Introduction
The NQDI Network Quality Data Investigator Manual describes the usage and functionality of NQDI which is SwissQuals post-processing system used with the data produced by the QualiPoc and Diversity family of products for network optimization, service monitoring and benchmarking. NQDI is used to analyze the quality on Audio, Data and Video services in parallel with all network parameters and values from measurements on all mobile technologies GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, WCDMA, CDMA, EVDO, HSPA and WiMAX. NQDI also includes network protocol diagnosis for Layer3, TCP/IP, RSTP, UDP, H.245, H.324M, WAP, HTTP, FTP and Streaming Media Player traces. NQDI is designed as a Client/Server application using Microsoft SQL Server as repository for the measurement data. The Client application system includes features for data administration, filtering capability, analysis, statistics, map plotting and KPI report generation. There is also an NQDI version which supports the data import for the measurement files collected with the SwissQual Seven.Five system.
Chapter 1 | Introduction CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS

Installation and Registration
Important: NQDI Clients and Servers must be installed within a protected network environment.
Hardware and Software Requirements

Important: NQDI only works with the English language version of the prerequisite software that you need to install. Recommendation for the PC client: Intel Core 2 Duo 1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended) with Microsoft Windows Vista or Windows 7 Screen resolution should be SXGA (1280x1024) or higher, color quality must be set to 32 bit. Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise operating system Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP3 (Enterprise or Standard Edition) or SQL Server 2008 SP1 (Enterprise or Standard Edition) Microsoft Word and Excel 2003 with SP3 or Microsoft Word and Excel 2007 with SP2 Important: For Microsoft Excel 2003, you need to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack. MapInfo Professional from version 8.0 up to 10.5 (for Windows XP also version from 7.0 and newer can be used) (optional) Important: Windows Server operating systems: The system administrator must install MapInfo and create the REG_DWORD registry key in the following location: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\DisableMSI and set the value of the key to 0.
Software Installation and Registration

Chapter 2 | Installation and Registration CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS

Figure 2-1 Regional Options
Microsoft Office Version

SwissQual only supports the English, German, and French versions of Microsoft Office 2003 SP3 and Microsoft Office 2007 SP2, which is due to VBA incompatibility issues between the different versions and languages. Important: To use Microsoft Excel 2003 for the Excel reports, you need to install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack.
Microsoft Office Settings

To use standard reports and the Report Generator the security level of Excel (Office 2003 SP3) must be set to Medium and VBA projects and add-ins must be trusted. In Excel (Office 2007 SP2) set the security level to Enable all Macros and check Trust access to the VBA projects object model.
Microsoft SQL Server Settings

It is also important that the SQL server be configured to English as the default language. Please check this in the Enterprise Manager/SQL Server Management Studio. Select your database server and go to Properties. The following dialog box appears, depending on the SQL Server version:

Figure 2-2 SQL Server Settings (SQL Server 2005 or 2008)
Please ensure that the Default language is set to English.

Configuration
After the installation and registration you must configure the following settings:
NQDI Configuration Server Names

When the application is started for the first time, you will be asked to configure the access to at least one Microsoft SQL Server database server. The following dialog box appears:
Figure 3-1 Configuration Server Names
From this dialogue box, you can register all the database servers that you have installed. To register a new database server, click the Add button and enter the following parameters: Server Name: the name of the SQL Server instance. This is by default the name of the PC where the SQL Server is installed. Admin Name: the name of the database administrator login (default: sa) Admin Password: the password for the database administrator
Figure 3-2 Server Registration
Click Ok to register this server. To remove a registered Server click the Remove button. To edit an existing registration click the Edit button. Close the dialog box using the Close button.
Chapter 3 | Configuration CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 5

Log-In Dialog Box

A database login dialog box will appear:
Figure 3-3 Database Login
First, select the desired SQL server and database. Then, enter the corresponding user name and password for the SQL server. Only those databases for which the particular version of NQDI has been designed are listed in the database selection.
Create a New Empty Database
Figure 3-4 Create New Database
Note: The username and password for creating a database are taken from the login screen. If you have not yet created a database, you will have to create one by clicking on the Create Database icon on the right side of the window. The Create a new Database on this Server dialog box will appear:
Chapter 3 | Configuration CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS

