2G / AXE Performance Management in ENM
— Support for mediation (PULL / Collection) of the following files from ENM:
— PM Statistics: ASN.1 STS files available in both Encoded 3GPP ASN.1 and Raw ASN.1 formats
— Traces: CTR, MTR
— RNO Recordings: RIR, BAR, MRR, CER
— Event Files: See Slide 14

— Support for PUSH mediation of the following files from Nodes to ENM:
— PM Statistics: STS (Raw ASN.1) from BSCs / MSCs / STPs / HLRs to ENM

— Support for decoding of all file-types (except ASN.1 STS) to human-readable text-based formats

— Performance Management initiation for PM statistics and RNO Recordings is manually performed (via WinFIOL)
for all file-types, except MTR, RTT & R-PMO (which will be supported in PMIC in ENM)

— Inventory is exportable from ENM SHM GUI to CSV files.

— Inventory Data for AXE (BSC, MSC, HLR-FE & STP) nodes is exportable in 3GPP XML format for external NBI systems

— Periodic Inventory exports can be generated by scheduling an ENM python script in the scripting VMs (via crontab). This script will
contain a custom CM export command, based on a scope of required nodes, required file/data formats and filters

BSC MOM Introduction
— The Managed Object Model (MOM) shows the information in a Parent-Children relationship
— MOM is also used in other Ericsson’s Technology nodes (RNC, NodeB, eNodeB, ...)
— Thanks to the MOM and ECIM, the Model Driven Applications in ENM can manage the BSC
— This aids for the configuration of BSC on APG43L using BscFunction MOM.
— All the different configuration items in the BSC has been modelled into the MOM

2G Bulk Cell Management: CM2G Script
The CM2G is a solution for 2G Cell Management in bulk. It consists
of 2 console-based Python scripts: cm2g_bulk and cm2g_msc.

Its goal is to fill the current gap of ENM GUIs to provide similar
functionality to the OSS-RC CNA most basic operations, namely:
— Create 2G cells
— Delete 2G cells
— Create 2G-2G Cell Relations
— Delete 2G-2G Cell Relations
— Modify CGI of 2G Cells (e.g. for LAC change)
— Modify arbitrary parameters of 2G Cells (e.g. bcc, ncc, qsi,
bcchNo, ...)
 2G Move Cell Overview – Cell reparenting
move-cell is a script available via a Scripting Server - Linux OS shell.

The move-cell script is used to:

— Move GSM cells and their relations between BSCs (source and
target)
— Modify CGI values, cell names, or both.
— The script uses the Cell Management NBI to read cell data. It uses the
data to create NBI requests.
— These requests can delete the cell and recreate it on the Target BSC
along with its relations and attributes.
— The cells are moved by first running the prepare phase, then the
move phase.
— It has a rollback phase that can be used to recreate the cell
configuration of the From-node if necessary.
2G Move Cell: Use Cases

— Move Single Cell

— Move Multiple Cells
— Move a Single Cell to a Node That is under a Different SubNetwork
— Move Multiple Cells to a Node That is Under a Different SubNetwork
— Move Single Cell, Change CGI Value, and Change Cell Name
— Move Multiple Cells, Change CGI Values, and Change Cell Names
— Restore Original Cell Configuration (Including Relations) on the Node

2G/AXE Security
2G/AXE Security: OSS-RC vs ENM
— OSS-RC includes an application called TSS that handles
user authorization and TBAC (target-based access control)
for AXE-based nodes – in other words, controlling which
MML commands a user can send to each node (target).
— It is possible to support different sets of commands for
different nodes for the same user.
— In addition to ENM Application usage Roles, support is
offered for both Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and
Target-Based Access Control (TBAC)
— Users can be allocated roles (which control the types of
actions they can perform) against various targets.
— It is not possible (through ENM) to allow users to issue
different commands towards different nodes/targets
— However, through a security model on the APG43, it is
possible to allocate COM roles to users.
— COM roles are mapped to pre-defined groups of MML
commands (COCA groups), granting certain capabilities to
users.
— These same roles are mirrored in ENM and used by the
APG node to authenticate users
— Through this mechanism, more fine-grained command
access/capability can be allocated to BSC users
