NePA.
Introduction:
NePA is able to parse both Nokia & Ericsson network “dump”
For how to use this tool, may just read the sections below. If you like this tool, may also want to take a
look at SiCE which does plotting of site database in MapInfo and Google Earth.
NePA
Access 0min 15secs
Excel 0min 48secs
Text 0min 1secs
If exporting many tables, Access is preferred. A fair balance between speed & organization of files.
If exporting a few tables, may choose either Excel or Text.
The time taken to export more RNC is almost proportional to the time above.
NePA
Intial Process 2min 14secs
Full Export 4min 24secs
Parameter Check NA
Above timings were tested on Vista, 2GB RAM, Intel dual core 1.66GHZ
Usage:
Generally, Text format is always the fastest regardless of the number of tables exported.
Note: Due to Microsoft office limitations on the number of rows/columns and etc, the tool will
automatically export tables to Text format if not able to fit into Access or Excel format. This limitations
happens for Office 2003/Office 2007 or before.
If Export Current is choosen, then only the current displayed result is exported
If Export Multi is choosen, then a second dialog box will appear as below which allows Users to choose
the tables interested in.
Misc
Param Checks: Is to do a parameter audit against the baseline. The Parameters_Baseline.txt must be
present to do this.
Note: It allows parameter checks on cell levels. Example for UtranCells in RNC, different cells have
different primaryScramblingCode. Or for Sectors in RBS, different sectors may have different
maxNumHsPdschCodes values.
To do a parameter check on individual level, below is an example where “MO” column is filled which
can uniquely identify the cells or sectors. If “MO” column is not filled, then it will be a network level.
All keywords like MOC_Name, MO, Param_Name & Baseline_Value are CASE SENSITIVE (eg:
primaryCpichPower is not same as primarycpichpower)
It is possible to carry out both network level and individual level changes concurrently. Example below
is for “primaryCpichPower” for UtranCell MoClass. Thus, example below will print out all utrancells that
are not 300 and the 3 cells that are also not 270.
Files Comparison: Do a difference between 2 files. A common usage is doing a comparison between
network dump from different days. Example: A network wide parameters changes were done and
wants to get all the changes made, Or a network upgrade was done and wants to check parameters
values Before vs After the upgrade.
Note: Possibly for network ugprade, new parameters are created or existing parameters are removed.
This will also print out these parameters.
‘MO’ must exists in both files to carry out the files comparison. Example below is from RBS
