Agenda

Discussion

• Should ACS forward the cbStop callback to the receivers when coming from the unexpected StartState / StopState states?
  
  • ICT-20598 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • Meeting will be organized for this specific topic
• SCCB-1262 - Getting issue details... STATUS
• SCCB-1263 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Short Term (2023APR)

• Maintenance (Bug-fixing / Improvements)
  • MonitoringSyncTool special hierarchy (i.e. LS) – ICT-21739 - Getting issue details... STATUS – 2023APR
  • Remove ACE/TAO from the Git Repo and retrieve it with git submodule or git clone – ICT-21740 - Getting issue details... STATUS – 2023APR
    • No objections, but a detailed description of the change and its implications would be appreciated in the ticket's description
• Obsolescence Management
  • Migration to Java 17 – ICT-21724 - Getting issue details... STATUS – 2023APR
    • To be discussed in detail in SCCB Change Request meeting
    • Shouldn't impact subsystems as ACS/ARCHIVE/ICD will be both compatible with Java 11 and Java 17 JVMs for now
  • TMCDB Explorer to move away of Hibernate Criteria API → JPA Criteria API – ICT-21573 - Getting issue details... STATUS – 2023APR
• Test Coverage
  • Implement Java and C++ code coverage mechanics – ICT-21018 - Getting issue details... STATUS – 2023APR
    • Finish Java coverage implementation
    • Investigate and implement C++ coverage
    • Internal ACS work – No objections
• Investigate ACS exceptions to be possible to propagate through std::future objects – 2023APR
  • Investigation done, it should work out of the box
  • Still we will check whether we can make CORBA exceptions to inherit from std::exception
  • Two short-term alternatives
    • Naive approach making CORBA::Exception to inherit from std::exception
    • Partial implementation by making ACSErr::ACSbaseExImpl to inherit from std::exception
  • Long-term alternative is to install TaoX11 extension
• Continue NC implementation study – 2023APR
  • https://bitbucket.sco.alma.cl/projects/ALMA/repos/almasw/compare/diff?sourceBranch=refs%2Fheads%2Fnc-refactoring&targetRepoId=13
  • Will continue the work in low priority
• ComponentCaller API Security Implementation – ICT-12465 - Getting issue details... STATUS – 2023APR
  • Coordinate a meeting to discuss the proposal
• CDB API REST Endpoints – 2023APR
  • Alternative protocol for CDB / CDB RDB
  • Both protocols will be available

Mid Term (2023JUN)

• Jakarta EE / Hibernate 6.x / Spring Framework 6.x / Spring Boot 3.x / Tomcat 10.1+ – 2023JUN
  • To be discussed in detail in SCCB Change Request meeting
  • Online subsystems need to move away from Hibernate Criteria API → JPA Criteria API by 2023JUN/2023JUL if this is approved for 2023JUN
• C++ Modernization
  • Logging Service refactoring/change of technology – 2023FEB → 2023AUG
• Development and Community OS Support
  • Jenkins Build + Phase A tests
    • Other operating systems?

Long Term (TBD)

• ACS Services Modernization
  
  • ZeroMQ-based BulkData transfer implementation
  • Interface Repository (???)
  • Naming Service (???)
• CORBA modernization?
  • Does it make sense to migrate to TaoX11?
    • Yes it does, in low priority

De-scoped:

• Java Modules