Figure 3-5 Name of New Database
Note: The username and password for creating a database are taken from the login screen. Enter a name for the database and click Create. NQDI will first create a new empty database. Then, it will execute several scripts to create all the necessary tables, stored procedures, views and functions. Afterwards, NQDI will run all scripts, named, for example, <xy>.sql from the ReportScripts folder to create the necessary queries for the reports. With the Options button, it is possible to create the database in a directory other than the default one defined in the SQL Enterprise Manager. Note: The directory must be on the same server as the SQL server installation and not in a local path. To do this, define a directory in the edit box. This directory must exist prior to creating the database.
Figure 3-6 Creating a database in a different directory
Please note the naming conventions of the MS SQL Server: Database names must be unique within a server and conform to the rules for identifiers. The database name can be a maximum of 128 characters.
Chapter 3 | Configuration CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 7

Formatting rules for regular identifiers are: 1. The first character must be one of the following: A letter as defined by the Unicode Standard 2.0. The Unicode definition of letters includes Latin characters from a through z and from A through Z, in addition to letter characters from other languages. 2. Subsequent characters can be: Letters as defined in the Unicode Standard 2.0. Decimal numbers from either Basic Latin or other national scripts The "at" sign (@), dollar sign ($), number sign (#), or underscore (_).
3. The identifier must not be a Transact-SQL reserved word. SQL Server reserves both the uppercase and lowercase versions of reserved words. 4. Spaces and special characters are not allowed. The Create button the database name only contains valid characters. will remain greyed out until
Figure 3-7 Database Creation Progress
As soon as the creation of the database is finished, click Close to go back to the login dialog box. Click on OK to acknowledge the creation of the database. Importing custom SQL scripts into a new generated database: For importing any custom SQL scripts into a newly generated database, just copy the script to the CustomerScripts subfolder in your Diversity/NQDI folder. Every future database that you create with NQDI will load the information in the custom scripts directory to your database.
Upgrade an existing database

Make sure that the free disk space on the hard disk is at least the size of the database you wish to upgrade. This is necessary because some temporary tables will be created during the upgrade process. It is also recommended that the database be backed up before upgrading to a new version. A database upgrade script is provided for each new release. This upgrade script performs all of the necessary changes in the database structure. To upgrade a database, you need to go to the Login dialog box. There, you have to select the Upgrade Database Schema icon:

Figure 3-8 Database Upgrade
Then, the following dialog box appears where you need to select the database you want to upgrade and the upgrade script. As soon as you selected the database, you will see the version information from this database (Actual Version). Based on this information, you have to select the upgrade script. The naming convention of the upgrade scripts is: Upgrade [actual version].sql to [new version].sql Sometimes it is not possible to upgrade the database in one step (e.g. from 10.0.0.0 to 10.4.0.0). In this case you have to run several upgrade scripts. Select the appropriate script for your DB version and run the script(s). Repeat this step until all databases are on desired version.
Figure 3-9 Select Upgrade Script
Depending on the size of the database, this procedure can take a while. The upgrade script will also load the new report scripts and the scripts for the scatter plots and map plots.

Delete an existing database

Note: The database can only be deleted if it is not used by any other users. To delete an existing database, click on the Delete Database icon on the right side of the Log-In window. The Delete Database dialog box will appear:
Figure 3-10 Deleting a database
Select the database to be deleted and click Delete. Once you have deleted the database(s) you want, click Close to return to the Log-in screen.

Note: Files, which are already loaded, appear in grey color. Once you have entered a new filter value, you must click Refresh to refresh the file list for your new filter. To refresh the file and directory list completely, press the F5 button. This will reload the complete directory tree. Roll-over Function: When you rollover the list of filenames with the mouse, a list of the tests included in that file will be shown (see Figure 4-27 and Figure 6-1). This rollover function will also indicate if a calling module or file is already imported (Figure 6-3). The information shown in the hint depends on the selected file type.

File Name: contains the path and file name of the file that will be imported Collection: contains the collection name that you have entered File Size: contains the size of the mf (or sqz) file in bytes Import Status: shows what the import process is doing right now
Chapter 6 | Data Management CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 31

Important notes for Diversity files:

It is not possible to import a B-side file only! The file selection allows only the import of Single files (*-S.sqz) or A/B files, whereas both files must be present! However, if enabled in the import settings, it is possible to import an A file without the B file. But this could lead to unexpected results and missing information. No support is given for cases where the A files are imported without the B file. The B File cannot be added later on.
Start the import

To start the import process, click the Import icon. This icon changes to a Hand icon during import. The data import process will run in the background which means that during the import process you can continue with other work. The import process can be interrupted by clicking the Hand icon. The current processing file will be imported completely. The import process is logged in the Process Log window. There is an entry for each file. If an error occurs, there is a red entry that describes the type of error. Example of an ongoing import process:
32

