ONAP Use cases (@N.K. Shankaranarayanan)

• Long discussion last week!

• TS 28.532 seems to indicate that a combination of href & path parameters should give enough info to extract objectClass and objectInstance of the source of any CM change.

• Will update the sample message in https://jira.onap.org/browse/INT-2180 && https://jira.onap.org/browse/INT-2181 

• Work in ONAP CPS can be tracked at https://jira.onap.org/browse/CPS-1407 && https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/CPS-1434%3A+VES+Message+to+update+CPS+DB 

ONAP / OSC / O-RAN Alliance: Cooperation & Alignment

• @N.K. Shankaranarayanan: Follow on from previous weeks: Lots of discussion at ONAP TSC.

• No convergence yet, but lots of interest. Ref TSC Minutes: https://wiki.onap.org/display/Meetings/2023+TSC+MEETING+MINUTES 

  • Will aim for cross-discussions at RSAC / ONAP-ReqSubCom level.

    • @Timo Perala will introduce ONAP-ReqSubCom at RSAC call next week - Discussed with @Former user (Deleted) & @David Kinsey [AT&T] 

Questions / Comments / AOB:

• @N.K. Shankaranarayanan Any update of getting PM data?
  
  

  • OSC SMO project have a VES collector which places messages in an InFluxDB - can be visualized.

  • OSC NONRTRIC project (DMaaP Adapter) allows DMaaP & Kafka messages be filtered & passed to subscribers (rApps) via ICS (Information Coordinator Server)

  • OSC NONRTRIC also Demonstrated File-based PM collection & filtering & delivery to subscribers (rApps) via ICS (Information Coordinator Server)

    • Also supports other types of data streamed from S3 data storage

  • Also experimenting with collecting any DMaaP/Kafka messages in InfluxDB using a Kafka Connector - not specific to VES messages.

  • No clear proposal for a coordianted/multivendor/spec'ed DME way to get data from datastore (e.g. influxDB)

    • Awaiting some more clarity for rApp subscribers/queries from R1 DME spec in WG2

    • Awaiting some clarity from WG10 about intra-SMO (inter SMOF) interfaces from WG10.
