+1.    Pre-requisite for DCAE MOD Deployment
+===========================================
 
-1.    Deployment of DCAE MOD components via Helm charts
+With complete of DCAE Helm tranformation in Jakarta release, DCAE MOD has been enhanced
+to support Helm chart generation for microservices onboarded.
+In order to support the HELM flow through MOD, following dependency should be met
+
+
+-  An accessible ChartMuseum registry (internal or external)
+
+-  As the provided registry is used both to pull required dependencies
+   and push new generated charts, all common charts used by DCAE
+   components must be available in this registry.
+
+.. note:: 
+   By default, MOD charts are set to use local chartmuseum registry. This can be modified by 
+   updating the `RuntimeAPI charts
+   deployment <https://git.onap.org/oom/tree/kubernetes/dcaemod/components/dcaemod-runtime-api/values.yaml#n44>`__ 
+   
+
+ONAP deployments (gating) will include Chartmuseum installation within
+ONAP cluster  (charts hosted here
+- https://github.com/onap/oom/tree/master/kubernetes/platform/components/chartmuseum). 
+
+Dependent charts such as - dcaegen2-services-common, readinessCheck,
+common, repositoryGenerator, postgres, mongo, serviceAccount,
+certInitializer should be preloaded into this registry as MOD retrieves
+them during new MS helm charts creation and linting.  To support the
+registry initialization, following scripts has been introduced. 
+
+-  https://github.com/onap/oom/blob/master/kubernetes/contrib/tools/registry-initialize.sh
+
+-  https://github.com/onap/oom/blob/master/kubernetes/robot/demo-k8s.sh
+
+Note:  Chartmuseum being a platform component, it has to be enabled
+on-demand and not available with generic ONAP installation.  
+
+Follow below steps to setup chartmuseum and pre-load required charts.
+
+Chartmuseum Installation
+------------------------
+
+Clone OOM repository and deploy optional Chartmuseum component
+
+**Chartmuseum Deployment**
+
+::
+
+    # git clone -b <BRANCH> http://gerrit.onap.org/r/oom --recurse-submodules
+    cd  ~/oom/kubernetes/platform/components/chartmuseum
+    helm install -name dev-chartmuseum -n onap . -f ~/onap-1-override.yaml  --set global.masterPassword=test1 --set global.pullPolicy=IfNotPresent
+
+
+.. note:: 
+   This instance of chartmuseum registry is deployed internal to ONAP cluster and 
+   is different from the registry setup done part `OOM
+   deployment <https://docs.onap.org/projects/onap-oom/en/latest/oom_quickstart_guide.html>`__ 
+   where local helm server is setup for serving chart and to pull/push the
+   charts generated make process
+
+Chartmuseum initialization 
+--------------------------
+
+As noted earlier, there are two scripts available for pre-load. The
+`registry-initialize.sh <https://github.com/onap/oom/blob/master/kubernetes/contrib/tools/registry-initialize.sh>`__
+retrieves the Chartmuseum credential from secret and load the charts
+individually based on parameter (default no parameters, will load all
+DCAE service charts and its dependencies).  And
+`demo-k8s.sh <https://github.com/onap/oom/blob/master/kubernetes/robot/demo-k8s.sh>`__
+is wrapper script used in gating, which invokes
+`registry-initialize.sh <https://github.com/onap/oom/blob/master/kubernetes/contrib/tools/registry-initialize.sh>`__
+with required parameters.
+
+**Chartmuseum initialization via demo-k8s.sh**
+
+::
+
+    cd ~/oom/kubernetes/robot
+    ./demo-k8s.sh onap registrySynch
+
+OR 
+
+**Chartmuseum initialization via registry-initialize script**
+
+::
+
+    cd ~/oom/kubernetes/contrib/tools   
+    ./registry-initialize.sh -d ../../dcaegen2-services/charts/ -n onap -r dev-chartmuseum

-Data Formats

-============

-

-Data formats are descriptions of data; they are the data contract

-between your component and other components. When the components are

-‘composed’ into services in the Design tool, they can only be matched with

-components that have compatible data formats. Data formats will be

-onboarded to Design tool and assigned a UUID at that time. This UUID is then

-used to ensure compatibility amoung components. (If component X outputs

-data format ‘DF-Y’, and another component Z specifies ‘DF-Y’ as its

-input data format, then X is said to be ``composable`` with component

-Z).

-

-Since data formats will be shared across components, the onboarding

-catalog should be checked first to see if the desired data format is

-available before creating one. The vision is to have a repository of

-shared data formats that developers and teams can re-use and also

-provide them the means to extend and create new custom data formats. A

-data format is referenced by its data format id and version number.