Figure 6-5 The Import Log
Once the import is completed, you will see the message Finalizing import in the Process Log window. This indicates that some scripts are currently running to calculate additional values. Do not interrupt this process! Otherwise, the database contents will be internally inconsistent and some reports can indicate incorrect values! This process takes approximately 10% of the total import time. Below that, you will see Import Summary and Import Statistics. These show whether there were any errors or warnings during the import process. It also shows you statistics such as duration, performance and the database size before and after the import.
33

Figure 6-6 Import Finished, Import Summary and Import Statistics
As soon as the import process is completed, you can check if there were any errors or warning messages. Note: Once you have imported the measurement files into the database, it is no longer necessary to keep the original measurement files on the disk, because all data is now available in the database. However, it is recommended to backup the files prior to deleting them, in case of a re-import. The process log can be printed, cleared and saved. Comments regarding the measurement files: In general, we distinguish between the following file types:
File Type
Diversity
File Extension
*A.sqz *B.sqz *S.sqz
Generated by:
Files are generated by the Diversity measurement system. The *A.sqz contains the A-side information. The *B.sqz contains the B-side information. The *S.sqz will be generated if there is no A- or B-side.
Comments
Files are not converted; they are imported directly. QualiPoc files are always present in the unpacked format (*.mf). These files are reprocessed before the import starts.
How the Import Procedure Works

In general, we distinguish between A-side and B-side files, defined as follows: A-side files: All files coming from the measurement unit that initiated the first call of a test. B-side files: All files coming from the measurement unit that was waiting for a first incoming call after a test start. NQDI imports the A-side first as well as any test information of the B file, followed by the B-side file, which is linked to the A file.
Deleting Data
In the data removal section, you can select the files or calls that you want to delete from the database.
34

Figure 6-7 The File List to Remove Files
Collections contains a list of all collections loaded to the database. Campaigns contains a list of all campaigns loaded to the database. File List contains a list of all measurement files that are available in the database. Date Scope: you can specify a date scope within which you want to remove the data from the database. To select more than one entry, you have to click while holding down the Ctrl key.
Figure 6-8 Multiple Selections
Delete all: deletes all of the data from the database. After this, the database is empty Delete: deletes only the selected parts of the database. NQDI distinguishes between 6 different levels of deleting data: Level 1: Remove Audio and Video Recordings only. This will remove the WAV files from the database. It will delete the entries from tables like audioRecordings Level 2: Remove Level 1, Layer 1 and Scanner Data. This will delete the entries from tables like: MsgScannerData Level 3: Remove Level 2 and Layer 2 data. This will delete the entries from tables like: MsgGPRSInterLayerGMMSM Level 4: Remove Level 3 and Layer 3 data. This will delete the entries from tables like: MsgGsmData Level 5: Remove all data except the key parameters. This will keep data like the ResultsLqAvg with the LQ value. Level 6: Remove all Data. This removes the data from all selected tables.
Chapter 6 | Data Management CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 35

A detailed list of which table belongs to which remove level can be found in the document NQDI Database Structure.

Data Binning
Data binning can average data that have the same feature, for example, same position. This feature is also another tool with which you can create grids for grid plots, that is, binning over position. NQDI has the following binning options: Position by grid size: Provides a replacement to the manual grid drawing in the map analysis. This binning option creates a grid that includes all of the positions of the current data selection or complete database, depending on the status of the Calculate check box in the Binning dialog box. Position by decimal places: Similar to the Position by grid size option except that you specify the

number of digits over which the binning is applied, for example, one decimal place. Speed: Averages all of the data from the same speed group. As this data is independent of position, this data cannot be plotted on a map. Instead, NQDI saves the results to the Binning and BinningRelation tables which are equivalent to the MapGrids and GridRelation tables for position binning.

Analysis
General
The Data Analysis tab can be used to analyse the details of one specific session or a specific test. You can select that specific session or test either on the Session List of Current Selection or by using the session navigator.
Sessions
We distinguish between the following types of sessions: IDLE, CALL and DATA. All data from a measurement file will be divided into one of these types of sessions. Example of a Voice Test File:

The File
The
Sessions:
The Tests:
Figure 8-1 Example of a voice test file
A session is the duration of a measurement call from the dial command until the disconnect/release. For voice calls, the session type is known as CALL A session can also be a GPRS data test (like an FTP transmission). Then the session type is known as DATA A session also indicates the time between two calls or between two GPRS data transmissions (session type is known as IDLE).
Tests
A session can contain one or more tests. Type of tests: For Voice calls (session Type = CALL): e.g. LQ, DTMF, For GPRS data tests (session Type = DATA): e.g. Ping, HTTP, SMS,
Session Navigation
The Session Navigation toolbar contains the following controls: Move to the first, previous, next or last session of the current selections
Increase or decrease the scope. The scope defines how many sessions are displayed in the session overview. The default value is 1, which means that apart from the selected session, the previous and next session are also displayed.

