• Non-RT-RIC: John Keeney 

• • RAN PM functions - tidying up & re-releasing in maintenance release. Released! (demoed )
    • May impact AIMLFW project: Will discuss with Joseph Thaliath 
  • Making good progress on rApp manager. start and stop operations - ready for demo today - see below
  • 3GPP dependency updates & addressing vulnerability
  • Some changes in A1-Mediator in near-RT-RIC plt in H-Release.
    • Further investigation needed;  effects on A1-PMS & A1-SIM
  • Sonar and test reporting including LF alignments 
  • Updating RTD docs jobs
  • Documentation updates finished – many thanks

• SIM: Alex Stancu
  • upgrade of Sim Framework - to support websocket
    • change from C to Python
  • I-release planning
    • RASC: O2 API Sim - no plans for I-Release
    • PM Streaming based on RASC input by O1 Simulator

• OAM: Martin Skorupski
  • yang-schema-mount support RFC8528 as required by O1 WG5 
  • Definition of PM streaming 
  • Translation of PM-Dictionary and AlarmDictionary from “O-RAN.WG10.Information Model and Data Models.0-R003-v05.00” into yang – from yang *proto and *.openapi and other formats will be generated – the results will be provided to OSFG for checking if the SCCL process it established and working.
• O-DU: @Vidhu
  • How to run SMO?
    • OAM – only OAM -> docker compose (SDN-R and VES.Collection) -> SIM (1 O-DU - > 3-O-RUs)
      • Non-RT-RIC
        • In it/dep – heml charts
          • See non-rt-ric wiki and gerrit from docker compose – but not recommended
      • Near-RT-RIC
    • Idea: combine and update all deployments in it/dep 

• AI/ML: @Joseph Thaliath

  • Minutes & Meeting: Meeting notes 

  • analysing specs for I -Release 
  • H-Release maintenance - some minor issue
  • I-Release planning ongoing
    • coordination with other projects for energy saving use case

• SMO: Seshu Kumar Mudiganti 
  • Minutes & Meeting: Meeting notes 
  • I-Release → different orchestration - looking for contributions and resource commitments 
    • ETSI DMS profile (WG6 O-RAN Spec) 
    • short term: check DMS flow on top of o-cloud
    • long term: SMO disaggregation flows.
      
      
    • IMS? CNF Inventory vs o-cloud inventory
      
      
• INT: James Li(CMTI)
  • pair wise testing options

PM Event streaming

Discussion: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/OAM/PM+Streaming

proto: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/download/attachments/82706888/o-ran-sc-oam-meas-data.proto?api=v2

template: https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/download/attachments/82706888/o-ran-sc-oam-meas-data.template.json?api=v2

• John Keeney  Working on a version of the PlantUML to include NONRTRIC RanPM functions
• Martin Skorupski  Would like to reuse as much as possible of NONRTRIC RanPM functions 
  • Easiest way might be to put collected/streamed XML (or JSON) into S3/Minio and can then hopefully reuse existing functions.
  • Only new part is Stream terminator → Minio/S3?

• ONAP SON uses case ... & others
  • Coming together well now. ... counting down to M3

    • https://jira.onap.org/browse/INT-2177
• Update
  • CPS - how the code can be used?
    • modification of yang (subset for needed use case) to be applied and
    • other configurations (dataset as json)
    • yangs can be also injected based on SDNC (NF yangs - in this case unmodified yangs)
    • manual steps vs automation
    • CPS demo:  2023-04-04 Meeting notes - Developer Wiki - Confluence (onap.org)

    • https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=117736755
    • How does CPS get yang model?
      • SDNC Adapter: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/CPS-NCMP+-+DMI+-+SDNC+Request+and+Response+Mapping
        • Vishal's teams are looking to check if this is still all up to date.
      • Unclear if this is two-way (read/write config) or one way (read-only) with CM performed direct to SDNC.

Still! "not ok" - how to use NETCONF YANGs from 3GPP and O-RAN

Problem Statement might be not fully understood. 

Next step: Call with Magnus Buhrgard 

After the call and some emails: Magnus it preparing a call with 3GPP SA5 representatives and then another ONAP LS to 3GPP

The topic is on the ONAP TSC agenda tomorrow: TSC 2022-09-08

• Update from Magnus Buhrgard at ONAP TSC call tomorrow
• Slides available

> Magnus wont give up
