This page describes how to get the Istanbul release version of A1-Policy functions up and running using Docker.

...

• Copy the default configuration file oran/a1-policy-management/config/application_configuration.json (Jakarta) to the current directory, then replace/amend the configuration with the sample demo configuration below.
  (Note the configuration below is just a sample, and should be updated to match particular deployments.  The deployment below assumes 4 near-RT-RICs exist - addressable at the URLs given. See the step "Run OSC Near-RT-RIC/A1 Simulator Docker Containers" below)

• The controller URL (hostname, port), username and password values to access the A1 Controller (SDNC + A1 Adapter) must match the values configured for the SDNC-A1-Controller. (See the step "Run A1 Controller" further below). The port number for http is 8181.
  (Note the configuration below is just a sample, and should be updated to match particular deployments.  The deployment below assumes an A1 Controller function (SDNC) exists - addressable at the url given, using the authentication credentials given.)

• Any defined ric host names (in the name and baseUrl for each ric entry) must match the given docker container names in near-RT-RIC simulator startup - port is always the simulator's internal port 8085 for http or 8185 for https.

• The A1 Policy Management service can entirely by-pass the A1-Controller (SDNC + A1 Adapter) if desired - it is optional to access the near-RT-RIC through an A1-Controller.
  In the configuration the "controller" property is optional in the "ric" objects
  If all configured rics bypass the A1-Controller (do not have "controller" values) then the "controller" object at the top of the configuration can be omitted.
  If all configured rics bypass the A1-Controller there is no need to start an A1-Controller.
  

  Info
  title Optional: Do not connect through SDNC / A1 Adapter
  There is no functional gain in accessing the near-RT-RIC through an A1-Controller. To bypass the  A1-Controller (SDNC + A1 Adapter), where the A1-Policy Management Service connects directly to the A1 Interface: If all configured rics bypass the A1-Controller (do not have "controller" values) then the "controller" object at the top of the configuration can be omitted. If all configured rics bypass the A1-Controller there is no need to start an A1-Controller.
