• We will maintain this slot for ONAP Alignment, and try flag issues/question to/from SMO meetings.
• See OSC SMO Project meeting notes

OSC Project roundup:

News from OSC TOC call this week

• https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/TOC/
• M3 deadline extended .. 3 weeks? Perhaps combine M3 & M4?
• Processes to support SCCL license is still ongoing & under discussion
  • https://www.o-ran.org/sccl
• For E Release Slicing Assurance use case ... Can we use 3GPP yang models for O-DU OAM?
  • Unclear
  • Still have backup "Plan B" to reuse/extend "Hello World" model from D release

NONRTRIC (John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

• No update this week

SIM (Alex Stancu)

• TLS call home now working in SIM (ODL Silicon+ )
  
  • (Bug? SSH Netconf callback connections drop after 10 minutes if no messages)

OAM (Martin Skorupski)

• Creating "Plan B" yang model for slicing use case (see above)
• Working on WG10 CR for PM streaming (+ N.K. Shankaranarayanan David Kinsey [AT&T] )
  • Timelines too tight for November train ... Will continue in next train

O-DU (Hariom Gupta)

• Vidhu Still blocked re Yang model decisions

Using 3GPP models 

• Discussion: Martin Skorupski Timo Perala N.K. Shankaranarayanan John Keeney (Ericsson EST)
  • Still a lack of clarity about how to use 3GPP licensed models
  • Approach until now has been to stay model-driven (so don't reproduce any existing specs/models)
    • But this cannot continue esp. in OSC when O1 builds so much on 3GPP specs and functions that are model-specific are now in development.
  • Is problem for ONAP & OSC the same?
    • Yes!
    • Perhaps we could escalate to LF?
      • Timo Perala - Can raise at ONAP TSC & maybe include Kenny Paul (Deactivated) to see if ONAP can ask LF legal can help?

ONAP SMO deployment options

• Christophe: Working with David Johnson to reuse ONAP/OSC SMO deployment/package in POWDER lab as a profile
  • Working setup now. Tweaking configurations to reduce footprint size a little for smaller deployments
• Next step - aiming for meaningful automated end-to-end tests

Q&A

• Pawan Kumar, Janak Kulkarni: New to OSC/ONAP integration & interested in getting up to speed   (Welcome!!! )
  
  • How's progress with rApps & R1?
    • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Neither are very well defined yet ... but in OSC & ONAP we are trying to guess at some of the parts that will eventually be useful for supporting R1 & rApps ...
      • App LCM
      • uService LCM & management (for rApps with microservices)
      • ONAP Tosc-defined Control Loop evolution (for rApps with multiple constituent parts including non-microservice parts, e.g. policies, workflows, configurations, templates, blueprints, etc)
      • ONAP SMO services - which may become/inform R1 services (e.g. CPS, Data collection, File collection, VES termination, Topology & inventory, Orchestration etc)
      • Service exposure & discovery & authorization & access control (which will likely be useful for R1 - service independent)
      • App sandboxing & controlling App <-> SMO interactions (which will likely be useful for R1 enforcement)
      • etc ...
  • Attempting to get ONAP & NonRTRIC & nearRTRIC functions running
    • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Please check out the wiki pages for details on how to run the functions, & any issues please use the mailing lists discuss@lists.o-ran-sc.org & onap-discuss@lists.onap.org is you have any issues.
