ONAP - OSC

A1 Enrichment Information Coordinator in ONAP? Pawel Slowikowski John Keeney

• Pawel Slowikowski Will enrichment Information Coordinator function be upstreamed from OSC to ONAP?
  • John Keeney Not sure. Probably not. Not seeing any requirement for it in ONAP, or beyond the need to re-use the function as available in OSC. It has not OSC-specific requirements so there is no reason that it cannot be used in other environments. 
  • Martin Skorupski Perhaps there is a need in ONAP? Pawel Slowikowski Not sure
  • Pawel Slowikowski If one needs a commercial NONRTRIC based on ONAP, unclear how to coordinate improvements etc. John Keeney No current plan for a Non-RT-RIC in ONAP. This would need to come through requirements sub-committee etc.  Currently Non-RT-RIC function is homed in OSC.  No requirement for a commercial deployment seen yet - but there may be a need for any commercial deployer to consider licensing & IPR considerations.

ONAP Topology Service/Model Andy Mayer

• Martin Skorupski Created a new ticket in Jira to kick of the modelling activity in ONAP: https://jira.onap.org/browse/ONAPMODEL-35  ONAP internal topology model
• Andy Mayer https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Abstract+Topology+Model & Discussed during Modelling Sub-Committee meeting. Planned modelling activity (Papyrus) for Honolulu timeframe. Discussions should kick off soon via wiki & ONAP ModCom meetings. (Mondays 8am EST)

ONAP CSIT Functions

• Lasse Kaihlavirta Updating CSIT in ONAP.
  • https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=93001989
  • Tests moved to project repos & run more often as part of reviews (each merge?).
  • John Keeney Hard to know whats currently actually being tested in CSIT & Integration tests. Looking forward to examining whats new & updating to it. (In both ONAP CCSDK & OSC later?)
  • Lasse Kaihlavirta CUrrently demonstrated in CCSDK Distribution in ONAP.  ANd no longer a need for Robot if not needed.
  • user-4594e Reporting etc from Robot is good. What feedback will happen here?
  • Lasse Kaihlavirta Test shell script must return success (0) to add +1
  • John Keeney Is this similar to mvn verify?
  • John Keeney Will these tests be lightweight - current CSIT test can be quite complicated? Lasse Kaihlavirta shouldn't be too long < 30min user-4594e Will put alot of load on infrastructure Lasse Kaihlavirta Will only run at reviews, so much fewer builds/test if no commits e.g. no daily test.
  • Lasse Kaihlavirta Also forces the docker build which means bugs are identified much earlier too
  • Lasse Kaihlavirta Martin Skorupski Also useful for small integration tests across functions ... ?
  • Lasse Kaihlavirta Of course tests should be run locally before pushing too!
  • user-4594e Any chance of a video / demo / walkthrough ..? Lasse Kaihlavirta TBH no.
