• RICAPP PTL: Election completed and Sunil Singh (HCL) was the winner. OSC TOC approved the new PTL in the 9-22-21 call.
  • All repos need to be updated (INFO.yaml) with Sunil as the PTL: Matti would like to remain a committer in ric-app/mc, ric-app/hw, and ric-app/ric-sdk-py
  • LF confirmed no majority of +1s needed for just PTL change (since it was approved by TOC).
• Bugs:
  • RICAPP-177 (HW-C++ - typo in unit test - assigned to Shraboni).
•  Updates:
  • Viavi has proposed schema for the inFlux information to be used in the Release E xApps: InFlux DB schema (E Release)
  • RC xApp repo has been approved by TOC and Matti issued an LF ticket to create the repo.
  • FB agreed to submit python-sdk candidate in the sdk repo
  • Meeting with Matti + Thoralf + Mavenir about gRPC, + Subhash + James + Sunil - let's plan it for the hour after the next RIC/RICAPP meeting (Thoralf will send an invitation)
  • James found a solution for large file problem (use GIT LFS  https://git-lfs.github.com/) : The quick version is that with the git-lfs plugin, you will tell LFS (large file storage) to specifically track certain files within the repo. After that, you work with those files as normal, but when they're pushed or pulled, they come from a separate storage location (in this case, an S3 bucket). This would be something we would add to the repo; there would be no need for a new repo. Access would be the same, and users could even work on the repo without git-lfs; they would still have access to the code, just not the large files. And anyone with access to the repo and git-lfs installed would have access to all files.
    • Still some details need to be ironed out.
  • LP: No other updates.
  • AD/QP/Bouncer:
    • REST API in progress for RIC subscription
    • AD: Area anomaly added
    • QP: Serving cell thorughput addedLP:
    • Automation: Subscription duplication implemented, testing pending
    • No much progress on Bouncer.
  • HW: No updates.

2021-09-14:

Status:

• Updates:
  • AD/QP/Bouncer:
    • Bouncer: REST API for RIC subscription
    • AD: Adding area information in anomaly alert - new field
    • QP: Include throughput current serving cell.
    • Automation: Enhancing common xApp testing automation. Subscription duplication, subscription deletion.
    • Benchmarking results: No new results because lab issues.
    • Matti will send ONeS slides for Bouncer and AD to be checked.
  • LP:
    
    • Verification fails when trying to commit AI-model. Still very large image (1.4 GB).
    • Deepanshu had same issue - looking for LF recommendation (LF ticket).
  • HW:
    • Can we use test automation for HW xApps? Let's plan for a meeting with HCL to discuss how to use the automation. HCL will test first with other xApps.
    • HW go: alarm, metric, and E2 subscription; HW python: Only E2 subscription missing. Python xApp framework updated as well. (Need to figure out who will updated xApp framework python for E2 subscription.)
• RICAPP PTL election:
  
  • Voting start got delayed - have there been any technical difficulties?