Color Labels of Charts

The color of the label is the same as that of the displayed value. So, if a value is black, it is not in chart, except when you have chosen black as the value color in the configuration dialog box of the chart. (see

Figure 7-9)
Figure 8-6 Color Labels of Charts
Adding Values to Charts

Note: You can add a maximum of two values with different units to a chart. To add another value to a chart, grab a label written in bold letters from the left side of the window and drop it onto a chart. If you like to remove a value from the chart, double-click on the corresponding label. For example: You can add ULARFCN (UE Rx Pwr) and ACTIVE SET MONITOR (Aggr. Ec/lo). In this case, you will get a scale for RxPwr on the left side of the chart (-100..20) and a dBm scale on the chart. At this point, it is not possible to add a BLER value. However, you can add TxPwr or another value that uses the same scale. To add BLER, you will have to either remove RXPwr or Ec/lo or you can open the second-line chart by selecting Show 2nd Chart.

GSM Analysis
The GSM Analysis page shows info about the GSM network behaviour. It contains 1 or 2 line chart displays and one table with the GSM/GPRS inter-layer messages. On the left side of the window, some of the most important parameters of the serving cell and the neighbour cells are displayed. After program startup, RxLev and RxQual are shown in the 1st chart. You can choose to have different st nd values shown in the 1 chart as well as open a 2 chart. (see Adding Values to Charts on page 57)

Figure 8-13 GSM Analysis
GSM Message Filter

A GSM message trace is shown in a grid at the bottom of the main window (middle) and the selected message is decoded on the right of the trace grid. By right-clicking on the trace grid, a dialog box appears where you can select which messages to show or hide:
Figure 8-14 GSM/GPRS/UMTS Message Filter
In addition to this, you can also export the Layer-3 messages into a word document:
61

Figure 8-15 Export to comma-separated text file
This will open up a dialog box where the time scope can be defined:
Figure 8-16 Export to word dialog
Depending on the session duration the export and complete decoding of the layer-3 messages can take some time (several minutes up to some hours). So, if possible use the Time range function to limit the number of exported Layer3 messages.
Mobile phone C/I Information

The C/I tab only shows up, if there is Mobile phone C/I Information available. By selecting one or more channels from the drop-down list, NQDI is calculating the corresponding C/I and RxLev values. These values can also be added to the chart as described in Handling of Charts on page 56.
Figure 8-17 Selecting channels
Figure 8-18. The corresponding C/I and RxLev values for the channels
Calculation time
The calculation process increases with the number of selected channels. So, it is wise to select just a few channels at a time to minimize the waiting period.

Graphs
If you go to the Graphs tab, you will initially see the following picture:
Figure 9-1 Initial Screen of a Scatter Plot
With the scatter plot functionality you can plot all values given in the X-Axis field (including Time) against all values in the y-axis field. Please follow the steps described below: Select a value for the x-axis (for example: RxLevFull) Select a value for the y-axis (for example: RxLevSub) Click Plot Data At this point, NQDI creates a scatter plot. If for any reasons there are no values available, the pane remains empty. Depending of the Data Selection and on the measurement values for x and y-axes this calculation may take a while. Below is an example of such a plot:
Chapter 9 | Graphs CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
79

Figure 9-2 Final Scatter Plot
Once you have the result on the screen, you can change the following parameters: Colours of each point Colour Ranges Size of the points By clicking Add page, you can create additional scatter plots. By right clicking with the mouse on the chart, you can either save the chart to a file or copy it into the clipboard to paste it into Word, Excel, PowerPoint or any other application. To create a scatter plot, we need to correlate the two selected values. Due to the nature of the different measurement values (for example: RxQualSub appears every 480 ms and SQUAD LQ every 6 seconds), we need to calculate average values by using a time base. Such a time base could be a value in seconds. However, to optimise database query performance, the following grouping criteria are supported: Message Position Test Message: This value can be used, as long as the two selected values are located in the same table (for example, RxLevFull and RxQualFull). Position: This value can be used for a high-resolution correlation for measurement values coming from different tables (for example, Scanner Rx Lev and Radio RxLev). Test: This value can be used for scatter plots on a test base (like SQUAD LQ vs. RxQualSub, for example).
Chapter 9 | Graphs

