NONRTRIC

ONAP:
- tasks are now M4 ready (but not yet passed)
- Thanks to Samsung team especially for help with OOM and CSIT tests
  - Need to add more CSIT - and probably should use robot framework ...
  - Also need to improve commenting & descriptions in JIRA!
- Need to improve documentation
OSC:
- Starting work on A1 Enrichment Information coordination function - will be very simple initially!
- Need to work on a simple rApp catalog - Cherry reqmnt from RSAC (AT&T)
  - Added to backlog
  - Will likely leverage existing work in ONAP ...
- Will soon starting testing A1 functions from ONAP
  - All documentation will also need to be updated!
Cannot work on A1-P v2.0 yet - 60 day IPR cool-off period is not yet complete. Initial code ready but cannot be pushed yet.
Samsung requesting clarity on how to config with configMap vs Consul etc
- @John Keeney (Ericsson EST)
  - Configuring using consul was previously supported when A1 Policy Management Service was optionally deployable as a DCAE service in OSC.
    Now in ONAP A1 Policy management is deployed as a standalone Service, so Consul is alot more difficult to set up (and would add a deployment-time hard requirement for Consul/DCAE configuration)
    When K8S ConfigMaps are used the functionality that would be provided by Consul is also not needed
    So, Consul/CBS is still possible but not configured or tested in ONAP - k8s configmap should be used instead.
  - Suggestion ConfigMap does not allow dynamic update in ONAP ... (Note: 23/9/20 Clarified that this works as expected after a short delay)

OAM

@Martin Skorupski
- Still struggling with 3GPP copyright issues ....
RIC Dashboard: No update
Mentioned the need to examine test coverage in RIC dashboard
- @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Also need to work on test coverage in NON-RT-RIC dashboard ... Of course backend (Java) is easy, but unsure about the graphical parts ...

SIM

@Alex Stancu
- E2 SIM: Ron is adding E2 SIM files today (?) so can really make progress now
- O1 SIM: Need a new JIRA ticket for new VESS version
