We are currently working on a project which uses the org.openecomp.sdc.sdc-tosca.sdc-tosca version 1.2.2 . We are trying to get a list of Groups from both the resource and service files but the method in SdcCsarHelperImpl.getVfModulesByVf(String vfCustomizationUuid) appears to only return the Groups that are present in the service yaml. There appears to be no way of retrieving groups contained within the resource yaml files using the sdc tosca api.

Example: “resource-VfVpmsBe11253-template.yml”

groups:

VfVpmsBe11253..cognosdependencies..module-25:

      type: org.openecomp.groups.VfModule

      metadata:

        vfModuleModelName: VfVpmsBe11253..cognosdependencies..module-25

        vfModuleModelInvariantUUID: 6577996d-e7e6-4ed5-ab53-09210486526e

        vfModuleModelUUID: b8c4d87c-9872-43aa-b1f0-ebfe0ce03708

        vfModuleModelVersion: '4'

      properties:

        min_vf_module_instances: 0

        vf_module_label: cognosdependencies

        max_vf_module_instances:

        vfc_list:

        vf_module_type: Expansion

        vf_module_description:

        initial_count: 0

        volume_group: false

        availability_zone_count:

The above is an example of a resource yaml with a group that cannot be accessed using the API. We have checked with Pavel Aharoni and he has confirmed that the current sdc parser does not have the api to support this.