Once you click Plot Data, the following query is executed (simplified pseudo code): SELECT avg(xValue) avg(yValue) Number of values FROM xValueTable yValueTable WHERE Group By whereConditions groupingCriterion
Example of the results set:
RxQualFull (avgXValue)
0 0 0 0 .. 1 1
RxLevFull (avgYValue)
-110 -109 -108 -107 .. -110 -109
Number of values
1 1 5 32 .. 0 4
Then, one point is plotted for every value pair where the number of values is > 0. After that, every point is colorized based on the number of values. The user can then decide how to colorize all the points. The general color scheme is as follows:
All Points where Number of values is between 1 and
Low Value
All Points where Number of Values is between Low Value and High Value
All Points where Number of Values is > High Value
Figure 9-3 Color scheme for plot data
You can configure the colors, the High Value and the Low value, by editing the values of the following controls on the Graph display (click on Show Adv. Settings to display the color settings):

You can choose to spread a different color for a specific range, e.g. Start pos: 1 to End pos: 5 has color spread from red to green and Start pos: 6 to End pos: 16 has the color spread from blue to brown. This will allow you to highlight a specific value you might be looking for. You can edit the name of item or remove an item or remove all items by right clicking on the item. Shade Type Individual
95

Figure 10-16 Shade Type Individual
With this shade type, you can define individual ranges of values ( see Fig. 95) and you can assign a symbol to each range. The color is then given automatically when you plot this item. You can add as many ranges as you need, using the Add Range button. You can also update the range after defining it, using the Update Range button. Shade type Values
Figure 10-17 Shade-Type Values
Add each value with Add Value button. This will generate an item in the list. A font symbol, a color and a size can be defined for each item in the list. Double-click the list item to change its symbol, colour and size in the Shade Style window. This option allows you to make certain value/action (such as Connection Failed) clearer when plotting the map. Shade Type Ranges Fixed
96

Figure 10-18 Shade Type Ranges Fixed
This shade is a mix of the shades Individual and Ranges. The ranges must be entered (so they are fixed), but you can define all properties (color and symbol etc) for each range. If you check Use circles instead of symbol (see section 9.6.3), the list of symbols and sizes will be greyed out but you still can define its properties. This shade type can be used in both points and grids. In grids, an average value is calculated for the area within a grid square and then the grid square is shaded accordingly.
Use a Second Item for Symbol Size:

Check this if you are plotting 2 different values on one map, such as RxLev and RxQual. In Fig. 98, RxLev values will be plotted using different colors while the RxQual values will be plotted using a different symbol size.
Figure 10-19 Use a Second Item for Symbol Size
Exporting Mapplots
NQDI is providing a functionality to import and export map plots. To export a map plot, just click the export button and the map plot export window appears. First select the file you wish to export from the dropdown list. If you choose <NEW FILE> then your choice will be saved into a new map plot export file, which you can specify in a save dialog. If you choose any other item from the drop-down list you are able to modify
Chapter 10 | Map CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 97

the original map plot files. As you chose one of these items, a list of groups from the selected file appears in the chosen map plot groups list. The different symbols have the following meaning: Represents an unmodified map plot group from the selected file
A new map plot group from the database will be added to the selected file.
A map plot group from the selected file will be overwritten with the one in the database. By dragging and dropping files from one list to the other it is possible to specify which map plot groups should be added, removed or overwritten in the selected file. Note: Once you have overwritten a map plot in an original file, it is not possible to undo this action. Because you are able to overwrite already existing map plot groups with the map plot import functionality its recommended that you always save exported map plot files in a separate, custom map plot file and prevent overwriting the existing files. Once you have chosen all the map plots you want to export, press the export button to choose the location to which the map plots should be saved. Note: The file format of the map plot export file is a regular structured query language (SQL) file. While it is possible to execute this file in a standard query analyzer, it is recommended that you use the import functionality in NQDI to re-import these map plots.
98

Figure 10-20 An export of map plot groups
Importing Map Plots

Import map plots by clicking on the import button in the map plot configuration dialog. After pressing the load button and selecting a map plot export file, the map plot groups to be imported are displayed. Note that unchecked groups are already stored in the database. You can force the import of these items by checking the groups and agree to the import-warning message. Clicking the import button will finalize the importing process.
99

Figure 10-21 An import of map plot groups
AutoImport of custom map plots in new databases

If you want to automatically import custom map plots, which you have generated with the map plot exporter, into each new generated database, you can just save them into the MapplotScripts folder in your Netqual/NQDI/ folder. Each of these custom map plot export files will be imported into any new database that you will create. Note: If a map plot group in the custom map plot file has the same name as a map plot in an original file, then the custom map plot will not be automatically imported, while generating a new database. If you want this map plot to be imported automatically, then overwrite this map plot in the original map plot file in the export map plot menu.
Validity checking of map plot items

A new feature is the validity checking of map plot items. If you press the checking button , all current map plot items will be tested, if they fulfil the minimal requirements for a complete map plot item. These are: Having a shade selected Having at least one field specified and selected
If one of these requirements should fail, a warning dialog will be displayed. Note: It is not possible to leave the map plot configuration dialog while there are wrong items specified. If you try to do so, the warning dialog will be displayed and you will be redirected to the incorrect item, to fix it.

