Debugging is in progress. Shared the logs to community and getting support from these components experts to resolve the issue."

   7. RIC-149 Define and implement automated test cases for flows to be defined early in Bronze-R4 1) Ricdeployment : Done. Need repo(it/test) access to commit our changes for review. 2) HealthCheck Testsuite : i)dbaas: Kubectl ping pong done and coding completed. ii) dbaas: As confirmed, using SDL is the best approach to check for dbaas healthcheck and manual testing completed. Integrating with robot framework is in progress. iii)Submgr healthcheck - As confirmed Anssi we tried adding liveness/readiness probe to submgr and check for http requests. Its in progress. 3) ETE Testssuite: i)Robotxapp deployment checked manually and its working fine. But rmr code which i used for robotxapp deployment is the older one with NNG package. Hence want to check with Bharath and Dave. ii) Automation : out of 11 testcases , 8 testcases passed for this xappdeployments and 3 testcases failed using post request for RAN via E2mgr X2 interface and seems the commands are deprecated. Alternate commands to check for and try proceeding. URL: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/RICP/E2+Manager+R4+Interface+Design#E2ManagerR4InterfaceDesign-X2SetupRequest(Deprecated)
