Enhance the set of open source xApps in support of the R-SAC use cases (traffic steering, network slicing) as well new use cases. Update and enhance existing xApps to take advantage of the new features in xApp SDK (implemented by the xApp frameworks in C++, go, and python). |

E release source code, container images and deployment instructions Each repository has a branch named "e-release" that can be accessed using git. For example, the source code for the AD xApp can be retrieved using "git clone --branch e-release "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/ric-app/ad". The other xApps in the E release can be found at ric-app/qp, ric-app/ts, ric-app/lp, ric-app/hw, ric-app/hw-go, ric-app/hw-python, ric-app/mc, ric-app/bouncer, ric-app/rc, and scp/ric-app/kpimon. Note that the other ric-app repos are obsolete. Note that this branch is in maintenance and all new development is done in branch "master". In order to deploy the E release xApps, you can re-use the pre-created container images as defined here and the instructions on testing the xApps can be found here E release source code, container images and deployment instructions Will be provided when E Release is ready. |

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. |