Stop drawing: This will stop the drawing of the grid (used normally only for the fine grid).
Display a Grid Value

The grid items have some special parameters in the Shade Editor:
Figure 10-40 Grid Values in Shade Editor
It is possible to draw the values as circles instead of as a special symbol. The size of the circle depends on the grid step size and the user can also set the fill grade. In the example above, the maximum fill grade is set between 20% and 80% for values between 1 and 100. This means if the size value (in the example the field num) is 1 then the circle will fill 20% of the grid square, and if the value is 100 then the circle will fill 80% of the grid square. The circle size is calculated in a linear formula for values between the defined ranges. The figure below shows values drawn with circles:

Event Queries
Introduction
Event Queries are SQL-based queries which are executed on a data set in an NQDI database. Overall, event queries can calculate different arithmetic values around an event. The user can specify these within a predefined times scope around such events. Example: Avg Ec/Io of the Active Set, 5 seconds before an Active Set Update Command Every results set is then stored in the NQDI and can be used for any type of reports. Every results set contains a sessionId, testId and a timestamp.
Event Selector Dialog box

By clicking on the event query button , the user will see the event selector dialog.
Here, you can select from a list of existing event queries the ones you would like to execute. The picture below shows an empty list. So, you initially need to define some queries.
Figure 11-1 The event selector dialog
Creation of new event queries

By clicking to New on the Event Query Selector dialog box, you can start the event query wizard to generate a new event query.
Step 1: Selecting a trigger point

Here, you can choose between 5 categories of trigger points: KPI: Session: Test: Layer3 Message: Call Marker: end or start time of any KPI value begin or end time of a session begin or end time of a test any RRC, CC, GMM, RR, MM or SM message any call marker event (Dial, Drop, .)
Chapter 11 | Event Queries CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
114

Figure 11-2 The first step in the event query wizard
Step 2: Choosing the value to calculate and the time boundaries

In the next step, you can select the value that you would like to use for the calculation. Initially, we provide the following values: GSM - TA GSM - TxPwr GSM - RxLevFull GSM - RxLevSub GSM - RxQualFull GSM - RxQualSub GSM - BCCH_RxLev GSM - N1_RxLev GSM - N2_RxLev GSM - N3_RxLev GSM - N4_RxLev GSM - N5_RxLev GSM - N6_RxLev WCDMA - AggrEcIo_PSC WCDMA numCells WCDMA - Strongest EcIo in active set * WCDMA RSCP * WCDMA - RSCP strongest SC in active set * WCDMA - TxPwr WCDMA RxPwr WCDMA BLER *
* These values do not support the calculation of arithmetic values (see Step 3: Selecting arithmetic values) because they are already results of special arithmetic calculations themselves. Here, you can also select the amount of time before and after the event. Only values within this time boundary will be calculated.
Chapter 11 | Event Queries CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 115

Figure 11-3 Step number 2 : Value to calculate and time options
Step 3: Selecting arithmetic values

Except for special values mentioned above, arithmetic values can be selected to define the calculated results in the next step. The following arithmetic values are supported: Minimum Maximum Average Median Summary Last value before the chosen event First value after the chosen event Number of values before the chosen event Number of values after the chosen event The number of the chosen event (count)
116

Figure 11-4 A selection of arithmetic values
Step 4: Choosing a unique name

In this dialog box, you need to select a unique name, by which the chosen selections will be stored in the database.
Figure 11-5 The naming dialog
Step 5: The confirmation window

The overview window provides you with all the necessary information of the chosen selections that he has made. After the confirmation, the data will be stored in the database.

To automatically calculate the event queries, select the query (in either the Existing events or the Chosen events list) and press the Enable button. The color of the selected event query changes now to red. All queries that are displayed in red color will be executed automatically after importing any data. Note: The data which is already in the database before selecting the automatic calculation will not be calculated until the chosen event is manually executed or until some new data is imported.
119

Figure 11-10 The event query will be automatically calculated after each import
Example of the result set

The gathered results are stored in a database table. Each row in the table represents a valid trigger point, which meets the specification of the executed event query. Each row contains the session identifier, test identifier and the message time of the chosen trigger point. The result set is linked to the executed query trough a query identifier. Also every selected arithmetic value is stored in an own field. Values, which were not selected in the arithmetic calculation, contain the value NULL in the table. A special field named special contains calculated values, which are special calculations themselves and do not support arithmetic values (see Step 2: Choosing the value to calculate and the time boundaries) The data in this table can be displayed in an Excel report.
Figure 11-11 Example of Results Table Values
Creating a Report From the Event Queries

In the reporting menu is a menu item called Event Queries. Below this item are the event queries that were created in the event query selector before. It is important to calculate the event query in the event selector first, before trying to execute the corresponding report. Note: Only data, which is selected in NQDI, will be considerate for the event query report.

