  2. RIC-360 any progress. Discussion with Nune and Nithin kept?
    1. deployment script changes (Abdulwahid) related to helm3. Discussed with Felix (onboarder (felix)  changes still needed).
    2. appmgr changes no discussion → Nune
    3. Thoralf to invite meeting with Alok + Sri + ramesh (still this weeks)
    4. Status: working on go code changes in appmgr
  3. RIC-509
    1. subitems being worked on by LF next.
    2. Status: Created Jira tickets for each component under the EPIC: (e.g. RIC-648, RIC-649, RIC-650) & submitted Gerrit change requests to these three tickets.
  4. RIC-109: since Jussi on holiday pls. involve Timo T (another committer for dbaas). Status:Converted the k8 manifest files into helm chart. Creating documentation other artifacts as discussed on the call with ORAN SPOCs.
  5. RIC-249 (of RIC-95) currently blocked by XML-to-PER conversion of RIC_SERVICE_UPDATE_ACK.
    1. Thoralf still to test the 1-week old code that Rahul wrote (RIC-248)
    2. This now hangs with Adi.
    3. Also another issue is how an empty RIC Service Query/update would look like. ASN.1 is also a bit unclear.
  6. RIC-203 is still in team S1 or currently nobody planning to work on this?
    1. Rahul might be able to work on this, but earliest decision on this in next meeting.
  7. RIC-150 (RIC benchmark) Status: Able to exchange RIC Subscription Request & Response between HW xAPP and E2 Simulator (Action type - Report). Now working on handling RIC Indication message exchnage between HW xAPP & E2 Simulator
  8. RIC-149 (more tests) Status: 1) RIC deployment Testsuite: RIC deployment testing is done. Need to send the code for review. 2) Healthcheck Testsuite: O1mediator issue is fixed. Created interface.robot and verified the log for this component. dbaas - ping pong test is in progress. submgr - Unable to proceed due to ClusterIP issue. We sent query to Dave on this. 3) ETE Testsuite : robotxapp deployment is in progress.

2020-09-15

Recording: near_rt_ricplatform_and_ricapp_meeting_2020_09_15.mp4

  1. Schedule for R6 (second half of Cherry: Jira usage conventions§6).
  2. demos for demo day (next week Thursday = Sep-24 in 2020-09-24 Cherry R6.1 - CANCELLED)
  3. Subhash: move on with exact contribution.
    1. [1] Higher abstraction level in xAPP framework SDK (golang) [https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/RIC-366]
      1. We discussed possible abstraction of this on API level. Matti said one person on AT&T side has been working on this before. We need to set up a separate meeting on this: Subhash, Nune, Matti, Neeraj Gupta (HCL), Vaishali (HCL), h_w.park@samsung.com, Akash (bouncer xapp) Identify new capabilities that we can implement on xapp framework side. Focus on things not yet implemented in any xapp frameworks. presentation by  h_w.park@samsung.com on what is planned. Aim for 10am EDT (NewYork) on Monday, Sep-21
      2. RIC-80 is already in progress by Antti teams.
      3. general goal xApps should only rely on E2SM, but do not need to touch E2AP messages (using ASN.1). So, a good abstraction would allow xApp implementation without ever touching an ASN.1 compiler if an E2SM would be defined in something else than ASN.1. We can discuss this further in the Monday meeting.
    2. [2] Support for E2AP RESET procedure  [https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/RIC-383]
    3. [3] Developing version of xAPP [https://jira.o-ran-sc.org/browse/RIC-120]
      1. existing "hello world" is C++, but does more than just saying "Hello world", e.g. has own service model. Additional demo xapps in go/python are welcome. For go see in xapp-framework for Go for some skeleton code.
      2. for example, it would be good to have E2SM support for "hello world" E2SM in the simulator.
  4. Alok RIC-509 works better with Ceph (instead of NFS). Meeting to discuss how to integrate this to be called by Alok.
  5. Akash asked about the hello world xApp in terms of a new bouncer xApp (for benchmarking). Pls. contact Matti to get you in contact with hello world expert. Akash to attend also the Monday meeting.
  6. (post-meeting addition): Ron now merged the patch into the E2 simulator: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/sim/e2-interface/+/4700 Work on the simulator can now continue.
  7. (post-meeting addition): RIC-360: continued work on appmgr // RIC-509: testing JJB templates in sandbox (sandbox permissions obtained) // RIC-150 Able to send RIC Subsription Request message from Bouncer xAPP to E2 terminator. Working on handling of the RIC Subsription request message at E2 terminator to E2SIM. Debuging is in progress. Able to exchange E2 Setup request and response. RIC-149: Ricdeployment Testsuite - existing issue got fixed except statefulset, working on this. Sent code modification to Dave and Bharath for review. Healthcheck Testsuite - Interface.robot files missing for few components got fixed and added keyword healthcheck for missing components as well. Working on dbaas, submgr related inerface.robot parameters to add and test. E2E Testsuite: Working robotxapp deployment using http post request using both manual and robot automation.
  8. RICAPP agenda: RICAPP Meetings.

