NOTE: The native policy type is already loaded in policy framework during installation, hence a user can directly deploy native policies in respective pdp engines without a need to create policy type first.

3. PAP Enhancements

PDP Engines must now register with PAP Groups must be provisioned to support the new policy types for native policies they support in order for policies to be deployed by PAP to the PDP's. This will require an additional entry to be added into supported policy types list to indicate which native policy type each specific PDP engine can support.

3.1 Example of PDP Register

Only change needed is to add a new supported policy type to PDP status message when it registers itself with PAP. For XACML PDP, new policy type "onap.policies.controlloop.native.Xacml" should be added. Likewise, new policy type "onap.policies.controlloop.native.Drools" should be added when Drools PDP registers itself with PAP. For example

3.1 PDP Group & SubGroup

The Like PDP registration message, the same native policy type should be added into supported policy types list to indicate which type of native policies each pdpSubGroup PDP SubGroup can support.

Below is one example to deploy a PDP groupof PDP Group with native policies support for xacml, drools & apex engines.
