Mission: E2 updates with first E2APv1.1 support and improvements in E2 subscription handling. Original primary goals: Update to E2APv1.1 (E2 Node configuration transfer in E2 Setup and E2 Configuration Update (RIC-638, even if likely changing again in E2APv2.0) and E2SM OID support in internal E2SM function query interfaces (RIC-640)) // RIC-809 Subscription manager to delete subscriptions in case of E2 disconnect (incl. Xapp changes) // RIC-796 sub mgr and xapp-frame error cases // |
Achieved E release highlights = high-level release notes (TODO2021-12-03) below (note that the release image list is here (once releases): TODO link) From the 29 epics planned (link) we implemented so far 11 (link). 11 items have been moved out of the E release, e.g, because of implementation delays (link). We expect 6 items to still complete and one item (RIC-375) is still under discussion what to do with it (link). |

Status 2021-12-01: we are working on implementing the last planned development items below. RIC-113 (DB) - expected to complete by Dec-3 RIC-779 to complete by Dec-7, RIC-790, RIC-816 asked from Sunil. RIC-375 discussion with Anssi+Juha on whether move to F RIC-647 + RIC-640 + RIC-638 Subhash commented: "(likely done by Dec-6) " |
For the E release of the near-RT RIC we did only limited integration testing: only the use cases: deploy RIC, deploy xApp and make E2 connection were tested. Filled in end-of-release checklist : Release criteria checklist - Release E |

E release source code, container images and deployment instructions Each repository has a branch named "e-release" that can be accessed using git: "git clone --branch e-release "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/ric-plt/e2". Make sure to replace the URL with correct repositories. Note that this branch is in maintenance and all new development is done in branch "master". The complete list of repositories belonging to the RIC platform is defined here: Scope of the near-RT RIC platform and its components (summary). In order to deploy the E release of the near-RT RIC platform you can re-use the pre-created container images as defined here. The same instructions as always apply, i.e., follow the general latest instructions: https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-ric-plt-ric-dep/en/latest/ → Installing Near Realtime RIC in RIC Cluster, but make sure to use "git clone --branch e-release ..." instead of "git clone ..." when cloning it/dep and ric-plt/ric-dep E release source code, container images and deployment instructions We again plan to cut a branch from the master branch once the E release is released and goes into maintenance. Also we plan to provide an ready-made container image list. |
