General information
Silicon SR1 code freeze next monday for Managed projects.
Committers election proposal: 2 candidates Christophe and Bala => Action: Guillaume to prepare a proper poll to get others committers feedback
Next Thursday is Holiday and there will be no meeting.
...
Thierry proposed a fix for some issues with notifications: ongoing optimizations.
Javier's contributions on TAPI have been merged. They cannot be reviewed quickly by Gilles and Christophe.
The fact that there is no regression on current features is ensured. Javier will create JIRA tickets to refactor the code and imporve functiuonal tests.
Shweta is backporting to master her contribution on OTN and notifications for 7.1 devices but there are merge conflicts to solve before.
Bala presented his latests development on 7.1 portmapping functional tests and muxponders.
Gilles started also working on muxponder locally. They need to sync.
04/29/2021
General information
Si SR1 will be released the 12th of May, Al SR3 on the 6th of June
Guillaume wants to proceed to committer elections. Bala is OK to apply.
...
Guillaume is fine with the relation chain of the changes provided by Javier. Only “Initial OR-TAPI mapping” still has one point to be checked (NPE) prior to be merged
“New functional test for device change notification” is ready to be merged.
The last changes pushed by Bala fail when running the functional tests. It seems that the gate fails downloading the simulator.
Changing 7.1 to 7.10 in Functional tests: as we cannot consider modifying the enum in OpenROADM models from 7.1 to 7.1.0 (some equipment already developed according to 7.1 models) to align with other release naming convention, we decided to abandon that change that would bring confusion since OR must be considered as the reference.
Notification support for 7.1 device : Shweta will address the current comments made on the change.
OTN topology creation fix : Functional test were failing but they now pass.
Followed a discussion on the API between the Renderer and the SH and the adaptations that need to be performed to cope with the OFC 2021 demonstration.
04/22/2021
General information
Guillaume will ask next week for volunteers to the committer roles, as he wants to extend the number of comitter.
...
“Port mapping functional test for 7.1 device” change pushed by Bala is changing version naming in the different classes (7.1 -> 7.1.0). It is also modified in the xml config file, which leads to an issue in HoneyNode because the enum is not supported in the OpenROADM models. Port capabilities were also adjusted for network port changing if-cap type from if OTUCn-ODUCn to if-otsigroup. Guillaume proposes to split the change into 2, one focusing on 7.1.0 adjustments and the other handling all other adjustments.
04/15/2021
General information
Silicon is officially published and is available on the official download page.
...
Guillaume pushed a change that modifies the script to install Honeynode, to improve the Gate behavior.
Thierry has provided the doc section that concerns nbi-notification module in developer and user guides
04/08/2021
General information
Silicon release is officially published.
Netconf is now MRI, meaning the project won’t use anymore snapshot which will make our life easier to manage dependency.
Guillaume mentions we could in this context, propose to be handled as a managed project for Phosphorus.
Anyway, this does not change the situation about our lack of committers and the way we are staffed. Being handled as a managed project brings a lot of constraints.
The developer forum is planned around the 10th of June and it will be a virtual event.
...
Guillaume provided some indications on the way to handle license models.
Then followed a discussion on B100G Muxponder and switchponders behavior.
04/01/2021
General information
Silicon has been released for managed project. Guillaume has created the branch and has released the artifacts for transportPCE.
Mg is officially end of life.
Gilles, would like us to set a rule to rebase the code before we merge it, to simplify things and reduce the list of commits.
Features introduced in Si have not been documented (nbiNotifications, DMaaP-client). A corresponding User story has been created
...
Renderer for 7.1 devices and Bump project version to 4/.0.0 snapshot have been merged.
Javier has pushed 7 changes for which tests are working locally. The three following changes are ready for review. Others are still work in progress.
_Creation of the T-API context on feature install
_Initial OR-T-API mapping : maps the OR to T-API topology on feature install. There are now 3 topologies, but only one is stored in the MD-SAL. This is the one where ROADM are not abstracted.
_Initial OR-T-API services : any service is mapped into the corresponding connectivity service in T-API (maintained in the MDSAL).
Javier will develop the Unitary tests if we are OK with these 3 changes.
Bala and Shweta made some tests and have end to end service rendering at 400GE. They demonstrate interoperability of both transponders and ROADMs supporting Flexgrid.
Some patches and further testing with the new Si release to come.
03/25/2021
General information
Silicon : The marketing message is in preparation. Managed project are still not all ready.