Historical Export
The historical export enables you to copy database information from a source database to another database.
Using the Historical Export

First, you have to choose the destination database to which you want to copy the data. The source database is always the database into which you are currently logged. The destination database can be on the local machine or elsewhere on a machine in the local area network. Next you have to specify the grade of information, specified by the level, which you want to copy to the destination database. The following levels are available: Level 1: Export only Key Parameters Includes: Central Values, Data and Video key values Level 2: Export Key Parameters + Time Domain/Protocol Data Includes: Other Data and video values, protocol and time domain values Level 3: Export Level 2 + Layer 3 Data Includes: Layer 3 Data Level 4: Export Level 3 + Layer 2 Data Includes: Layer 2 Data Level 5: Export Level 4 + Layer 1 and Scanner Data Includes: Layer 1 Data, Scanner and IP Data Level 6: Export all Data Includes: Audio, video and fax recordings Note: A higher level always includes all previous layers.
Figure 13-1 Choosing the destination database and level
Because the smallest unit in the historical export is a file, you have to select the files which you wants to copy to the destination database. It is also possible to filter the file by their calling modules.
Chapter 13 | Historical Export CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS

Reporting
Execute Reports Report Group KPI

The Reports in the report group KPI are made of KPIs as described in the document Manual KPI Users Guide.
Custom Reports
Although we provide a lot of reports, you may want to define your own reports. To do this you need some deeper knowledge of MS Excel and SQL. From the Configuration menu, select Report Configurator and the following dialog box will appear:
Figure 14-1 Report Configurator

Delete the selected (and loaded) report. Import reports from a file (only in combination with export). Export selected report(s) to a file (which can then be imported into another database. Test whether the SQL syntax is correct
On the right-hand side, you can edit your report query in an easy way (you still need knowledge of SQL). The query is divided in SELECT, FROM, WHERE and GROUPBY clause. For a new line, press CTRL + ENTER. Based on: Select TestInfo, if your query relies on tests. If it relies only on sessions ( Call Statistic Report), then you have to select Sessions.
If you want to produce an Excel report, you should take an existing report and edit it, then adapt the Excel template. The first page of the Excel template contains all the fields of the SELECT clause of the query. Then, update the pivot table as required. With version 10.2 a new report handling has been introduced. In the applications Reports/ReportScripts directory are only reports from SwissQual. All customer reports are located in the user directory (definable in the settings). Also the xls files are stored in the database. This has the advantage that different users can use the same reports, not only the user who created the report (before, the xls file was missing on other PCs). But this has also some influence on how the user can edit a report. If a excel template must be modified, click on the Edit Excel template button ( ). This button is only enabled if it is not a SwissQual report. Excel will automatically open and load the appropriate report. After clicking this button, NQDI shows a dialog:
Figure 14-2 NQDI dialog when editing report template
After you have applied the changes in the template and closed Excel, click OK to import the changes to the database.
Export Reports
Select the export function in the Report Configurator to export customised Reports to a directory. This is only the SQL script for a Report. The corresponding Excel file is in the directory NQDI/Reports. Select the Excel file and copy the file in the same directory.

Specify Report Name, Report Group and Grouping

The name field specifies the name for the new report template and it is necessary. The group field specifies the group which the generated template will be added. If the group does not exist, the Report Generator will create a new group with the given name. It is not necessary to define a group the report will be in the main tree of groups. Finally, grouping the generated report can be performed using the group by drop-down menu where you can chose which entities you want to compare, for example, Collection Name, Campaign Name, Calling Module, Home Operator, Serving Operator, Technology, IMEI, Cell ID, LAC, and an A Side Device. One group by criteria is necessary in maximum are three criteria are allowed.
Adding a KPI to the new report template

In the left list of the form the available KPIs are displayed. To add a KPI to the report template select the desired KPI and click on the Add button ( ). The selected KPI will appear in the list of the chosen KPI items. It is also possible to add a new KPI by dragging it from the available KPI list and then drop it on the chosen KPI list. For each added KPI there will appear a special configuration sheet to the right. See Configure a KPI item for further information. By selecting the Show KPI ID checkbox, the KPI ID of the available KPI items will be displayed. If the same KPI is added a second time, you will be prompted to agree on it. If you accept, you must enter a new name for the KPI item, so it can be uniquely identified. The template does not accept more than 20 KPI items.
Remove a KPI from the new report template

