      • Related to https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/nonrtric/plt/ranpm/+/13974 from Sridhar Rao ?
      • Don't think a new repo is needed. Will try incorporate changes into existing functionality.
      • Since datafilecollector can run multiple instances, should be okay to have multiple formats for different instance. Controlled by a config option?
    • Alex Stancu & Sridhar Rao still comparing notes, and Aravindhan Ayyanathan (Ericsson EST) & John Keeney (Ericsson EST) examining Sridhar's PR (above) to try merge it into NONRTRIC RANPM.
    • Email from Sridhar Rao about issue startingRANPM docker-setup  charts due to a version problem with OPA.
      • Leads to topic creation failure due to un-authorized.
      • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) will investigate further & create a ticket if needed.
      • Sridhar Rao suggests pinning OPA version to  0.70.0-envoy-12 
• Aravindhan Ayyanathan (Ericsson EST) working on integrating Sridhar Rao & Alex Stancu PM file & ves collector format.
  • Will work on this for this release - Making good progress - Done!

  • Making good progress on this - and would like to be able to release charts.

  • Lots of small updates in K-Release & ongoing. Focus on ingestion adapters in this release.

OSC Integration / INT (fransiscus bimo )

• Minutes: https://lf-o-ran-sc.atlassian.net/wiki/display/IAT/Current+Meetings
• Looking at contributing about Intent Management
  
  • Requires a capability store to describe rApp capailities
    
    • Service/API Registry from SME in NonRTRIC? 
      • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) - Really only for APIs - doesn't really describe capabilities in a way usefull for Intent Management 
        • e.g. "SupportedFeatures" SME/Capif response - but that field is specific for a single exposure. Bit mask field - so likely is not a plain test string that could be reused.
        • e.g. in TEIV - again unlikely to be useful, since TEIV data model is specifically targeting topology (with yang extension)
        • e.g. in rApp Manager - but this is only for rApps then - cannot capture capabilites for other services, e.g. SMOSs
        • So might need a dedicated capability store? (Some advantages to using a semantic/RDF store ...? Or maybe CPS if yang based data? )  - depends on type/format of data