The Silicon marketing message for transportPCE has been reviewed and adjusted during the meeting.
The release note for Al SR3 has been released
...
OLM and Renderer module to support of 7.1 devices have been merged on both the master and the Al branch.
Javier had a call with Gilles to clarify the implementation of T-API context and topology mapping. A new change will be pushed shortly, so that the multilayer T-API topology is created and does not interacts with the code dedicated to the on the fly generation of abstracted T-API topology.
A set of changes has been pushed by Gilles and Christophe focusing on updating states in both the PortMapping and the topology, as well as for the services:
_Update portmapping on state notifications : This change allows the update the portMapping, using a new method updateMapping from notifications received from equipment
_Handle notification reception on port state change : the code developed by Javier has been refactored in order to handle device 2.2.1 and 7.1 in addition to device 1.2.1
_Set topology tp states from device port states : set tp states in openroadm-topology and otn-topology according to states of device ports in port-mapping.
_Update portmapping yang models : changes the structure of the portmapping using groupings so that java interfaces are generated to ease the access of each port independently
_Update node-tp and link states on topologies : when portmapping is updated, a listener of the mapping, created in the network module, allows to update the topology accordingly
_Refactor network topologies listener of SH : when a tp is supporting a service, a notification is sent to the SH if the operational states of the tp changes and affects the services. This change is derived from the code provided by Javier, with some simplifications focusing on tp state changes.
_Add new UT for deviceListener221 : this change is still tagged as WIP since some issues need to be solved.
Gilles made at the end of the meeting a presentation on Jenkins tox job issues encountered recently. These issues are related with the tox job duration (when it exceeds 2 hours) and build timeout constant currently defined. This leads to -1 vote on some of the changes. Something needs to be done. Splitting the tests across several tox jobs could be a solution.
03/18/2021
General information
_We have 2 new TSC members one from Pantheon and another from Verizon.
_Silicon code freeze is now effective and the branch is locked. We have not created it yet. We shall be careful when creating it because of the freeze.
_TransportPCE has been integrated in Al SR3 which has been released even if no communication made on it
_OFC event will be virtual (June 6 to 10), so that the demo will be handled in UTD.
...
All the relation chain of DMaap client and NBI notification has been merged on the master branch
Guillaume has merged the update of Portmapping for 400G.
Adapt PCE to compute 400G path has a merge conflict. Guillaume would like to Christophe to take care of remaining issues
Updated OLM Module : Guillaume is fine with the change but is waiting for some additional review.
Device Renderer to support transponder for B100G : Bala has addressed all the comments and will start writing the functional tests. Guillaume is also waiting for some additional review of it.
Bug in portmapping : solves some ordering issue sin the port list of the portmapping (v221). Guillaume asks to address the same issue in the portmapping(v7.1) in the same change.
Functional test for 400G : Christophe provided a test suite to verify path computation performed by PCE for 400GE. Shweta is about to complete her review of it.
Set topology topo states from what is in the portmapping: states in the portmapping are currently corresponding to the states that come from devices as they are mounted. Some changes to come will update the states in the portmapping from notifications received from devices.
Javier is currently testing his changes on T-API. No issues with the T-API topology saving in the operational topology data store.
He experiences some issues for the tests associated with some other changes (Initial OR-TAPI mapping, and T-API context saving), due to the way the feature is initiated.
03/11/2021
General information
We are in a self-nomination period for LFN Governing board committers.
AL SR3 is still pending. Will need to run the CSIT again.
...
Gilles provided an Upgrade for Honeynode. At that time it is limited to 2.2.1 device. It is a complete refactoring of Honeynode code to generate some notifications on port status changes. At that time Honeynode only send notifications when the status of a port changes (avoiding notification storms). A version for 1.2.1 devices and 7.1 devices will be available in a short time.
Guillaume added a profile in Tox to check any shell script s that may content bashisms.
He has cherry-picked Shweta’s works on OLM on master branch.
Gilles pushed 2 changes. The first is an update of the portMapping models in order to includes operational and administrative state of the ports. The second updates the PortMapping from value red in the devices. Next step will be to update portMapping from notification coming from devices.
Christophe has pushed on functional test suite to test the PCE operation at 400 G.
03/04/2021
General information
AL SR3 is not yet released but it shall be approved tomorrow, which means we will need to release next week.
Si ready for code freeze.
...
Gilles contribution on 400G has been merged. Sample device has been put on top of it.
