1.1 NetAct in Brief

Nokia NetAct provides one consolidated view over any network, even the most
complicated, multi-domain, multi-technology system. NetAct is virtualized for minimal
downtime and resilience and provides full visibility and control over the network,
whether traditional or cloud-based.
NetAct offers a uniform set of tools for radio, core and transport network
management all accessed through one view. Based on industry standards and open
architecture, NetAct lets the operator manage multi-technology networks with one
system. With process automation, network operators get reduced administration,
maintenance and system integration costs. NetAct also provides clear way forward
for moving from existing to future network technologies.
With NetAct, the operator can protect hardware and software investment, as well as
retain existing processes and manage the network with same amount of personnel,
when upgrading the network, for example, from WCDMA to LTE. NetAct also
supports customer-specific extensions and thus can adapt to operator-specific
business processes and needs.

1.2 NetAct Functional Blocks

Nokia NetAct has been developed to meet operator needs– now and into the future.
Constant network growth, a combination of different mobile broadband technologies
and the need for simplicity require OSS to evolve. NetAct is highly scalable and can
handle not only the evolving technology, but also network growth and changes in the
networks service offering.
NetAct Applications
NetAct Monitor brings centralized network monitoring for all network technologies
from element management to operational management. NetAct Monitor supports
user-specific workflows. Powerful filtering and correlation of alarms lead to fast root
cause identification.
The NetAct Performance Manager helps improving the service quality and optimizing
network performance through real-time performance management and monitoring.
NetAct Performance Manager solution is scalable to suit even the largest networks.
NetAct Configurator offers comprehensive functionality for configuration management
with common processes and data storage in multi-technology radio and core
networks. Automated network planning and network consistency checking actions
can be carried out with easy-to-use tools. NetAct Configurator enables flexible and
automatic workflows for fast network roll-out and expansion.
NetAct Administrator applications allow the management of network element
hardware and software from one central location. It also offers a backup and restore
functionality across network domains.
Nokia CloudBand Application Manager automatically governs the deployment and
management of cloud-based applications, including allocation of resources,
configuration, performance and fault management.
Network 360 provides a single, simplified and integrated view of all the operational
data from your network elements. By cutting through the complexity, Network 360
helps operations personnel to quickly see the network status ‘big picture’ at a given
point of time.
In addition to NetAct applications there are also standalone tools that are dedicated
to specific management functions and provide advanced management features, for
example NetAct Advanced Configurator for configuration management. These
standalone tools need a dedicated hardware platform and are sold separately. For
more information, refer to the operating documentation of each tool.

Virtualized OSS
NetAct’s virtualized platform allows for efficient hardware utilization. Being virtual also
means near-zero downtime during upgrades and improved availability.
Scalability in virtualized infrastructure
Scalability is an important feature of the virtual NetAct environment since there are
software components that can be located on more than one VM, and one VM can
contain more than one software component. If the load increases beyond a virtual
machine’s capabilities, the software component and/or virtual machine must be
scaled to cope with the increased load.
However, not all software components scale in a similar way:
• Software components can scale horizontally, which means that additional
virtual machines need to be provisioned to enable the software component to
distribute its load.
• Software components can scale vertically, which means that additional
resources (CPU and memory) need to be allocated to the virtual machine
where the software component is hosted.
Cloud ready
NetAct offers full visibility into both traditional networks and cloud-based networks. It
supports hybrid networks, providing a logical step-by-step transition to virtualized
network functions.
Northbound Interfaces
To facilitate its integration in multi-vendor environments, NetAct provides several
open northbound interfaces (standard-compliant and proprietary ones) that offer to
operators a unified management capability for the entire network. For this purpose, a
mediation application function provided by a so-called Northbound Interface Agent
performs the mapping between the management information received by NetAct or
generated in NetAct and the information required by the upper level management
systems.

1.2.1 Fast Pass

Fast Pass introduces a whole new method for decoupling new Network Element
release introduction from the necessity of upgrading NetAct. This facilitates early
rollout of NE releases and may help reducing NE release deployment time, as well as
help optimize the NetAct upgrade timing.
With Fast Pass feature, it is possible to get basic NE support, but for the new NE
features to be fully supported, functionality development coming with new NetAct
release is needed.
In summary, Fast Pass benefits are:
• Decouple NE release from NetAct release
• Flexibility: enable at least n+1 NE compatibility to existing NetAct
• Speed: NE SW trialing & rollout without NetAct upgrade
Basic support refers to the following:

• Integration capability
• FM – new alarms including alarm manual pages
• PM – new measurement and counter support including aggregation
• CM – new object and parameter support
• Compatibility (i.e. support on previous NE release level) is provided for log,
trace, software management, software asset management (SWAM)
Full support refers to the following:

• New trace and SWAM formula support
• Advanced FM, PM, CM content (correlation rules, KPIs, reports, CM rules)
• Advanced application functionality (site rehosting etc.)

