+There are two configuration files for A1 Policy Management Service, *config/application_configuration.json* and *config/application.yaml*
The first one contains configuration of data needed by the application, such as which Near-RT RICs

+For more information about these configuration files can be found as comments in the sample files provided with the source code, or on the `ONAP wiki <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/O-RAN+A1+Policies+in+ONAP+Honolulu>`_
+
+Static configuration (application.yaml)
+---------------------------------------
+
+The file *./config/application.yaml* is read by the application at startup. It provides the following configurable features:
+
+ * server; configuration for the WEB server
+
+ * used port for HTTP/HTTPS, this is however not the port numbers visible outside the container
+ * SSL parameters for setting up using of key store and trust store databases.
+ * webclient; configuration parameters for a web client used by the component
+
+ * SSL parameters for setting up using of key store and trust store databases.
+ * Usage of HTTP(S) Proxy; if configured, the proxy will be used for southbound access to the NearRT-RICs
+
+ * logging; setting of of which information that is logged.
+ * filepath; the local path to a file used for dynamic configuration (if used). See next chapter.
+
+For details about the parameters in this file, see documentation in the file.
+
+Dynamic configuration
+---------------------
+
+The component has configuration that can be updated in runtime. This configuration can either be loaded from a file (accessible from the container) or from a CBS/Consul database (Cloudify). The configuration is re-read and refreshed at regular intervals.
+
+The configuration includes:
+
+ * Controller configuration, which includes information on how to access the a1-adapter
+ * One entry for each NearRT-RIC, which includes:
+
+ * The base URL of the NearRT RIC
+ * A list of O1 identifiers that the NearRT RIC is controlling. An application can query this service which NearRT RIC should be addressed for controlling (for instance) a given Cell.
+ * An optional reference to the controller to use, or excluded if the NearRT-RIC can be accessed directly from this component.
+
+ * Optional configuration for using of DMAAP. There can be one stream for requests to the component and an other stream for responses.
+
+For details about the syntax of the file, there is an example in source code repository */config/application_configuration.json*. This file is also included in the docker container */opt/app/policy-agent/data/application_configuration.json_example*.
+
+Using CBS/Consul database for dynamic configuration
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+The access of CBS is setup by means of environment variables. There is currently no support for setting these at on boarding.

API Version
-***********
+-----------
APIs are described with a state version with "v" following the API Name,
e.g.: ``v2/policy``.
The schema associated with a REST API must have its version number aligned
with that of the REST API.
-The version number has major, minor and revision numbers. E.g. v1.0.0
-The version number (without the revision number) is held in the URI.
-
-The major version number is incremented for an incompatible change.
-The minor version number is incremented for a compatible change.
-For minor modifications of the API, version numbering must not be updated,
-
-For major modifications of the API, not backward compatible and forcing client
-implementations to be changed, the major version number must be updated.