Fix topology link and service update : Javier provided a fix to include in the ttpid the node id so that we can garanty the unicity of it. Guillaume mentioned that it would also make sense to have this change backported on Al.
When correcting the T-API context, Javier experienced a bug which has also been identified by other members of the community (https://lists.opendaylight.org/g/kernel-dev/topic/81062242?p=,,,20,0,0,0::recentpostdate,,,20,2,0,0&allview=1)
OLM Module : Shweta addressed all comments provided by Guillaume.
Both the OLM module and Renderer for 7.1 devices could be put on Al to simplify OFC demo preparation. However it will be pushed only in SR4 release.
NBI notifications and DMaap associated changes have been rebased by Emmanuelle. They shall be ready to merge.
AT&T presented at the end of the meeting some slides on the expected behavior of 400G switch and Mux-ponders, focusing on connection-map and otn switching pools.
02/25/2021
General information
Netconf is now an MRI (Managed Release Integrated) project and does not use anymore snapshots so that we need to adjust dependencies
Al SR3 is on track.
Self-nomination period for TSC additional seats.
...
Guillaume merged all changes on portMapping refactoring and cherry-picked them to stable-Aluminium.
Emmanuelle made an improvement to the test utils.
“HoneyNode for 7.1 devices” change has been cherry-picked to stable Aluminium to simplify the development of the test associated with the Renderer.
AT&T can use the HoneyNode for device 7.1 as well as the 7.1 400G Transponders configuration samples to develop their functional tests for the Renderer.
In “Update Netconf dependencies” (95324), we change the dependencies associated with Netconf, using the artifacts rather than the snapshots (see general information).
“Device Renderer to support transponders for B100G” : OpenRoadmInterfaces710 includes methods to create all interfaces needed for B100G (OTSI, OTSIg, OTUC4, ODUC4 and ODUFlex, and 400G EThernet…)
The code for OFC shall be ready by the end of April. Even if we are not willing to push the high rate renderer in Al SR3, we shall try to keep it on the Al stable branch.
OLM also needs to be cherry picked on Al.
Silicon shall be released in March.
02/18/2021
General information
The Si code freeze will be next Monday.
Al SR3 could come soon. They have solved the vulnerability issue they had with Al SR2.
Not only the Netconf dependencies may change, some others may also change. Guillaume will ask to the TSC.
...
Guillaume continued working on the optimization of the code for PortMapping. Several changes have been merged on both Si and Al : Add a portMapping method to retrieve Xpdr port 2, Improve portMapping LCP method to map degree, Fix+ align portMapping protections and log messages, Fix usage of deprecated methods in portMapping. Lists have been changed to Maps to be compliant with Si usages.
Gilles made several improvement to T-API : “Update topology input files for T-API topology UT” focuses on taking into account admin and operational states of openroadm-topology and otn-topology as well as Flexgrid data. “Align tapi topololgy states on OR topology ones” allows to set the state in the T-API topology from the state that are present in the OR topology (they were hardcoded in the intermediate phase)
Emmanuelle has been working on refactoring the GNPy code, also introducing the Jackson serializer/deserializer missing in Yang Tools.
Manage 400G in portmapping is a preliminary work needed to handle higher rates. A sample of 7.1 device configuration for transponder at 400G has been proposed by Gilles. He would like it to be double checked by AT&T who has the knowledge of equipment. AT&T highlights from what they saw in the labs, that for transponders @400G, most of the time the connection map comes at run-time, because the same devices can be used as transponders or switch-ponders (depending on the type of equipment, we could have either a connection map or a switching pool)
Gilles will populate the repo so that it allows the installation of HoneyNode for 7.1 device.
“Adapt PCE to compute a 400GE path” change allows upgrading path computation, considering port capabilities of transponder and is a preliminary work needed to handle higher rate
AT&T has started working on the renderer for higher rate. They may have an update, maybe not on next week but the week after.
Guillaume confirmed that it is probably better to work from Stable Al branch for OFC, since Si may suffer from instabilities.
02/04/2021
General information
Al SR2 might not be officially released (Issue with authentication in NETCONF/RESTCONF)
AT&T wanted to have a discussion on which version we should rely on to perform the demo. Bala propose to make the development on stable Aluminum and later cherrypick it to master. This will allow to rely on a stable branch.
For functional tests on Kafka we use docker compose to create the docker image from a Yaml file. The docker image is not available on Gerrit.
