• TOC:

  • Last week's TOC (Thursday):
  • This week's TOC (Thursday):

• OSFG: (Martin Skorupski)

  • Discussing plans for upcoming OSFG opensource meeting May 23rd (After OAI summer workshop) in Kista Sweden
    
    • Would like to have some demos & technical discussion there too. 
    • Not sure how long the workshop will run on Friday. 

• RSAC (Martin Skorupski )
  • Minutes: RSAC Meeting notes
  • Energy saving use case: (fransiscus bimo)
    • Discussion End-to-End Integration
    • Will discuss PM format & delivery at tomorrows RSAC ... File-based or Streamed?
      • Some old work on streamed: PM Streaming
      • File-based solution could use existing NONRTRIC RAN-PM solution
      • Could possibly use NONRTRIC DMaapAdapter to present events as DME job - but would probably needs some work. And a collector would be needed too (if not using VES collector)
      • Could possibly translate existing data format to file-based? Seems to be interval-based periodic data, so should be possible? 

OAM (Martin Skorupski)

• Discussed current backlog:
  
  • OAM-429 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • Creating a new sprint plan
• Working on integrated docker-compose based deployment
  
  • https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=oam.git;a=tree;f=solution

NONRTRIC (John Keeney (Ericsson EST))

• Updating ONAP A1-Controller
  
  • https://gerrit.onap.org/r/q/project:ccsdk%25252Foran
  • https://lf-onap.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DW/pages/129957892/O-RAN+A1+Policies+in+ONAP+Paris
• Working on SMO Deployment
  
  • Combined lots of existing charts - now working together (ONAP, NONRTRIC, RANPM, TEIV) 
    • Alot of work needed to have all previous deployments using same underlying common functions - esp Kafka.
    • Current work in progress : https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/it/dep/+/14289
    • Need to document this better - wiki page, Jira etc.
  • Will try add Nephio later
  • Need to examine to integrate AIMLFW charts https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/gitweb?p=aiml-fw%2Faimlfw-dep.git;a=summary 
  • Also need to consider how to include existing SMO project functions e.g. Tacker
  • Will Services be available outside (Sridhar Rao, Aravindhan Ayyanathan (Ericsson EST))? 
    • Inside cluster all services can now use FQDN - not node-ports.
    • Services should also be register in Service Exposure Manager to be used via API gateway & discoverable
    • Eventually services may be discoverable / exposed outside cluster - e.g. ref CAMARA etc.

rApps & packages

• Sridhar Rao Any chance of updating existing old/legacy rApps to current rApp format?
  
  • https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/admin/repos/q/filter:nonrtric/rapp
  • John Keeney (Ericsson EST) No current plan. Was planning to deprecate & remove.
  • Sridhar: Might be able to find some help for that
  • Note: Current rApp package is not spec compliant  - it is an internal format only (post onboarding) We eagerly await a standardised rApp format from O-RAN.