-

-JSON schema

------------

-

-Meta Schema Definition

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-The “Meta Schema” implementation defines how data format JSON schemas

-can be written to define user input. It is itself a JSON schema (thus it

-is a “meta schema”). It requires the name of the data format entry, the

-data format entry version and allows a description under “self” object.

-The meta schema version must be specified as the value of the

-“dataformatversion” key. Then the input schema itself is described as

-one of the four types listed below:

-

-+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

-| Type             | Description                                       |

-+==================+===================================================+

-| jsonschema       | inline standard JSON Schema definitions of JSON   |

-|                  | inputs                                            |

-+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

-| delimitedschema  | delimited data input using a JSON description and |

-|                  | defined delimiter                                 |

-+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

-| unstructured     | unstructured text, and reference that allows a    |

-|                  | pointer to another artifact for a schema.         |

-+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+

-| reference        | allows for XML and Protocol Buffers schema,       |

-|                  | but can be used to reference other JSON,          |

-|                  | delimitedschema and unstructured schemas as well. |

-Example Schemas

----------------

-

-By reference example - Common Event Format 

-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-

-First the full JSON schema description of the Common Event Format would

-be loaded with a name of “Common Event Format” and the current version

-of “25.0.0”.

-

-Then the data format description is loaded by this schema:

-

-::

-

-    {

-        "self": {

-            "name": "Common Event Format Definition",

-            "version": "25.0.0",

-            "description": "Common Event Format Definition"

-

-Working with Data Formats

--------------------------

-

-Data Formats can be validated using `schema <https://git.onap.org/dcaegen2/platform/plain/mod/component-json-schemas/data-format/dcae-cli-v1/data-format-schema.json>`__

-Once validated, the dataformat can be onboarded using :doc:`DCAE-MOD <../DCAE-MOD/DCAE-MOD-User-Guide>`

+Data Formats
+============
+
+Data formats are descriptions of data; they are the data contract
+between your component and other components. When the components are
+‘composed’ into services in the Design tool, they can only be matched with
+components that have compatible data formats. Data formats will be
+onboarded to Design tool and assigned a UUID at that time. This UUID is then
+used to ensure compatibility amoung components. (If component X outputs
+data format ‘DF-Y’, and another component Z specifies ‘DF-Y’ as its
+input data format, then X is said to be ``composable`` with component
+Z).
+
+Since data formats will be shared across components, the onboarding
+catalog should be checked first to see if the desired data format is
+available before creating one. The vision is to have a repository of
+shared data formats that developers and teams can re-use and also
+provide them the means to extend and create new custom data formats. A
+data format is referenced by its data format id and version number.
+
+JSON schema

+
+  The data format specification is represented (and validated) against

 Onboarding Pre-requisite
 ========================
 
-Before a component is onboarded into DCAE, the component developer must ensure it 
-is compliant with ONAP & DCAE goals and requirement in order to correctly be deployed and be managed. This
-page will discuss the changes which are grouped into the following
-categories:
-
--  :any:`Configuration management via ConfigBindingService <configuration_management>`
--  :any:`Docker images <docker_images>`
--  :any:`Policy Reconfiguration flow support <policy_reconfiguration>`

-Configuration Management
-------------------------
-
-All configuration for a component is stored in CONSUL under the
-components uniquely generated name which is provided by the environment
-variable ``HOSTNAME`` as well as ``SERVICE_NAME``. It is then made
-available to the component via a remote HTTP service call to CONFIG
-BINDING SERVICE.
-
-The main entry in CONSUL for the component contains its
-**generated application configuration**. This is based on the submitted
-component specification, and consists of the *interfaces* (streams and
-services/calls) and *parameters* sections. Other entries may exist as
-well, under specific keys, such as :dmaap . Each key represents a
-specific type of information and is also available to the component by
-calling CONFIG BINDING SERVICE. More on this below.
-
-Components are required to pull their
-**generated application configuration** at application startup using the environment
-setting exposed during deployment.

 .. _config_binding_service:
 
-Config Binding Service
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Config Binding Service SDK Integration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-The config binding service is a platform HTTP service that is
-responsible for providing clients with its fully resolve configuration
-JSON at startup, and also other configurations objects 
-when requested.
+With Jakarta release, Consul and ConfigBindingService interface has been deprecated from DCAE
+All Microservice configuration are resolved through files mounted via Configmap created part of 
+dcae-services helm chart deployment. 
 
-At runtime, components should make an HTTP GET on:
+CBS SDK library are available within DCAE which can be used by DCAE Microservices for configuration
+retrieval. For details on the API - refer  `CBS SDK Java Library 
+<https://docs.onap.org/projects/onap-dcaegen2/en/latest/sections/sdk/api.html>`__
 
-::
-  
-  <config binding service hostname>:<port>/service_component/NAME
+Its strongly recommended to use CBS SDK library for consistency across DCAE services to retrieve  both static and policy driven configuration. 
 