The YAML file is available on the change “add test for service notification” (94272).
...
Gilles has merged recently all changes pushed by Javier on Topology update.
He has proposed a change to bump our dependencies on Silicon.
He has merged a few changes regarding dependency injections to solve some issues with the T-API module.
Guillaume is working on some refactor on the portmapping.
NBI notification for Kafka is still under review. Emmanuelle has solved the issue regarding the NBI notification module
Fix variable name in topology allows fixing a bug we had. The input file used for unitary test in topology have been changed to take into account the admin and the operational state that are now handled
Gilles also made a change to adjust the state in the T-API topology to reflect the state that are in OpenROADM topology.
Emmanuelle worked on a Dmaap client, in the same spirit as the NBI notification module adjusted for operation with the ONAP Dmaap Bus. This will allow to handle the asynchronous process in MDONS.
Javier has pushed some code as Work in Progress
_”T-API context creation on feature install” (when the T-API module is installed). He is still working on solving the issues he encountered
_”Initial OR-TAPI mapping Topology” focuses on mapping OR topology to TAPI topology and store it in in T-API context
_”Initial OR-TAPI mapping: OpenROADM Services” : OR services are mapped in the T-API context
_”TAPI Netconf Topology Listener” – provides a TAPI network model service equivalent to Network Model module –
_”TAPI network utils” allows the creation of links in tapi
Javier will make a presentation to summarize the content of his changes.
AT&T mentioned that the renderer for B100G might be ready mid of next week.
01/28/2021
General information
Al SR2 should be announced today.
DDF is starting next the 1st of February. ODL sessions will be on Thursday.
...
Javier divided the T-API module User story into several topics (Initial mapping, Netconf listener, Service Handler, implementation of T-API notification service). He is working on it locally, and will push the code when it makes sense
OLM Module : Shweta uploaded a new patchset. It has been tested in the labs. This changes addresses PM retrieval for 7.1.0 models, power management for 7.1.0, and power management code to support hybrid network . She also handled the correction of a bug in provisioning MC. This should no longer be considered as Work In Progress.
We are currently experiencing an issue (with yang tools / NETCONF?) when we introduce in the filter the PM resource type extension with HoneyNode.
Gilles has raised a bug on TPCE-JIRA: when we try to install the new feature for notification, the bundle cannot be started. This might be an issue with the MDSAL. The issue description will be sent on the odl mailing list.
Gilles also pushed several changes :
_Service datastore instantiation in SH : checks correct instantiation of Service datastore to avoid null pointer exception if this is not the case when the sate of a port is updated.
_Fix the SIP UUID generation in Tapi Topology : change the way UUID are generated so that they are created in a deterministic way for the service interface point.
_Set mandatory UUID in TAPI connectivity module : In the t-api connectivity module , sets a mandatory UUID to avoid any compilation issue.
_Reorganization of dependency injection in Service Handler : solve the Service Handler instance duplication issue when installing T-API feature. It also removes manuel instantiations from ServicehandlerProvider to let blueprint manage object instantiation as a singleton, adapts constructors of service handler UT accordingly and reorganises dependency injection in lighty to be aligned with blueprint files
Guillaume started to add some intermediate methods in the Port Mapping (This is still WIP)
The meeting ended with a discussion on PortMapping : with 400G equipment when we have a Transponder without any circuit pack provisioned we do not have any connection map populated. This comes up (as well as the switching pool) only when the client and network are introduced in the transponder/muxponder. We should be able to refresh a port mapping on notifications coming from the insertion of a new circuit-pack in a transponder/ muxponder unit.
01/21/2021
General information
Al SR2 : No news from the LFN staff to publish the Artifact. Robert tried to address this and getting things moving forward.

General information
Mg SR3 release should come soon..
...
Guillaume worked on the second step to align the different versions of the PortMapping.
12/03/2020
General information
Mg SR3 branch is still not locked (infra issues more or less fixed but still CSIT jobs failing).
...
Update on HoneyNode simulator: with last version of jdk 11, regex does not work anymore to retrieve the version of the equipment. This has been corrected in this change.
11/26/2020
General information
Mg SR3 branch is still not locked (fixing infra issues).
...
Honeycomb modifications on 1.2.1 have been pushed to Gitlab.
Changes associated with Netconf notifications handling have been pushed on Gerrit (Step1 to 8).
A thread is created for each notification to avoid bug identified as TRNSPRTPCE-249. Step1 to 6 were introduced during last meeting.
