2.7 Collecting data for RNC and NodeB PMI
NOTE The UMTS_SOP V5.2 script package (matched with OMStar V500R008C00SPC200) supports the
NodeB preventive maintenance inspection (DBS3900WCDMAV200R013C00/BTS3900WCDMAV200R013C00). The OMStar whose version is earlier than V500R008C00SPC200 does not need to collect the NodeB data.
The NIC in co-deployment mode provides the access of all NodeBs in the following versions. The NIC in co-deployment mode in the OMStar of earlier versions does not support the NodeB data collection.
iManager M2000 V200R011C01SPC240 and later versions
iManager M2000 V200R012C00SPC220 and later versions
The following section uses the UMTS NE as an example. The data collection method for the SingleRAN is the same.
The method described here also applies to the NICs in stand-alone and co-deployment modes.
You are advised to collect data of one RNC and its corresponding NodeBs for the RNC and
NodeB preventive maintenance inspection. It is recommended that you create multiple collection tasks for multiple NEs.
Before collect the NodeB performance data, you should firstly make sure the M2000 let the NodeB performance to be saved.
2.7.1 Collecting RNC and NodeB Data in One Task
In BSC6900 V900R014C00SPC200 and later versions, the Scenario(Group) names of RNC
and NodeB are both SOP.For RNC and NobeB co-collection task, see step 3.
In BSC6900V900R014C00SPC200 earlier versions, As the UMTS_SOP and the NodeB_SOP
collection scenarios belong to different groups, they cannot be selected concurrently when
you create a collection task. You can modify the groups that the UMTS_SOP and
NodeB_SOP collection scenarios belong to ensure that the two collection scenarios belong to
the same group by performing the following operations. Then, the RNC and NodeB data can
be collected concurrently in one task.
One task collects the data of 1 RNC and 249 NodeBs at most.( In M2000
V200R012C01SPC230 and later versions, when the NIC is co-deployed with the M2000, a

collection task can support the data collection of one RNC and 999 NodeBs, and the NIC
automatically divides the task to four subtasks.)
Step 1 Modify the group that the UMTS_SOP scenario belongs to.
Choose Scenario Management > UMTO_SOP to view the scenario configuration of the
BSC6900UMTS_SOP. Change the default group UMTS_SOP to SOP and click Save As. In
the displayed dialog box, change the scenario name to BSC6900UMTS_SOP_NEW.
If the number of existing scenarios in the NIC exceeds 200, the modification cannot be saved.
Collect data by referring to section 2.7.2 "Collecting the RNC and NodeB Data Separately
and Creating a Data Package."
Step 2 Modify the group that the NodeB_SOP scenario belongs to.
Choose Scenario Management > NodeB_SOP to view the scenario configuration of the
NodeB_SOP. Change the default group NodeB_SOP to SOP and click Save As. In the
displayed dialog box, change the scenario name to NodeB_SOP_NEW.

The save path of NIC V100R006C00SPC500 and later versions is Installation directory of
the NIC\NIC\var\nic\task ID.
NOTE
Task IDs are generated randomly, for example, 10002, 10003, and 10004.
Check whether the task ID folder saves the collection task created by the user based on the collection task name in the folder.
After data collection by using the NIC in co-deployment mode, collection results are
downloaded and saved through a web page, as shown in the following figure:

Collection results are downloaded in .zip format. The naming convention of the data package
is collection task name_timestamp, as shown in the following figure:
NOTE The data packet downloaded by the NIC in co-deployment mode from the GUI must be copied to
the directory that is used as the database directory when you create a task in the OMStar
V500R008. The version earlier than OMStar V500R008C00SPC200 does not support the download of data packet by the NIC in co-deployment mode.
Step 3 Record the directory for saving the data collection results for the further analysis of the OMStar in one-click mode.
1. If the online deployment mode is used (that is, the NIC and the OMStar are installed on the same PC), record only the directory for saving the collected data.
2. If the offline deployment mode is used (that is, the NIC and the OMStar are installed on different PCs), copy the data in the task ID folder to the PC where the OMStar is installed, and record the directory for saving the collected data.

II. GSM Summary Report
Report summarization is used to summarize single-NE reports generated by one-click analysis
tasks which support the type of Excel and Word. You can generate summary reports by
enabling the Summary Report function supported by the OMStar V500R008.
NOTE
Do not start the Excel program during the summarization; otherwise, the summarization will fail.
Data only in one file can be selected for analysis if an NE generates multiple files containing historical data.
The current version supports only the sum of Excel reports that have the same language types, NE versions, and sub-scenarios.
To ensure that reports can be summed correctly, keep the size of each Excel report less than or equal to 200 MB.
When generating a Word summarization report, an Excel report is also generated incidentally. The Excel report is different from the Excel summarization report and is used only for reference. In
addition, some tables and figures in the Word summarization report display only Top N records. You can view the entire records in the incidentally generated Excel report.
