
- Installing the core network with the registry, gateway, BAP adaptor and the BPP adaptor.
- Installing the layer 2 config files for the domains in which we want to transact
- Conducting successful transactions on the new network.
The Demo Walkthrough illustrates download of retail domain layer 2 configuration. For energy domain all the steps remain the same except that we will have to download the layer 2 config file for energy (e.g. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/beckn/beckn-onix/main/layer2/samples/uei_charging_1.1.0.yaml)
In this document we describe how we can create a energy domain layer 2 config file such as the example above. While these instructions are similar for other domains, the values used in example are more suited for energy domain.
Creating a layer 2 config file for energy domain
We start with either the core specification or a working group recommended layer 2 config for the domain as the base. Some of the changes we do to this base spec include
Adding enumerations for fields
Marking fields as required
Creating tags
Adding tags and requirements on those as conditionals
Additional steps
After all the modifications to the layer 2 config are made for the domain, it needs to be hosted in a centralized place, so the network participants can download them as illustrated in the Demo Walkthrough. Once these are downloaded by the BAP and the BPP, they can conduct transactions in the domain.
