Param Checks: I" to do a parameter audit again"t the $a"eline. +he #arameter"R>a"eline.t*t mu"t $e
pre"ent to do thi".



Note: It allow" parameter check" on cell level". E*ample for ,tran-ell" in )N-, different cell" have
different primary.cram$ling-ode. 4r for .ector" in )>., different "ector" may have different
ma*NumH"#d"ch-ode" value".
+o do a parameter check on individual level, $elow i" an e*ample where &24' column i" filled which
can uni9uely identify the cell" or "ector". If &24' column i" not filled, then it will $e a network level.

It i" po""i$le in the &24' column to u"e either
&2e-onte*tSG)N-@D,2anagedElementSD,)nc(unctionSD,,tran-ellSG7D@6@A@?BF<>' or :u"t
&G7D@6@A@?BF<>'. In mo"t ca"e", the "horter format will "uffice however for )>. node, may re9uire
the longer format.

All keyword" like 24-RName, 24, #aramRName % >a"elineR=alue are -A.E .EN.I+I=E (eg:
primary-pich#ower i" not "ame a" primarycpichpower!

It i" po""i$le to carry out $oth network level and individual level change" concurrently. E*ample $elow
i" for &primary-pich#ower' for ,tran-ell 2o-la"". +hu", e*ample $elow will print out all utrancell" that
are not A@@ and the A cell" that are al"o not 0<@.




Files Comparison: /o a difference $etween 0 file". A common u"age i" doing a compari"on $etween
network dump from different day". E*ample: A network wide parameter" change" were done and
want" to get all the change" made, 4r a network upgrade wa" done and want" to check parameter"
value" >efore v" After the upgrade.

Note: #o""i$ly for network ugprade, new parameter" are created or e*i"ting parameter" are removed.
+hi" will al"o print out the"e parameter".

K24 mu"t e*i"t" in $oth file" to carry out the file" compari"on. E*ample $elow i" from )>.
