NONRTRIC (@John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

• As per last week:

  • Initial proposals for J Release are ongoing:

    • Tentative headline goals:

      • Continue work on rApp Manager - as a focal point for tying together alot of other existing activities

        • Working on some sample rApps. e.g. See Release J: Simple rApp using Hello World Microservice

      • Continue work on Service Manager - again pulling together alot of work on Service Exposure in previous releases

        • may be able to get an early alpha version released at I Maintenance Release time - running out of time on this.

      • Continue maturing the A1-Policy Controller function (ref ONAP) - including a potential new NBI (v3) to achieve R1 alignment

      • May need to de-prioritise some of the older less-used NONRTRIC functions - we welcome others in the community to help take these on if interested.

      • Need to study how/if we can achieve R1-DME alignment. Specs continue to diverge from our implementation - with alot of effort need to align.  We welcome contributors to help here.

  • Maintenance I-Release

    • Running out of time .... 

      • Still have an issue with A1 compatibility between A1-PMS and near-RT-RIC A1 Mediator. Hoping to make progress & fix together with A1-Mediator team for Maintenance Release. 

        • https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/browse/NONRTRIC-939

        • https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/browse/RIC-999

        • https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/browse/RIC-1031

      • Maybe Service Manager - TBC

    • We may not be able to make the Maintenance Release Deadline. Will know more by TOC call on Thursday

  • Working through reviews for changes to it/dep charts. Main focus on A1-PMS configuration functionality & state. Still verifying

    • Very close to ready to merge now. Further changes will be needed later (e.g. A1 controllers across ONAP & OSC etc).