1.2.2 Advanced Risk Management with Stretched Cluster and

Disaster Recovery
Advanced Risks Management Solutions Stretched Cluster and Disaster Recover,
improve system reliability and availability and is based on virtualization.
Operators want to ensure business continuity in case of man-made or natural
disasters, such as earthquakes, sabotages or human error. If a system failure occurs,
due to above reasons, or even if a planned outage takes place, Stretched Cluster
and NetAct Disaster Recovery solutions ensure that network management operations
are restarted with minimum interruption to business. These solutions also enable
simpler deployment and contribute to faster upgrades as well as reduces the
dependency on underlying HW.
NetAct Disaster Recovery and Stretched Cluster solutions, keep operator data safe
by replicating it continuously from the primary site to the recovery site. Replicated
data consists of database content, all user data and LDAP data.
The solutions are implemented accordingly with customer requirements: Stretched
cluster allows fully automatic failure handling in case of emergency, but the distance
between the sites is limited. In the Disaster Recovery solution, the distance between
sites is unlimited but the failure handling is manual: it is required to execute one
single command from primary site or from recovery site to move all network
management functionality over in less than 30 minutes to recovery site to ensure
business continuity.

1.2.3 Telco cloud management

NetAct offers full visibility into both traditional networks and cloud-based networks. It
supports hybrid networks, providing a logical step-by-step transition to virtualized
network functions.
NetAct offers one view to the whole network and ensures that the operator can
continue using familiar toolset for monitoring faults, reporting on network performance
and configuring the network, regardless of whether the managed network elements
are traditional physical network elements or virtualized network functions.
NetAct provides consolidated view of Virtual Network function through Nokia
CloudBand Application Manager (CBAM). NetAct receives the network topology and
resource information from CBAM. Based on the topology information NetAct collects
the Configuration data from the Virtual network function like IMS. After the
configuration is retrieved the alarm collection and measurement data is collected
straight from the virtual network function. Configuration management information is
available in the NetAct Configurator, alarms are visualized and correlated through
NetAct Monitor, Measurements are basis for Key Performance Indicators and
visualized through NetAct Performance Manager. All the collected information is
available through northbound interfaces to umbrella systems. NetAct is collecting all
the information as an automated manner.
As networks evolve towards virtualized network functions, the period during which the
operator has both traditional network elements like MSS and MGW as well as
virtualized network functions in his network can be managed with the same tools.
This means that the operator needs only one management system to manage whole
network.
NetAct functions for Telco cloud:
• Visualize Telco Cloud through one user interface
• Configure Telco Cloud as one entity
• Ensure parameter consistency

1.3 NetAct Managed Network Model

The role of NetAct in managing a network can be classified into two categories:
NetAct operation system itself and NetAct Global Level (umbrella) products.
A cluster is a networked grouping of one or more servers and disk drives that are
designed to support each other if a failure occurs in one server or network
component. A cluster consists of several co-operating nodes that are interconnected
in a redundant way to distribute information and resources.
A NetAct cluster is a hierarchical, highly available, and secured computing system
that consists of multiple internal components, such as servers, a shared storage
system, LAN switches, and routers. It contains the necessary security control, such
as encryption capability in data communication, firewall protection, and a hardened
system platform.
Regional Cluster
A Regional Cluster manages a specific region and provides a view to a network area
or technology. The network elements of a certain sub-network are connected to and
managed by a Regional Cluster, which contains the network management system for
that region.
NetAct can contain several Regional Clusters, which can be connected to the NetAct
Products that work in a Global level.
Each Regional Cluster runs a database that stores the data arriving from the network
elements in the managed region. In the Regional Cluster you do not have access to
the data that arrives from network elements belonging to another Regional Cluster.
You can have an overview of all the managed objects in the network only in the
Global level.
Global Level Products

The Global Level Products are umbrella solutions that provide an entire view of the
network in areas of Fault Management, Performance Management and Configuration
Management.
The global level products are intended for centralized, network-wide management
tasks. They are not connected directly to the network elements but communicate with
one or more Regional Clusters. Because these platforms are connected to all the
Regional Clusters, you can have a view of all the network elements.
Multiple NetAct instances and other Network Management Systems or other vendors
(MVI) can be connected to a single NetAct Global Product instance.
There are two NetAct Global level Products: NetAct Advanced Configurator and NSN
Performance Manager.