  1. S1+S2 team any news?
    1. Rahul progressing on RIC-95. Thoralf will help with testing as E2 simulator is needed.
    2. Subhash interested in picking up items on near-RT RIC platform. Thoralf to send information package.
    3. Double-check progress on E2 simulator in simulator project. Action item-Matti: check with Ron. Make sure to to add copyright and license statement.
    4. RIC-372 (sdlpy now supports notifications) now done.
  2. H1 team any news?
    1. RIC-109 (helm/k8s upgrade) Working on Non NFS based cluster storage on k8s
    2. RIC-509: HCL to present output/status of RIC-509.
      1. analysed com-pylog project on sonarcloud using our a/c
      2. Matti noted that xApp's MC xapp has done the same. Always needs to involve LF support case. HCL to include Matti in discussion.
    3. RIC-360: Go lang based code changes in progress
    4. RIC-150: (e2e benchmarking) Working on the Bouncer xAPP Implementation. "successfully built the e2apv1sim code manually in the LAB and run the e2sim binary. The e2sim sending the E2 setup request message to RIC terminator. The RIC terminator received the E2 setup message and it is not sending the response to e2sim. Because, in decode part of E2 setup request message in RIC, some parameters(RANfunction_Item) are not handled in RIC side and it's giving the decode error."
    5. RIC-149 (testing): Started fixing up the health check of ric component testsuites with few missing keywords and missing riccomponent_interface.robot files. As we confirmed with Bharath and Dave we are proceeding to fix the healthcheck and e2e testsuites related issues. Status: In progress Issue: Currently working on this while adding a1mediator interface.robot file " <tpl ($content).AsConfig $>: error calling tpl: Error during tpl function execution for "a1mediator.robot". Due to this some component related files are not mounted to nanobot pod.

      1. no Jira tickets yet, but woudl like to focus on 
        1. K8S operator for day 2 operations, like scale-in and scale-out (but requires some thoughts on messaging) : RIC-1048
    2. I release theme for near-rt RIC was "RIC Platform Enhancements". What's it going to be for J?
      1. Thoralf's proposal based on current Jira list: "Make the platform more robust in handling E2AP, conflicts and A1"
    3. We mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 1H2024 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for J release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.
      1. committed (90% sure) and tentative (90...30% sure) items: subteam-n, subteam-h, subteam-p, subteam-s, subteam-utfpr, subteam-ag, subteam-cg, subteam-r, subteam-gs
      2. committed items only: all teams (committed) and all teams (committed + tentative).
      3. items that are known to require work, but are currently not in J release: link,  to include k8s version upgrade, clean up of pending issues.
    1. input for release candidates: leftovers and generally open items, RSAC

    3. We mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 1H2024 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for J release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.
      1. committed (90% sure) and tentative (90...30% sure) items: subteam-n, subteam-h, subteam-p, subteam-s, subteam-utfpr, subteam-ag, subteam-cg, subteam-r, subteam-gs

