+The Policy Agent maintains a transient repository of the following items to support R-Apps:
- * All NearRT RICs in the network. This information is configured using the ONAP CDS database (which is using the Cloudify Consul database).
+ * All Near-RT RICs in the network. This information is configured using the ONAP CDS database (which is using the Cloudify Consul database).
* All Policy types for all NearRT RICs
* All configured Policy instances in the network
-It provides an NBI for the R-Apps (and for the dashboard) for policy management. This is a REST API.

As an option, policy management can also be done via asynchronous messages through ONAP/Dmaap.
The NBI provides support for an R-APP to locate the correct NearRT RIC based on identifiers as defined in O1.
On its southbound side the agent can connect to a number of different A1 providers:
- * Directly to the NonRT RIC:
+ * Directly to the Non-RT RIC:
- OSC API, which is influenced by the A1 standard
- - The NonRT RIC simulator, which supports the A1 standard with a number of not yet CRs included.

* To an ONAP style controller.

-Dashboard Overview
-===================
-
-The NonRT RIC Dashboard is a graphical user user interface that enables the user to manage the Policies in the network. The dashboard interacts with the Policy agent via a REST API.
-The dashboard generates its GUI from JSON schemas in a model driven fashion.
-
-The dashboards consists of a back end implemented as a Java Springboot application and a fronted developed using the Angular framework.
