    • Looking for updates for different workstreams ...  starting this week

NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

• Updating sonar scans and related updates to improve results: making good progress

• Making good progress on rApp manager.
  
  

  • Demo This week: See below: (@Aravindhan Ayyanathan) 

• 3PP dependency updates & addressing vulnerability - lots to do - progressing slowly
  
  

  • No update this week

• OpenAPI-first in A1-PMS & ICS

  • Change from code→openapi→docs to openapi → code-stubs & docs

  • To better align with R1 specs as they mature

  • To improve expressiveness of docs etc.

  • Almost all working now - no functional change visible, but lots of work!

• Some changes in A1-Mediator in near-RT-RIC plt in H-Release.

  • Meeting planned with Near-RT-RIC team tomorrow.

  • Further investigation needed re effects on A1-PMS/ICS & A1-SIM

  • Looks like OSC_v2.1.0. A1-AP (P) profile will b deprecated

    • Will phase out support A1-SIM and A1-PMS in coming releases, when A1-Mediator moves to spec version of A1-AP

  • Need to verify current implementation are fully spec compliant

  • Working on Pairwise test - will be ready as A1-Mediator implementation continues (few weeks)

    • Received info on how to start A1-Mediator in standalone mode - easier to test.

• Updates from RTD config changes - Change in every repo & multiple branches!

  • Done

SIM (@Alex Stancu)

O-DU @Vidhu (Deactivated))

• @Vidhu (Deactivated) Is OAM project's SMO deployment (docker compose) still valid? Also need to co-deploy OAM, SIM, near-RT-RIC, NONRTRIC, rest of SMO. 
  
  

  • @Martin Skorupski Now this only contains OAM & SIM functions - not NONRTRIC etc

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) will look at latest docker-compose in OAM, may be able to to have a nonrtric docker-compose with just A1-PMS and ICS to work alongside OAM docker compose?

  • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Suggest using SMO helm charts in IT/DEP (but these do not have latest updates from OAM & SIM? @Martin Skorupski)