2023-12-19 demo meeting instead of the normal project meeting, same time slot

2023-12-05

Recording: link to zoom recording

  1. Every time: Check rule RC-4 (link) that all L or XL commits of the last two weeks have also new unit tests. This is our policy. link-to-reviews (gerrit filter instructions // gerrit t-shirt-sizing).
    1. Last checked on 2023-09-26
      1.  https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/xapp-frame-rust/+/11898 OK (simple alarms, but we created RIC-1028 for a more general test mock framework)
      2. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ric-dep/+/11743 OK, since deployment acts as test
      3. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ricdms/+/12025 ok, lots of code, but very generic. Naman will try to add test case
      4. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ricdms/+/12032 OK, only go.sum file
      5. https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/xapp-frame-rust/+/11895 OK (simple alarms, but we created RIC-1028 for a more general test mock framework)
  2. every second time: Review code coverage stats and blocker code smells
    1. We take a look at the two links in the beginning of this page: Code coverage reports..
    2. The list below is only working reports // Anybody volunteering to work with LF on making the code coverage CI to work again (there's still the old JVM version)
    3. Thoralf did this last on 2023-05-23:  we did not do this this time
  3. Every time: Check if there are new bug reports in JIRA: link
    1. RIC-1025 memory leak in routing manager
    2. RIC-1017 xapp-frame -  xapp-frame may not be able to successfully subscribe to messages
    3. RIC-1016 e2t sctp_params structure may not be initialized properly → Nokia

    4. RIC-1015 e2t too High default message size. → Nokia

    5. RIC-1014 e2t potential race condition in the `listener` function due to multiple `listener` threads. → Nokia

    6. RIC-1013 e2t e2term pod does not become ready. Possible stack/heap corruption 

    7. RIC-1002 (Nokia fixes) Abnormal signaling process cause E2Term crash (this could be a security issue)
    8. RIC-1001 CVE-2023-41627 RMR service should verify route tables - Alexandre will take a look

    14. RIC-915 dms_cli for installing xapp not working (raised by James)
    15. RIC-905 new (from PW) Issue in reporting the CLEAR ALARM as VES EVENT
    16. RIC-901 new (from PW) BUG FIX IN 'Get ALARM INFO’ NETCONF COMMAND
    17. RIC-896 xapps sending same msg type and sub id fails - details to be clarified
    18. RIC-894 long idle period (days) causes RMR connection breaks
    19. RIC-864 xapp-frame-cpp CI does not use Dockerfile and therefore uses Ubuntu18.04 (not 20.04) in build
    20. RIC-857 sporadically RMR takes multiple minutes before being "ready"
    21. RIC-852 Intermittent Issue with E2T: While setting up E2 setup request and response.
      1. 2021-12-21: Trying to get bandwidth for this during F release.
    22. RIC-837 RMR is not forwarding messages from E2T to E2M

    24. fixed:
  4. James: updates?
    1. 2023-09-12: requested from PTLs pair-wise testing. From Near-RT RIC point of view we hope for the non-RT RIC project to initiate testing with A1 mediator standalone version.
    2. 2023-09-26: This was presented in TOC (See link). Cases relevant for near-RT RIC:
      1. ODU-high and near-RT RIC (currently using stub).
      2. near-RT RIC and xApp (KPIMON/bouncer or maybe adding CCC xApp)
      3. near-RT RIC and non-RT RIC (A1) - next step on non-RT RIC side (A1 standalone mediator provided)
      4. James will check with Sunil on issues he has with the test cases
      5. ArgoCD used by Taiwan lab in some ONAP SMO  case and the engineers there where wondering if something similar could be done with OSC.
    3. 2023-10-24
      1. updates from O-RAN f-2-f:
        1. nephio and OAI discussion: Nephio team would like to add RAN components (OAI, OSC, and parts of the OSC SMO (via Seshu) into R2 (~Feb2024)
        2. OAI had three demos. One of them is about improving QoE with H release of near-RT RIC using some code copied from KPM and hello world xApps.
          1. see demo "oai-osc-ric-demo.mp4" in link and the demo session recording on the O-RAN web site (thoralf-todo)
          2. more discussion coming at the joint OSC/OAI workshop in Boston
        3. session on SCCL did make some progress in that WG10/WG6 understanding improved. Additional discussion scheduled under O-RAN umbrella for Oct-31.
      2. OSFG discussed on the super wireless footprint (matrial available at O-RAN OSFG)
    4.  2023-11-07
      1. James is working with Taiwan lab on making sure we have good coverage

      3. discussed with Bimo (Taiwan lab) on pair-wise testing
      4. discussed with John Keeney (non-rt ric ptl) and discussed A1 pairwise testing. Asked from Sunil what's best A1-policy using xApp. None exists on open-src side. Naman commented that for Policy the hello-world xApp (C++ likely) could be used (just requires RMR  route for policy type (must match the policy type that is created via curl)). James to contact Naman if help needed.
  5. Prashant's work in near-RT RIC(subteam-p)
    1. 2023-08-22, 2023-09-26. 2023-11-07: could not participate
    2. 2024-01-16
  6. Sunil updates (subteam-h)?
    1. 2023-09-12: can give update next time. Maybe 2 or 3 items to work on.
    2. 2023-11-07: Not in the call today
    3. 2023-11-21: no updates. Difficult to find engineers working on this.