2.1 NetAct Start Page

NetAct Start Page is a centralized launch pad for starting NetAct user interface
applications. You can start all the NetAct applications that have been configured and
for which you have permission to launch from NetAct Start.
NetAct uses Single Sign-On (SSO) for accessing applications through NetAct Start.
To be able to access applications through NetAct Start, a user must have a valid user
name and password. The user also must be granted the permissions for accessing
the needed applications. Depending on the permissions granted for the user, a list of
published applications is visible to the user.
From the right-hand dropdown menu, the user can select between two different
views.
Folder view shows the different fragments as folders. The applications are grouped
into the following functional areas:
• Administration: Applications for administering adaptations.
• Configuration: NetAct CM applications, License Manager and Software
Manager.
• Monitoring: NetAct Monitor.
• Reporting: NetAct Reporter.
• Security: Certificate, User Management and NE User Management
applications.
• User Assistance: Operating documentation library.
Clicking the Online Help icon opens the Online Help Browser. By selecting ‘Show all
applications’ from the dropdown menu the user can see all the applications in one
view and access them by mouse click.
All the Java applications are installed on the application server cluster when NetAct is
deployed. When a Java Rich Client is accessed for the first time, it is downloaded by
the JWS to user workstation and launched for the user. The next time it is accessed,
the application is started from the local JWS cache.
JWS checks the version of the application every time it is launched on the user
workstation, and if necessary, updates the application from the application server.

3.2 Administration Category

Adaptation Manager
An adaptation is a set of fragments such as configuration management (CM),
Performance Management (PM), Fault Management (FM), and other fragments.
These fragments contain data that enables NetAct to communicate with any Network
Element. Several releases of an adaptation can be deployed to NetAct to support
multiple versions of network elements.
Adaptation Manager allows managing adaptations. A user with adequate roles and
permissions can perform the following actions with Adaptation Manager: Deploying
adaptations, Un-deploying adaptations, Redeploying adaptations, viewing
adaptations.
Dynamic Adaptation
Dynamic Adaptation GUI is a web application, which provides an interface to view
and trigger the Dynamic Adaption process. It allows as well monitoring the dynamic
adaptation status. The network elements integrated via Dynamic Adaptation are
those managed by @vantage agent, generic agent or ne3s agent.
When Dynamic Adaptation is triggered for a network element from the Web UI, the
request is dispatched to Dynamic Adaptation Mediation. After that, mediation starts to
upload metadata for the network element. These metadata contents are processed,
and then adaptations are generated dynamically. Adaptations for @vantage agent or
generic agents are generated dynamically based on the fault management,
performance management, and configuration management metadata present on the
network element. Adaptations for ne3s agent are generated dynamically based on
the fault management and performance management metadata present on the
network element. The generated adaptations are then deployed into NetAct System
dynamically. Once the Adaptation process is completed, Dynamic Adaptation GUI is
updated with the status of the adaptation.
Map Administrator
Map Administrator is an administration tool designed for managing the Geographic
Information System (GIS). GIS combines data with location. The main usages for
such a system are data retrieval and visualization based on the location, for example,
showing computed network coverage or dominance on a map.
NE Integration Wizard
Network Element Integration Wizard application, is used by system administrator to
automatically integrate a network element to NetAct.

Plain SNMP FM Mediator

SNMP FM Mediator application allows system administrator to activate, deactivate,
and configure parameters of agent supervision, trap reliability, and alarm upload
functions for all network elements. Parameters as such as timeout, retries, number of
messages to be handled and so on can be configured with this tool.
With SNMP FM Mediator, you can:
• Configure global parameters for agent supervision
• Configure global parameters for trap reliability
• Configure parameters for agent supervision by network elements
• Configure global parameters for alarm synchronization
Plain SNMP PM Mediator

SNMP PM Mediator allows system administrator to activate, deactivate, and
configure parameters of PM mediation (for example, timeout, retries and number
messages handled in parallel mode).
• Using SNMP PM Mediator, administrator user can:
• Configure global parameters
• Configure parameters for PM Polling by network element
• Configure polling for existing network elements
SNMP PM Mediator application allows administrator to configure performance
management measurement data polling for the SNMP based network elements and
stores the performance indicators in the system. The performance indicators are
configured in the performance management adaptation and the mapping between
SNMP variables and performance indicators is defined by the SNMP PM fragment of
the adaptation. The network elements having SNMP PM Fragments deployed on
NetAct can be polled by the SNMP PM mediation. If performance management
adaptation exists, then the data is used by performance management and stored in
performance management database.
Working Set Manager

