  • Release tasks: documentation, wiki updates, branching & version updates, etc.

  • Hope to have the PM demo (see below) in next week (or 2) - before F release.

• Otherwise As per last week:

  • Finalizing ONAP J release for A1 Policy Management Service

  • Working on e2e PM data - making it available over pre-R1 DME (OSC NONRTRIC) Information Coordination Service)

    • Hope to have a demo/discussion next week ? (@Björn Magnusson )

  • Working on PoC Service Exposure - with a view towards R1

  • ONAP Kohn requirements
    
    

    • Continue working on ONAP A1-Policy Functions

      • https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/O-RAN+A1+Policies+in+ONAP

    • Will work on ONAP SON use case
      
      

      • Topics:  (With @N.K. Shankaranarayanan , @Vishal Varvate , @Liam Fallon  & whole SON use case team :-) )

      • Helping add (extensible) A1 Policy support in RANSim (hopefully reuse parts of OSC A1-SIM functions) 

      • Supporting use of A1-PolicyManagementService for A1 Policy manipulation

      • Re-Packaging usecase as an ONAP "Automation Composition" (similar to an rApp)

        • https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Automation+Composition+Management%3A+Architecture+and+Design

        • Leverage the SON use case for requirements gathering & demonstrating rApp concepts

      • Add more logic to as ONAP Policies to to support loose coupling of O1/A1 decision making & coordination 

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

• Experimenting with E2 simualtor

• Team from Northeastern University (NS3 E2 sim) gerrit up to speed before starting with https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/sim/ns3-o-ran-e2
  
  

  • Is a new ICLA/CCLA needed? @Martin Skorupski to check with @Sridhar Rao

OAM (@Martin Skorupski)

O-DU (@Hariom Gupta @Vidhu (Deactivated))

• No Update

OSC Integration / INT (@James Li )

• Integration test environment

  • (See RSAC below re networking / clock issue)

  • Working with LF for Jenkins jobs for it/dep to maybe automate some verification tests etc. (e.g. healthcheck)

    • Ref https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/ORAN/O-RAN+Developer%27s+Guide+to+CI+Resources+and+Processes+at+the+LF#ORANDeveloper'sGuidetoCIResourcesandProcessesattheLF-JenkinsJobConfiguration

    • SMO deployment already has some of this ....

      • More than just SMO though ... also simulators, nonrtric, oam, etc,

    • Samples can be found in the ci-management repo https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=ci-management.git;a=tree

      • Suggestion to put tests in scripts (e.g. the Pytion SDK used in the SMO deployment) and hav a simple jenkins job that invokes the script.

        • e.g. see verify job it-dep-smo-install in https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=ci-management.git;a=blob;f=jjb/it-dep/it-dep.yaml which builds a docker image from docker file https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=it/dep.git;a=blob;f=ci/Dockerfile-smo-install which in turn invokes script https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=it/dep.git;a=blob;f=bin/verify-smo-install

    • PTLs should now (soon) have commit access

      • Ref https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ci-management/+/8407 as a template for PTLs to add themselves.
