EDOS Ops is normal.

The ASTER ICD for the Sony tape upgrade has only one field remaining to be finalized.

The request to always reprocess RBDs immediately upon receiving the reprocessing request cannot be fulfilled by EDOS. This requirement is not in the ICD or any OA. We will do the best we can to meet this requirement.