A working set is a collection of managed objects. Working Set Manager enables you
to create, view, browse, combine, export and remove working sets. You can create
working sets based on preferred criteria:
• DN list
• Area
• FM Query
• CM Query
• CM Advanced Query
OS9051-C-1800
31
Additionally, you can create a new working set based on existing working sets in the
Combine tab.
Working sets can be managed by the Working Set Manager application or command
line interface (CLI).
There are two kinds of working sets:
• Static working sets - where the list of managed objects is invariable
• Dynamic working sets - based on constant criteria, but the managed objects
are added to or removed from a working set based on network changes
Note:
The maximum number of managed objects in each working set is 100 000.
There are three working set types:
• DN List - a type of working set that consist of a static list of managed object
DNs.
• Area, CM Query, FM Query, CM Advanced Query, Combined - types of
working sets dynamically changing content, based on the selected criteria.
• Legacy - a working set type that was not migrated to the new data
representation, or its migration script was not executed correctly. This working
set cannot be edited

Alarm Reports Dashboard

Alarm Reports Dashboard allows the reporting of statistics for alarms in the network,
providing tools for searching, filtering and scheduling of reports. Using Alarm Reports
Dashboard, you can access the following:
• Search Alarms
• Schedule Search
• View Reports
HP Systems Insight Manager

HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM) is used for monitoring server hardware, DCN
routers and switches, firewalls, and storage devices in the NetAct system. During the
automated NetAct installation, HP SIM automatically discovers and identifies the HP
Proliant servers that are part of the NetAct cluster. Other hardware, such as the EMC
VNX storage system or the DCN switches, can be manually integrated with HP SIM.
HP SIM collects fault management (FM) data from the hardware in the managed
system and forwards these to NetAct self-monitoring agents for further processing.
All hardware faults are visible in HP SIM. Critical and major hardware faults that
require attention are interpreted by the HP SIM service, which categorizes the alarms
into three groups: server hardware faults, DCN hardware faults, and storage
hardware faults. In addition to displaying the alarms in the HP SIM GUI, the HP SIM
service sends notifications on the critical and major alarms to NetAct Self-Monitoring
Agents, which in turn, forward them to NetAct Monitor.
MSC Server Pool Monitor

The MSC Server Pool Monitor application can monitor Mobile services Switching
Center Server Pool load distribution. It allows you to view the number of subscribers
in MSC Server (MSS) and Visitor Location Register (VLR) for the last 24 hours and
run the selected MML commands to see MSS related information. It provides real-
time information and polls the number of subscribers every five minutes for each
MSS. The alarm 25000 will be raised if there is an uneven load exceeding the
configured value among MSC Servers in one pool.
Trace Viewer
Tracing is a concept name for an optional NetAct functionality, which is performed by
the TraceViewer application, and allows the tracing of mobile equipment and
subscribers in mobile networks. TraceViewer enables global tracing, which means
that a user can trace an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number or
International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number throughout the network.
Additionally, the TraceViewer application provides a mechanism for administering,
collecting and viewing information related to a specific subscriber or mobile
equipment.
OS9051-C-1800

TraceViewer can activate traces in several network elements, including Nokia RNC,
FlexiNS. In addition, TraceViewer receives events from Nokia BSC and MGW
network elements.
Trace data is collected from the network elements and is sent to TraceViewer, where
it can be viewed in the form of reports.
TraceViewer can be also used to support network planning and optimization. After
changing the network parameters, users can easily verify that all sites are working as
planned, by using TraceViewer’s graphical and textual presentations. This tool is also
used for real-time troubleshooting to follow the functionality of the network and
possible problems with a call.
Operators can use tracing to troubleshoot problems with mobile equipment or
subscriber’s connections and to follow up customer complaints. Tracing can be also
used to monitor the network and to check the results of the network optimization.

Administration of Measurements
Administration of Measurements (AoM) application enables the PM Administrator
user to manage (enable/disable) measurements on network elements to allow data
collection from network elements to NetAct.
This application can be used to view, create, modify and delete measurement plans
and templates. Measurement plans can be used to start and stop the measurements
on the network elements. AoM also helps to upload measurement plans from the
network elements to NetAct.
This tool contains four tabs:
• Network Overview: It enables you to view the activation status of measurements
in the network.
• Plans: It enables you to create, modify, delete, activate and deactivate plans.
• Templates: It enables you to create, modify and delete a template. It also allows
you to create a plan based on an existing template.
• Upload Overview: It enables you to view a summary of all the upload operations
carried out during a specific time period for specific NE Types.
Thresholder and Profiler