Step7: When a service notification is received by the Service Handler, this last compares the elements of the topology and their states with the elements included in the different path-descriptions of service-path-list.
The state of the services affected by these state changes are refreshed by the SH.
Step8 : Honeynode 1.2.1 simulator has been modified to include the implementation of Circuit Packs notifications in DeviceNotificationProducer and the implementation of CP update datastore in DeviceChange listener.
11/19/2020
General information
We are part of Al SR1, though it seems the marketing annoucement are not more brodcasted on the mailing-lists.
...
Guillaume added pyang tox profile to check/format api models and the documentation spelling.
11/12/2020
General information
Gilles proceed to release of Al SR1 last week.
Mg SR3 : Code freeze for Managed project will start on the 16th of November.
...
Emmanuelle has aligned the topology on 7.1 openROADM models (Common, Device, Network models). She split the changes to ease review, meaning a lot of them do not pass the gate.
11/5/2020
General information
Managed project are ready for Al SR1 since today. Gilles is going to prepare the staging of the release.
The latest work done on T-API will not be integrated in Al SR1 since it is still in review.
The TSC election process has been postponed to the end of November (but self-nominations coming soon).
...
Lighty support in Al : Lighty now works with Al (add annotation dependency, increased memory allocated to make it run, PathComputation service Impl was using BindingDOM codec service from karaf which has been changed to AdaptorContext serializer)
Now that lighty is activated for the test, TPCEUtils also needs to be updated if we change models.
Using Lighty on Al, we will rely on a stable version. But for Silicon, Lighty needs to be uploaded from maven central, and it is not currently available. This is the reason of the change “Lighty support Silicon migration”
Portmapping for 7.1.0 models : Bala changed the portmapping to enable 7.1 models. Supported interface capability implementation has changed. Interface capabilities are now more port childs but are now handled as an augmentation and mc-capbilities are now handle through profiles.
Emmanuelle mentions that she will wait for the portmapping to be merged so that she can rebase her Topology change (common models need to be changed for both) .
7.1 Honeynode simulators can be downloaded from
https://gitlab.com/Orange-OpenSource/lfn/odl/honeynode-simulator/-/tags/honeynode-plugin-aggregator-7.0.0
Bump to silicon : Guillaume split the change done by Emmanuelle since he wanted to reuse some of the code changes in AL
T-API : Gilles made a change to strengthen independence between UT in OLM (not strictly related to T-API). A second change allows sharing a common Datastore context for all unitary test in T-API (Static class). The 3 following changes are dedicated to the consolidation of T-API topology. Only ports and node that are attached to the ROADM are considered. Second step allows to build a multilayer topology that includes both transponders and OTN devices. Step3 allows building the same abstraction as we were building in the initial development (only transponders and WDM layer). Last change includes the tests associated with T-API.
10/29/2020
General information
Aluminium SR1 deadline is tomorrow for managed project.The branch has been locked this week.
It will be unlocked when managed project will be ready which will allow us to migrate.
There were a couple of evolutions on dependencies, which have been considered but can’t be merged in the current state.
...
Bump to Silicon :
Emmanuelle updated the Pom to Si as well Junit tests and code to be in line with Si following the introduction of the Maven Enforcer Pluggin.
The change also takes into account the latest modification made by Robert to solve MDSAL-600 bug (Problem when using two enum with the same name in the same module).
10/22/2020
General information
There will be a TSC election in the coming weeks.
...
When upgrading it to 7.1, two approaches can be followed.
First Approach : Create 2 separate yang files for the attributes that have changed in new versions.
Second approach: we would use the most recent model (7.1.0 ) for all older model as well.
This implies to make some deeper changes. We have a global agreement on the fact that the 2nd approach looks more appropriate.
The migration of network models to 7.1 has been initiated on Orange side by Emmanuelle.
Robert has recommended to use BOM in the POMs. Guillaume initiated some work to use BOM in tpce features.
Guillaume also removed some useless findbugs jsr305 dependencies in the common and in the Tapi modules poms.
Add OpenROADM 7.1.0 device and common modules : there is still a few comments to be addressed befor the change get merged.
SH handler optimizations and technical debt is ongoing, but Guillaume is expecting feedback on how to manage the pending status.
Lighty.io : Binding DOM codec service is needed by GNPY but not supported by lighty.io. This means some rework is needed on the GNPY API.