  7. Subhash/Naman updates (subteam-s) ?
    1. 2023-08-29: no news, other than Naman working on the operator implementation.
    2. 2023-09-12:
      1. We had a meeting with John and Denis on non-rt RIC compatibility. Agreed in fixes for URL and policystatusobject type from integer→string (as per standard) → Naman.
      2. Thoralf to figure out a way to start A1 mediator standalone for CI testing
        1. Thoralf sent instructions to John → DONE
      3. current implementation of /data-delivery URL in A1 - need to check if >1 consumer of EI data (sent by non-RT RIC) works on our side.
      4. Naman also works on the operator implementation
    3. 2023-09-26:
      1. kubernetes operator new repo needed or not?
        1. xapp deployment → appmgr or ricdms
        2. ric platform → ric-dep (still work in progress) - check if operator can use helm chart defined by Abhijit.
      2. What happened to kserve adapter? → Subhash can check.
    4. 2023-11-07
      1. Naman presented his k8s operator work. Naman used Kubebuilder
      2. still working on operator to deploy RIC platform
    5. 2023-11-21:
      1. k8s operator commits - needs to be finalized.
    6. 2023-12-05: Naman gave an update on status of Samsung items
  8. Abhijit updates (subteam-ag) ?
    1. 2023-10-24:
      1. Abhijit and James release new base image: docker pull nexus3.o-ran-sc.org:10002/o-ran-sc/bldr-ubuntu22-c-go:0.1.0 → still to be made 1.0.0 → Reminder Abhijit Gadgil 
      2. no progress in review on the plain helm chart based deployment in https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ric-dep/+/11743 → to be merged by Thoralf Czichy 
      3. Abhjit raise RIC-1013 ... RIC-1017 for issues he has discovered. Thoralf to find someone to work on it → most assigned to Nokia
      4. 1 and 2 of RIC-1004 still be finailized this week. Rest to be moved to a new item.
      5. Sunil asked about the Rust xApp → ready with basic hello world scenario. Documentation is best placed into readme and  confluence.
  9. Cap Gemini updates (subteam-cg)? 
    1. 2023-11-07: after discussions on the topic we would like to proceed with
      1. Phase1: Conflict Manager (running as a platform component) without E2SM parsing which means that Conflict Manager feature will work only for Conflict Aware xApps. Interface between Conflict Aware xApp and Conflict Manager will be gRPC.

      2. Phase2: E2SM xApp support so that the Conflict Manager feature works for Conflict Unaware xApps as well.

      3. discuss-with-Sunil-on-when-and-how-in-terms-of-repo-creation → we agreed to come back to this in 1H2024
      4. TODO-thoralf-to-ask-Gunja-to-present- Thoralf
  10. Himanshu (subteam-gs) would like to work on RIC-963
    1. 2023-08-29: ready for merging once the CI problem (gofmt) is fixed. Can be merged together with a change in the helm chart (ric-dep). Default behavior is "strict order" (as currently). But config value can change to "any order".
    2. 2023-11-07: addressing review comments of https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/submgr/+/11681 tomorrow. Then we should be able to merge this.
    3. 2023-11-21: as discussed in teh beginning of the meeting. Review comment still being worked on. Once handled, pls. merge. And wer handle commits as piecemeal small items.
    4. 2023-12-05: RIC-963 seems to be ready. Himanshu still wants to test this with unordered IEs. Requires a minor addition in ric-dep repo for new config parameter.
  11. Dhiraj (subteam-r)
    1. 2023-08-22:
      1. checking compliance/license issues
      2. How are policy types created? xApps register by policy type and understands the schema that is bound to it. Non-RT RIC should create policies using the same schema (there's a GUI for this on non-RT RIC side).
    2. 2023-08-29:
      1. got clarity on license issues and now waiting for internal approval before publishing ipv6 releated changes
    3. 2023-11-07

      1. license topic still be discussed. Was working on an other project for last months

