      • https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/NONRTRIC 

      • Still investigating issues ...
        
        

        • Links with page 'name' seems to work, but links with page 'id' or 'number' is not working.

          • Hope liunk redirection for 'named' pages will continue to work.

        • Some issues with User IDs - some duplication.

        • Some navigation changes ... e.g. top 'links'/navigation is different. e.g. 'Projects' link at top of page no longer there.

        • PlantUML plugin not working.

      • Possible issues:

        • Links will break, esp cross-site links (where full url is given - e.g. last week's meeting minutes page urls: https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=231407794 & https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=125043203)

        • User accounts need to be mapped or re-created on Atlassian cloud site - and people may already have accounts there that are difficult to map to LF-ID etc.

        • It is likely that recordings/ demos/ presentations / documents etc stored in current wiki may become unavailable?

          • I think recordings are OK

  • This week's TOC (in 2 days):

    • No major topic planned yet (AFAIK)

• OSFG:

  • No Update

• Still working away on issue from previous weeks:

  •  A1-Controller

    • NBI Issues: Last Week WG2 R1 spec for Nov release changes from March version (not backwards-compatible)

      • May pull/remove the recent ONAP New Delhi & OSC J-Release versions of A1-Policy Management Service - which implements the Mar'24 version of the spec.

      • Will move direct to July Train version - currently been voted on in O-RAN Alliance WG2 as Maintenance-/ Bug-Fix-Release in next few weeks.

      • Do not want to support a version that has only been released for a couple of weeks then immediately deprecated.

      • May cause disruption to users that have already adopted the New-Delhi or J-Release versions

    • Fixing a bug in A1-PMS in ONAP & OSC - Where 'transient' Policies were being deleted when a service is deleted.

      • Fix available & preparing tests & patch releases for ONAP (London, Montreal, New-Delhi) & OSC (J at least & hopefully older)

  • Service Manager

    • Still working on adding boot-strap service exposures at SMO start-up - but its proving a bit more difficult than expected.

    • Manual registration via API is still working fine - but currently all Services need to be explicitly registered rather than auto-registered.

    • Hope to have a working solution soon.

  • Still Working to improve API documentation generation from OpenAPI defns.

  • Release K Planning:

    • No major update this week ... but will continue with more focus on demonstrators - esp aiming towards next F2F

• @subhash Hope to get started soon on integrated demo with AIMLFW & NONRTRIC

  • Would like to start drafting some wiki content.

  • Can discuss more this week - and more discussion at RSAC next week.

• No update this week - @Alex Stancu - away this week.

• Working on wiki updates to update model links etc.

• Still investigation updates to 3GPP v18

      • e.g. Cloud Model placeholder at:

        • https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-smo-teiv/en/latest/data-models-guide.html

        • https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=smo/teiv.git;a=tree;f=teiv/src/main/resources/models

      • Want/ Need community engagement to use/experiment with models to help accelerate standardisation in WG10.

    • Working to add support for grouping/collection in registry & api

    • Working to add tagging/classifiers/decorators to help markup & expressive retrieval of data from TEIV

    • Need to start working with others in OSC & beyond to help populate TEIV registry with data from their 'sources of truth'

    • Hope to make alot of use of TEIV in demos/rapps in K-Release

    • Refs:

      • doc: https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-smo-teiv/en/latest/data-models-guide.html

      • code: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=smo/teiv.git;a=tree;f=teiv/src/main/resources/models

• Minutes: 2024 RSAC Meetings 

• Will continue on Integration & E2E usecase

  • Release "L"

  • Release "K"

• Will continue working on Demos for O-RAN F2F in Montreal.

  •  Plan & ideas on Release "K" wiki page

• Would like to initially look at existing use cases from older releases - and update to current capabilities & specs?

  • Will likley be on Release "L" page. 

• No update this week

• No update this week.

• @Deena Mukundan
  
  

  •    Question about CAPIF & Keycloak integration

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) unlikley to work more on this in this release

      • Limited bandwidth

    • Likely Keycloak will be used wider than just in CAPIF, so we think Keycloak should be a standalone function, and just use CAPIF as a registry

    • Ref: Release H: Coordinated Service Exposure & Release H: Technical spikes & Release H - CAPIF

• @guru raja

  • What is status of Slice Assurance use case / rApp?

    • @John Keeney (Ericsson EST) Worked on this use case in earlier releases:

      • O-DU Slice Assurance usecase  (Release E)

      • Release F - O-DU Slice Assurance usecase

    • ... but it could not be considered a 'proper' rApp, and the logic was very simplistic.

    • Hopefully we will be able to re-visit this use case in this release and reformulate

    • Would need to double check O1 capabilities of existing O-DU options

    • A wider 'revisit old use cases' activity will hopefully form part of Release L in RSAC.