Thresholder and Profiler are NetAct applications that are integrated with NetAct
Performance Manager: they allow setting and managing thresholds or profiles,
respectively, for the counters or KPIs calculated in Performance Manager.
Profiler capitalizes on the observation that the measured values of a KPI often follow
a pattern. Profiler tracks this pattern and provides a reliable approximation of the
typical value of the KPI based on a week's data.
Nevertheless, you can define a threshold and a profile for the same KPI
independently from each other: if you enable thresholding and profiling but the
threshold is not a profiled threshold, Profiler still maintains the profile for the KPI. This
way you can monitor the KPI actively (with the threshold and by receiving violation
notifications) and at the same time you can also gather longer-term information on
the KPI (with the profile).

Software Asset Monitoring

Software Asset Monitoring application collects and processes the configuration and
measurement data based on customer specific settings. It generates a report on the
feature usage and forwards the formatted monitoring data to the customer and
NOKIA Customer Team via an encrypted e-mail. The encrypted e-mail can be read
and validated by Customer and NOKIA Customer Team only. The report on the
feature usage is used to generate an invoice. One software monitoring report
comprises information related to one NetAct cluster.
Note:
For LTE and Flexi Direct, software monitoring is the only way of usage control as
License Keys are not implemented for these technologies.
Software Asset Monitoring enables speed and efficiency with fast software
activations through bypassing the pre-activation procurement process, and applying
alternative pricing models where invoicing is based on network configuration or on
used functionality. This results in OPEX savings and in an increased flexibility.

Browsing measurements
To search for and browse measurements information:
1. In the main window, click Measurements.

2. Click the drop-down list of Adaptation to choose a specific adaptation.
The corresponding data are displayed in the result panel.
If you do not want to designate a specific adaptation, you can choose all, and use
Look for below directly.
3. Click the drop-down list of Release to choose a version. The corresponding data
are displayed in the result pane below. Again, if you do not want to designate a
specific version, you can choose all.
Note:

specific version in Release.
4. Enter the keywords in the search box of Look for, and click Search.
TIP
Keywords can be any part of the attributes of the data. To narrow down the search scope,
enter two or more keywords separated by white-spaces.
The search rules are listed below:

The search supports fuzzy match.
If there is no precisely matched result according to the keyword, items with
similar keywords are displayed. If there is even no similar result, no record is
displayed.
The order of the search results is determined by the priority of the attributes.
For example, you enter two keywords for attributes, one for ID and the other for
Description. As the priority of ID is higher than that of Description, the searched
items for ID are listed above the items for Description.
5. To show more detailed information about the measurements, follow the steps
below:
Click Column settings at right-top of the result panel to choose the information
needed in the drop-down list, and then click Apply

services have their own Help files with more detailed information.
Security in NOLS
NOLS functionalities use 128 bit encrypted HTTPS SSL connection to ensure secure
communication between NOLS servers and client browsers. File integrity is checked
with a 32 bit checksum in the zipped files in order to ensure that no files are
corrupted.
The password protection is used to prevent unauthorized access to NOLS. The
usernames and passwords are created according to a standardized process at NOLS
Support Desk (NOLS Support). The approval of Nokia Contact Person/ the NOLS
Main User is needed for granting any person a username and password to the
company’s NOLS account. Only the nominated Team Service Facilitators may grant
access to the Team Service categories and documentation. In addition, every NOLS
user is responsible for not giving his/her personal username and password to any
third person. When login into NOLS for the first time, all users accept the disclaimer
of NOLS terms and conditions, and are expected to follow those.

Log In details
To prevent unauthorized access to NOLS, users are required to have individual
usernames and passwords. Communication between the client browser and NOLS is
encrypted to prevent disclosure of privileged information. Usernames and passwords
are created according to a standardized process at the NOLS Support Desk by the
NOLS Administrator. Approval of a Nokia Contact Person is needed for granting any
person a username and password to the NOLS account of a company.
Every user has an individual NOLS User ID, which consists of a username and a
password. The system automatically sends the NOLS username and password in
two separate e-mails. Passwords are also case-sensitive, which further improves the
IT Security. When the user logs into NOLS for the first time, the system forces the
user to change the password. The password is forced to be a minimum of 8
alphanumeric characters.
Each password must have a minimum of 8 characters and follow 3 of the following 4
criteria:
Includes capital letters (A - Z)
Includes small letters (a - z)
Includes arabic numerals (0 - 9)
Uses the following allowed special characters: ! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ]
_{}~
Password must be changed at least every 180 days and chosen password must not
be the same as any of your 5 previous passwords.