    4. 2023-12-05: moved the IPv6 item  to J release

  13. Nokia (subteam-n)
    1. RIC-997 postponed to J
  14. Demo
    1. We will use the project meeting slot for the demos
    2. Naman to demo k8s operator deployment of platform (xapp part already done) and also A1 creating a policy.
    3. Adding support for DU in E2T/E2M/RNIB - >thoralf can do if not Gunja.
  15. I release content
    1. we mark items that you are >90% sure (=”committed”) to work on during 2H2023 with your label, like subteam-n (Nokia), subteam-s (Samsung) and so on. Items that are proposed for I release but not “committed” we mark with subteam-n-proposal, subteam-s-proposal and so on. To ease usage I created a couple of filters for follow up. See §7.3 from Jira usage conventions.
    1. input for release candidates: left overs and generally open items, RSAC
    2. Sprint dates
      1. Sprint I release dev sprint 1: Aug-21 to Sep-10
      2. Sprint I release dev sprint 2: Sep-11 to Oct-1

Recording: near_rt_ric_platform_project_meeting_2020_07_07.mp4

  1. Recording of Jul-2 demo: TODO (pending Matti)
  2. Thoralf on holiday Jul-21. The Jul-7 meeting we still have normally. Matti (hiltunen@a...) to host the Jul-21 meeting.
  3. After discussion with xApp PTL (Matti), we will use the old existing empty repo "utils" as a general repo for small utility-like code. The first usage will be for RMR-to-VES mediator (event converter) "platform xapp". This work is done under RIC-420.
  4. discuss contributions by HCL .
    1. Assign to Alok Bhatt:

      1. ricp-integration RIC-360: plan and prototype helm upgrade with xApp manager, REC, RIC infrastructure

                      Which K8S version with Helm 3 support to move to? Is 1.18 confirmed? Yes

                      App owners with whom we need to work with for this co-existence of Helm 2 and 3 change and for doing post deployment check / sanity testing? xapp manager, it-dep, ric-dep, Schedule meeting with Lusheng and Felix, Abdulwahid.

      1. ricp-e2e RIC-509: Components supporting continuous integration infrastructure, e.g., static code analysis. Schedule meeting with Lusheng

      Pl share more info on LF CI/CD. Sonarcloud or SonarQube? Jenkins Job Builder / Chained CI?Schedule meeting with Lusheng

      1. DBaaS RIC-109: DB: study: SDL scaling with Redis cluster (instead of sentinel) Schedule meeting with Jussi.

      App owners with whom we need to work with for doing this before and after comparison for this move from Sentinel to Redis Cluster mode? Should be transparent to user

      Output format expected from this study, if any

      Assign to Sangeetha KR:

      1. ricp-e2e RIC-149: Define and implement automated test cases for flows to be defined early in Bronze-R4
      2. ricp-e2e RIC-150: Perform e2e RIC benchmarking

      Pl connect us with Bharath Balasubramanian on these items.

    2. Pl enable community lab access for us to work on these. → connect with Lusheng for how to use TLab.

    3. We manage this existing team mapping, but the items are assigned to Alok and Sangeetha.
  5. discuss contributions by Samsung
    1. For now, we would like to get your opinion regarding adding pub-sub feature to sdlpy/xapp-frame-py. As far as I know, this feature is already exists in sdlgo, but there seems to be no ticket related to this feature.

    2. This would be item RIC-372. Note that this is not related to xapp-frame-py, but to sdlpy only. Thoralf to reply to Timothy John Ebido. 
    3. item in JIRA to be assigned to him. Note that right now we have notifications only in go, but not in python or C++.
  6. ricapp meeting

2020-06-23

Recording: near_rt_ric_platform_project_meeting_2020_06_23.mp4

  1. Demo day is Jul-2, 9am ET: 2020-07-02 Cherry R5.2
  2. Thoralf on holiday Jul-21. The Jul-7 meeting we still have normally.
  3. Bengi asked for RMR performance data comparing old NNG against SI95 implementation. Nothing on wiki page, but we have the PDF in
    Jira
    serverORAN Jira
    serverId5ec52304-b77c-3ce7-af6a-112cb13e6008
    keyRIC-48
    that might help. Matti to ask Scott to eventually post the results also in the wiki page. Also to double-check that SI95 results are not already in wiki page somewhere.
  4. Chokha interested in contributing to near-RT RIC.
  5. Rittwik asked about what we should push to the maintenance release. So far nothing. Matti asked about adding alarm routes to routing manager. We created
    Jira
    serverORAN Jira
    serverId5ec52304-b77c-3ce7-af6a-112cb13e6008
    keyRIC-525
    for this.

