The openais.conf man page is not sufficient?

Also, the AMF service is not working and there had been no effort to
get it working for quite some time.

Are you specifically referring to the SAForum specifications of the
AIS services? Those explain the role of each service and its API. In
that regard, the services are simply APIs. They allow developers to
write highly-available applications and use those APIs as needed.

I believe the SAForum web site has some general information about AIS
services. Did you check there?