Bump to Silicon SR0 version is working. The changes is expected by committer(s) to be split so that other branches benefits from the improvement done
(and also to ease their maintenance).
Javier expect to push by tomorrow some part of his work.
10/15/2020
General information
Robert Varga presented his notes on ODL during the LFN events.
There will be some changes in the way notifications are handled in next releases (implementation of RFC8040)
...
Bala posted a new change on Gerrit that corrects warnings coming from Pyang analysis on yang files.
Bala would like to organize a meeting about portmapping 7.1 since he wants to discuss about some issues he encountered.
Because of the change in the way port/mc-capabilities are handled in OR 7.1 release (common model),
the PortMapping needs to be deeply modified to fit with the new models. From swagger UI the version of PortMapping does not appear anymore in api-doc.
Emmanuelle pushed some changes on stable/aluminium on technical debt.
She is waiting for netconf silicon migration to migrate master branch to silicon for TPCE
Gilles and Christophe worked this week on the consolidation of T-API topology export :
the topology will include the NEPS of the photonic layer that corresponds to Xponder ports that are connected to the ROADM infrastructure through fibers.
ther port (that cannot be commissioned) will not appear in this abstracted topology.
10/08/2020
General information
Tpce is officially in Aluminum, even if the official announcement still has not been sent to the mailing-lists.
Next week will be LFN networking technical event (old DDF) handled from the 14th to the 15th of October. It is a free event but a registration is needed.
...
7.1 Device model :
In the ModelMappingUtil it seems we have some duplications of the settings of serviceA/Zend where OUT, ODU and clli are affected 2 times. A change is dedicated to this.
CleanUp API yang changes (part1/2) look fine.
Augment 7.1 device common model : we have a licence issue with the OpenConfig Models (missing license). As we cannot convert the Apache L2 license into BSD license, the separate license file needs to be added.
T-API :
Fix bug on transitional link solves a UUID creation issue : 2 devices could have the same UUID for the transitional link leading to the creation of only one link. The creation of UUID has been modified to address this issue.
Add OTN links in TAPI topology : OTU4 and ODU4 links are now provided in the OTN topology. Associated Junit tests were added.
10/01/2020
General information
ONES virtual event is ending. Video can be seen offline for people who registered.
CPQD (A Brasilian institute which promotes dirsruptive technology) seems interested and asked some questions on tranportPCE
LF Networking (equivalent of DDF for ODL) virtual event is following (13-15 of October) : they are still asking for late contributions.
Aluminum official announcement was still not done, as they are waiting for Release Note updates from some projects
...
Device Model 7.1 : now compiling. Bala is expecting a review of it. The change includes refactoring of transportPCE API
Func test for Flexgrid : Gilles made a review on it and the test suite has been merged.
Documentation : Guillaume added some elements on the T-API feature to the user guide. The release notes have been updated
Python functional test rationalization has been merged
Junit test : Move common DataStore has been merged last week. Guillaume is currently focusing on 92439 “Migrate AI and reactivate some Junit tests”.
Lighty.io 13 was released on the 18th of September. Guillaume started to look at it. GNPY dependencies were forgotten. PathComputationImpl needs BindingDomCodecServices which leads to the same issue as for the Junit tests (92349).
A couple of change waiting for review, from which “do not explicit serial Version UUID anymore”
Shweta has identified a number of bugs on the OTN code. Corresponding JIRA ticket have been created.
09/24/2020
General information
We will be part of the Aluminum distribution which shall be released today.
Release plans for next Silicon release have been asked to core projects.
In the case of TransportPCE it does not bring that much value since it would concerns mainly functional features, but no API modifications
...
Forgotten Mg Branch documentation update has been cherry-picked to master and stable/aluminium.
Aluminum Developer guide documentation has been merged, as well as the user guide which was modified regarding the installation of T-API feature
Do not explicit Serial Version UUID is ready for reviewal.
Guillaume has been working on rationalizing the Inventory
_Junit Tests : Guillaume splitted the change on Junit test
_Remove dead code from Junit test has been merged
_Fix test-common dependency scope in some pom files has been merged
_Fix a bug in PceUtils Junit can be merged. The proposed correction was made because initial Junit test was failing
_Migrate to Al and reactivate some Junit tests & Move common DatastoreContext and co-test-common lead to some issues
Guillaume fixed pylint configuration, modifying default regex rules and solving some false positive issues.