2020-06-09

Recording: near_rt_ric_platform_project_meeting_2020_06_09.mp4

  1. new contributors (Rahul) planning to work on RIC-203 implementation with Abdulwahid and on RIC-133 xApp scalability with Matti.
  2. presentation to O-RAN alliance: 2020-06-08: Report to O-RAN alliance on plans for release "Cherry" under Project reports
  3. demo moved by one week. We now demo in the first week of a sprint. For Sprint 1 in near-RT RIC we don't have a demo. First one for sprint 2 will be Jul-2.
  4. committer change: Tommy → Chris L. (in a1, rmr, xapp-frame-py). Remove rajesh from RMR. Katri and Roni to be removed from all repos. Need a replacement.
  5. RICAPP agenda: RICAPP Meetings.

2020-05-26

This event is cancelled due to overlapping workshop. Next meeting will be in two weeks in regular time slot.

2020-05-12

Recording: near_rt_ric_platform_project_meeting_2020_05_12.mp4

  1. Review and agree to minutes of previous meetings
  2. check RIC-95 status. Quite a lot of work. Code review and unit test cases still to be done.We quickly discussed a possibility of doing healthcheck also via a healthcheck E2SM that woudl have to be defined by O-RAN WG3. We discussed this because in the RICAPPSs Hello World xApp an non-standard E2SM does something similar. Current expectation is that WG3 work will not be picking up this E2SM any time soon.
  3. Check for Bronze what we achieved and Cherry-R5 plans: link (check under "Status 2020-04-29 and 2020-04-30 and 2020-05-06 and 2020-05-12")
  4. Rittwik wants to talk about Cherry release planning.
    1. TS use case will probably be expanded on // possibly some ML model management aspects for RIC platform
    2. Rittwik mentioned more work in O1/O2, but for Cherry-R5 we might have issues with standardization not ready yet. More likely Cherry-R6 content.
    3. For scalability on E2AP no plans in R5 because of standardization being blocked. We do have work for xapp scalabilty study in Cherry-R5 and benchmarking planned for Cherry-R5.
  5. We might or might not have to cancel the next meeting due to overlapping workshop. I will update the groups.io calendar if it's cancelled.
  6. postponed items (out of Bronze): RIC-76 (subscription manager) and many more - see Cherry-R5 plans (same link as in (3) above).

2020-04-28

Recording: near_rt_ric_platform_project_meeting_2020_04_28.mp4

  1. Review and agree to minutes of previous meetings
  2. FYI RICP (combined with RICAPP) demos are every third week: Sprint demos
  3. Status of
    1. RIC-95 (design approved by tel aviv teams // implementation should be ready // problem with testing as no access to simulator) Tel Aviv cannot test with proprietary simulator as no time. This might delay RIC-95 further. Harry cannot help as on leave. Ron might get simulator ready within two weeks, but there is some risk that service query is not working yet in simulator. Arunkumar could take a look at the service query support in simulator during next week once RIC-95 is ready. If we make good progress, we could still push this into maintenance release (after TOC approval).
    2. RIC-203 no progress. design not clear yet. Drop this from Bronze (not try to push it into maintenance release)
  4. postponed DB items EPICS: (not even started):  RIC-123, RIC-107, RIC-118 and RIC-119 as well as user story: RIC-104 to post-Bronze-R4
  5. 2020-04-28: epics still open team 1: 17, team 2: 5, team 3: 3, team 4: 8 : team 5: 10, team 6: 2, team 7: 2. sum = 47 still open
  6. FYI: Tommy Carpenter has left the project. Committer upgrade needed. A1, xapp-frame-py → Chris Lott. RMR python version is in xapp-frame-py. RMR also replace tommy with Chris (even if no RMR python work a<nymore), Rpanta also remove from RMR repo. The repo "utils" we should remove. Add Chris now. Remove Tommy after Bronze. Thoralf to initiate this change.

2020-04-14

Recording: near_rt_ric_platform_project_meeting_2020_04_14.mp4

  1. Review and agree to minutes of previous meetings
  2. Between "DBAAS" single-instance and "HA" we switch by using same configmap with different content as in this review: https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/c/ric-plt/ric-dep/+/3105 For platform components this is a good solution. The idea is that xApps (if they use SDL) have something similar. We might have to expand how this works for xApps later on, e.g., so that xApps have a way to declare what they need in terms of data storage
      1. .
