NONRTRIC (John Keeney)

• As per last week:
  • Initial proposals for J Release are ongoing:
    
    • Tentative headline goals:
      • Continue work on rApp Manager - as a focal point for tying together alot of other existing activities
        • Working on some sample rApps. e.g. See Release J: Simple rApp using Hello World Microservice
      • Continue work on Service Manager - again pulling together alot of work on Service Exposure in previous releases
        • may be able to get an early alpha version released at I Maintenance Release time - running out of time on this.
      • Continue maturing the A1-Policy Controller function (ref ONAP) - including a potential new NBI (v3) to achieve R1 alignment
      • May need to de-prioritise some of the older less-used NONRTRIC functions - we welcome others in the community to help take these on if interested.
      • Need to study how/if we can achieve R1-DME alignment. Specs continue to diverge from our implementation - with alot of effort need to align.  We welcome contributors to help here.
  • Maintenance I-Release
    • Running out of time .... 
      
      • Still have an issue with A1 compatibility between A1-PMS and near-RT-RIC A1 Mediator. Hoping to make progress & fix together with A1-Mediator team for Maintenance Release. 
        • NONRTRIC-939 - Getting issue details... STATUS
        • RIC-999 - Getting issue details... STATUS
        • RIC-1031 - Getting issue details... STATUS
      • Maybe Service Manager - TBC
    • We may not be able to make the Maintenance Release Deadline. Will know more by TOC call on Thursday
  • Working through reviews for changes to it/dep charts. Main focus on A1-PMS configuration functionality & state. Still verifying
    • Very close to ready to merge now. Further changes will be needed later (e.g. A1 controllers across ONAP & OSC etc).
