================================
Functionalities of VES OpenAPI Manager require communication with other ONAP components. Because of that, SDC
Distribution Client has been used as a library to achieve such a communication. There are two components required by
-application to work: SDC BE and Message Router. SDC Distribution Client provides communication with both of them when
+application to work: SDC BE and Kafka. SDC Distribution Client provides communication with both of them when
it's properly configured (for application configuration instruction refer to: :ref:`ves-openapi-manager-deployment` ).

prerequisites to work correctly:
1) File with OpenAPI schemas mappings.
-2) Access to two ONAP services: SDC BE and Message Router.
+2) Access to two ONAP services: SDC BE and Kafka.
These prerequisites are met by default when using Helm charts created for VES OpenAPI Manager in OOM. It's described in
more detail in *Helm chart* section.
1) Mounting ConfigMap with mapping file under */app/schema-map.json* path.
2) Proper setting environment variables to values described in section *Environment variables*. Mapping file path is set to point to mounted file and SDC BE URL is set to internal port available only from Kubernetes cluster.
-3) Setting Readiness check. It waits for other ONAP components to start: SDC BE, Message Router. VES OpenAPI Manager Pod will not start until they are not ready.

Local deployment
----------------
requires exposing ports of some services on lab, creating local port tunneling and running VES OpenAPI Manager (using
docker-compose or IDE e.g. IntelliJ).
-It's described in more detail in the README in project repository (`README <https://github.com/onap/dcaegen2-platform-ves-openapi-manager/blob/master/README.md>`_).