Use dict instead of elif in functional tests : some dictionaries have been introduced to simplify the code in some test suites

General information
Managed project are almost ready for Aluminium . A message was send so that the PTL provide their inputs for the marketing message.
We should be ready by next week (25th of September) The documentation may need to be reworked to include Flexgrid
...
Aluminium bump.
All Aluminium bump have been merged on top of Flexgrid.
Migrate Junit test is still not merged because……..
FlexGrid test suite : Gilles made some reviews and comments on the test suite, asking to include the renderer in the interface creation process (MC and NMC). Bala pushed some new tests to address these comment. The test passed the gate.
Rationalization of the inventory code : consolidating the Al migration, Guillaume made some changes on the Inventory.
Functional test rationalization was reviewed by Gilles. However, we will merge this patch after the migration to Al just to make sure there are no side effects.
Update device model to 7.1.0 : ODU 4 and OTU4 identity are imported from otn-common types. Some wrong revision are imported leading to mismatch. Still not clear why we observe this behaviour. We do not plan to include this in Al release.
09/10/2020
General information
Al SR0 is planned for next week on the 17th (Managed project). We have one week left to finish the migration.
ONS is on last week of September and will be a virtual event with limited fees.
...
Update of device model to 7.1. In the common type, there were some identity that have been added and some have been deprecated. In java classes generated by MD-SAL the dash is suppressed from deprecated identities making this redundant with the new one which leads to issues. This is probably associated with a bug in YangTools. Deprecated identities have been removed. Suggest to raise the issue in OpenROADM to remove deprecated identities from R8.0.
Flexgrid : Potmapping, flexgrid rendering and test suite changes are ready for a functional review.
Guillaume changed the docker image for ROADM D (that includes mc-capabilities)
Functional test cleanup is not completely ready, but a couple of change are ready for review. Pylint configuration have been modified. Simplification of the tests using dictionary with checks to be done instead of elif.
Aluminum migration :
In GNPYBindingDOMCodec services is used instead of direct implementation. GNPY yang models have been adapted to remove the key for the list of include/exclude constraint to solve a problem of ordering in the resulting Maps. The corresponding change is now ready for review.
The PCE has also been changed to solve a number of bugs associated with list and map handling.
Bala is asking for postman collection to help debugging the functional tests
09/3/2020
General information
TransportPCE will be part of the Na SR4 distribution
...
Flexgrid : the Mg SR2 dependencies were removed from Nexus, so that Guillaume upgraded the dependency to Mg SR3.
The code can now be rebased (as an intermediate step since at a later step it will need to be rebase on Al). Bala still has some issue passing the functional tests (all 1.2.1 port-mapping related test are failing. Also some of the Junit test are failing.)
Some of the input of Junit tests are hardcoded, so that if new mandatory parameters have been introduced, there must be fed to the Junit tests.
Migration to Aluminum ongoing work :
· GNPY feature to reactivate: the problem comes from the Yang Parser factory. The Yang Parser factory has to be reinjected.
· Migration of the functional tests that are now in failure following the API migration. see belo
· Binding context. Karaf tries to load the package mdsal.codec.impl but it is no more exported by mdsal (modification in poms).
· Guillaume is asking for some review on the PCE. He made some modifications to have it working but these modifications are not really on the same line that the initial proposal.
· Guillaume had to increase the Karaf Java dedicated memory size to have functional test passing.

Otn-link update fix : addresses a bug associated with the update of the tp after a new link has been created.
Flexgrid portmapping change : AT&T proposed to introduce in the mapping list of the portmapping yang model a container mc-capabilities with slot-width and center-frequency.
The reason for this is that we could have hybrid node that support only Fix Grid on a degree and FlexGrid on others.
Bump project dependencies to Al : Gilles as started the migration towards Aluminium release.
The last release provides a lot of changes especially in the common modules (Serialization of object toward Json or xml, functions to parse yang models. So this migration will be a difficult exercice.
Missing modulation format for 2.2.1 Och interfaces needs to be reviewed.

Upgrade to Service Model 6.1 : propose to put it on hold and wait until the issue 678 of OpenROADM is solved (bug related on the introduction of mandatory leaves making the subrate-eth-sla container mandatory whereas it is associated to a when statement, which leads to incorrect behavior in ODL). Then rather than integrating R6.1.1 which shall solve the issue, we could directly jump to R7.1 which will also solve this but add nice features to handle MDONS use case (such as the possibility to handle several notifications urls to different ONAP subcomponents.
