    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

    43

    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.

    2.7.2 Collecting the RNC and NodeB Data Separately and Creating a Data Package

    If you cannot concurrently collect RNC and NodeB data in one task in the methods described

    in section 2.7.1 "Collecting RNC and NodeB Data in One Task," collect the RNC and NodeB

    data separately and manually create a data package to perform the PMI.

    Step 1 Create a UMTS_SOP collection task and obtain an RNC data package.

    Step 3 Compress the UMTS_SOP and NodeB_SOP collection results into a data package by performing the following operations.

    The UMTS_SOP and NodeB_SOP collection tasks obtain the following two collection

    results:

    Drag the data folders in the UMTS compression package to the directory of the NodeB

    compression package. Then, you obtain a combo data package.

    2.8 Viewing the Collection Result

    NOTE

    Do not terminate the FTP service of the tool during data collection; otherwise, the collection will fail.

    Check whether configuration data collection fails. The data analysis of the NE where configuration data collection fails will also fail.

    Step 1 During collection, view the progress of the whole collection task and the progress and running status of each NE.

    Step 2 The data collection results are saved.

    The NIC stand-alone version collects and saves data.

    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:

    48

    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.