To remove a KPI item, select from the list and press the Remove button ( ). The selected KPI item will disappear from the chosen KPI list. Alternatively, it is also possible to remove the KPI by dragging it from the chosen KPI list and then drop it on the available KPI list.
Change the KPI position

The KPIs in the report template will be displayed in the same order as they are grouped in the chosen list. To change their position in the list, rearrange them by dragging and dropping them in the list. The KPI item Scrambling Code Coverage cannot be rearranged. It will always be at the bottom of the list.
Configure a KPI item

Each chosen KPI item can be modified in the configuration sheet, either by selecting the KPI item in the chosen list or by clicking on the tab to the right.
135

A Diversity file has the extension sqz. Such files are created with the Diversity Test System. A QualiPoc file has the extension mf. yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss-tttt-kkkk-ssss-vvvv-A.* for A-side files. The letters have the following meaning: yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss : The timestamp in the filename helps matching and sorting the files and is of use when the timestamp of the filesystem is lost (e.g. when using tttt : kkkk : ssss : Task ID (as used in NQTM) Customer ID (from the license key of the A-Side) System ID (from the license key of the A-Side), Unique per Operating System Instance (PC, PCM, Symbian Device...), but only per Customer.

A session can either be a call session, a data session or an idle session. We distinguish between the following types of sessions: IDLE, CALL and DATA. All data from a measurement file will be divided into one of these types of sessions. Example of a Voice Test File: The File: time
The Sessions:
The Tests: A session is the duration of a measurement call from the dial command until the disconnect/release. For voice calls, the session type is CALL A session can also be a GPRS/UMTS data test (like an FTP transmission). Then, the session type is DATA A session is also the time between two calls or between two data transmissions (session type = IDLE).

A Call session includes all data between the dial command to the device and the call end. Normally, a call session contains exactly one call. A Data session includes all data between the start of a data test and the end of a data test. An Idle session contains all data that are not allocated to either a data session or a call session. For example, the data between two calls or that data before the first data session. A test can be of the following types: Voice: Speech DTMF Noise Suppression Inband Round Trip (RTT) Acoustic Echo Passive (AEC) NiNA+/P.563 VMS (QualiPoc only) Data: Ping Ping Trace FTP UDPDL GPRSAttach GPRSDetach PDPActivation PDPDeactivation GPRSAvailability HTTPBrowser EMailSend EMailReceive WAP MMSSend MMSReceive SMSSend SMSReceive UDPPlus HTTPTransfer Video: VideoQT ViedoReal VideoQTSmart VideoRealSmart A test is always assigned to a session.

Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is permitted. The requested address is not valid in its context. A socket operation encountered a dead network. A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network. The connection has been broken. An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. An operation on a socket could not be performed (buffer space or queue full). A connect request was made on an already connected socket. A request to send or receive data was disallowed (socket is not connected or no address). A request to send or receive data was disallowed (socket already shut down). Too many references to some kernel object. A connection attempt failed (timeout). No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. Cannot translate name. Name component or name was too long. A socket operation failed because the destination host was down.

SQL Server Database Management
The screenshots shown are taken from an SQL 2005 installation. However, the SQL 2008 Management Studio is very similar compared to the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.
Backup and Restore a Database

This chapter gives a short description on how to backup, and in case of an error, restore a database. The backup is recommended before you start to upgrade a database.
Backup the Database

Start the SQL Server Management Studio from the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Group. Go to your server and select the database you like to backup. Then select the menu entry Tasks\Back Up
Figure 17-1 Backup a Database
In the following dialog select with the add button a directory where the backup should be stored.
Chapter 17 | SQL Server Database Management CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS
175

Figure 17-2 Add a destination path
On the options tab check the following as shown below:
Figure 17-3 Backup options
176

Click OK to start the backup.
Restore a Database
To restore a database, select the restore option from the menu. In the following dialog specify the name of the new database name (in the Fig below this will be NQDI). Be sure that the database with the name given does not exist! Also select the backup file generated earlier from where the database is restored. For this check the From device radio button and after that the Select Devices button to browse to the backup file.
Figure 17-4 Restore a database
Please check on the Option tab that the physical file name path exists (In the options below this would be C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\). If you restore the database to another name as it was originally or to another computer, then you maybe have to change the physical file path and name.
177

Figure 17-5 Restore options
Clicking OK will restore the database. Wait until the restore is finished.