-For Docker components, NAME should be set to ``HOSTNAME``, which is
-provided as an ENV variable to the container.
+Topic Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-The binding service integrates with the streams and services section of
-the component specification. For example, if you specify that you call a
-service:
+With Helm flow integration in MOD, topic generation feature is not supported.
 
+Applications are required to identify the topic and feed information as application 
+configuration.
+
+For application onboarded through MOD, these should be included in the specification file under **parameters**

-Then the config binding service will find all available IP addresses of
-services meeting the containers needs, and provide them to the container
-under your ``config_key``:
-
+For components delivered as Helm directly, it should be specified under **applicationConfig** section in values.yaml
 ::
 
-    // your configuration
-    {
-        "vbf-db" :                 // see above 
-            [IP:Port1, IP:Port2,…] // all of these meet your needs, choose one.
-    }
-
-Regarding ``<config binding service hostname>:<port>``, there is DNS
-work going on to make this resolvable in a convenient way inside of your
-container. 
-
-For all Kubernetes deployments since El-Alto, an environment variable ``CBS_CONFIG_URL`` will be exposed 
-by platform (k8s plugins) providing the exact URL to be used for configuration retrieval. 
-Application can use this URL directly instead of constructing URL from HOSTNAME (which refers to ServiceComponentName) 
-and CONFIG_BINDING_SERVICE env's.  By default, this URL will use HTTPS CBS interface
-
-If you are integrating with CBS SDK, then the DNS resolution and configuration fetch 
-are handled via library functions.
-
-Generated Application Configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The DCAE platform uses the component specification to generate the
-component’s application configuration provided at deployment time. The
-component developer should expect to use this configuration JSON in the
-component.

+    ves-fault:
+      dmaap_info:
+        topic_url:"http://message-router:3904/events/unauthenticated.SEC_FAULT_OUTPUT"
+      type: message_router

+      dmaap_info:
+        topic_url: "http://message-router:3904/events/unauthenticated.VES_MEASUREMENT_OUTPUT"
+      type: message_router
 
 
-The following component spec snippet (from String Matching):
+You can find  examples of topic and feed configuration used in DCAE components from charts under OOM repository - 
+https://github.com/onap/oom/tree/master/kubernetes/dcaegen2-services/components
 
-::
+Its recommended to follow similar topic construct for consistency across all DCAE Services. This will also enable using 
+ `SDK DMAAP Java Library 
+<https://docs.onap.org/projects/onap-dcaegen2/en/latest/sections/sdk/api.html>`__
+for easier integration.

-          ]
-       }
-
-These keys will always be populated whether they are empty or not. So
-the minimum configuration you will get, (in the case of a component that
-provides an HTTP service, doesn’t call any services, and has no streams,
-is:
-
-::
-
-        "streams_publishes":{},
-        "streams_subscribes":{},
-        "services_calls":{}
-
-Thus your component should expect these well-known top level keys.

 Policy Reconfiguration
 ----------------------
 
-Components must provide a way to receive policy reconfiguration, that
-is, configuration parameters that have been updated via the Policy UI.
-The component developer must either periodically poll the ConfigBindingService API
-to retrieve/refresh the new configuration or provides a script (defined in the :any:`Docker
-auxiliary specification <docker-auxiliary-details>`)
-that will be triggered when policy update is detected by the platform.
+
+Policy Framework based reconfiguration is supported via sidecar. The component owners are responsible for
+loading the required model and creating policies required. 
+
+Once the policies are created, the corresponding policy_id should be listed in the component_spec or helm charts override as below
+
+Component spec must include the policy_info object and list of policy_id to be retrieved 
+::
+  "policy_info":{
+    "policy": [
+    {
+      "node_label": "tca_policy_00",
+      "policy_model_id": "onap.policies.monitoring.cdap.tca.hi.lo.app",
+      "policy_id": "onap.vfirewall.tca"
+	},
+    {
+      "node_label":"tca_policy_01",

+      "policy_id":"onap.vdns.tca"
+    }
+    ]
+  }
+
+"node_label" is optional and can be ignored
+"policy_model_id" refers to model uploaded into policy framework
+"policy_id" refers to the instance of policy created for model specified.
+
+When the helm-charts are generated by DCAEMOD/Runtime, the charts will have following property defined in the values.yaml
+
+::
+  dcaePolicySyncImage: onap/org.onap.dcaegen2.deployments.dcae-services-policy-sync:1.0.1
+  policies:
+     policyID: |
+        '["onap.vfirewall.tca","onap.vdns.tca"]'
+
+When using dcaegen2-services-common templates, the presence of **policies** property will deploy policy-sidecar automatically which will 
+periodically pull configuration from Policy framework and make it available shared mountpoint to microservice container. 
+
+More information on Policy side car can be found on this wiki - https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Policy+function+as+Sidecar
