+# O-RAN-SC Non-RealTime RIC DMaaP Mediator Producer
+
+This product is a producer of Information Coordinator Service (ICS) jobs for polling topics in DMaaP Message Router (MR) and pushing the messages to a consumer.
+
+The producer takes a number of environment variables, described below, as configuration.
+
+>- INFO_PRODUCER_HOST **Required**. The host for the producer. Example: `http://mrproducer`
+>- LOG_LEVEL Optional. The log level, which can be `Error`, `Warn`, `Info` or `Debug`. Defaults to `Info`.
+>- INFO_PRODUCER_PORT Optional. The port for the product. Defaults to `8085`.
+>- INFO_COORD_ADDR Optional. The address of the Information Coordinator. Defaults to `http://enrichmentservice:8083`.
+>- MR_HOST Optional. The host for the DMaaP Message Router. Defaults to `http://message-router.onap`.
+>- MR_PORT Optional. The port for the DMaaP Message Router. Defaults to `3904`.
+
+The file `configs/type_config.json` contains the configuration of job types that the producer will support.
+
+ {
+ "types":
+ [
+ {
+ "id": The ID of the job type, e.g. "STD_Fault_Messages",
+ "dmaapTopicUrl": The topic URL to poll from DMaaP Message Router, e.g. "events/unauthenticated.SEC_FAULT_OUTPUT/dmaapmediatorproducer/STD_Fault_Messages"
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+
+At start up the producer will register the configured job types in ICS and also register itself as a producer supporting these types.
+
+Once the initial registration is done, the producer will constantly poll MR for all configured job types. When receiving messages for a type, it will distribute these messages to all jobs registered for the type. If no jobs for that type are registered, the messages will be discarded. If a consumer is unavailable for distribution, the messages will be discarded for that consumer.
