Exercise 1 PMIC (PM Initiation and Collection)

The Performance Management Initiation and Collection (PMIC) application

provides the functionality to manage PM recordings on the NEs.

The purpose of this exercise is to introduce the PMIC GUI and to explain how to
initiate, schedule and monitor recordings on statistical counters of MSS nodes.

1.1 Exercise 1-1: PM Subscription for MRS

This exercise will instruct you in how to:

 initiate a PM scanner using the PMIC application in ENM.

Follow the step described in the figures below to accomplish this task.

Launch the PMIC GUI.

Application Launcher  Performance and Optimization  Performance

Management Initiation and Collection (PMIC)

All user-defined Subscriptions as well as the predefined Subscriptions are listed

on the Subscriptions listing table in the PMIC GUI.

In the Action Bar click on the Create Subscription button.

NOTE: The Create Subscription button is visible only if you have NOT
selected any subscription in the main table.

From the Drop down, menu select Standard.

In the next GUI page, open the Resources tab to select the node(s) that the
subscription should collect from.

Select your subscription NOT to be a “Criteria Based Subscription” (OFF).

Then click on the “Add Topology Data” to select the NE(s) to be included in the
subscription.

Before you proceed with adding NEs observe the options available.

Question: What are the available options for importing nodes?

ATTENTION: Ask your instructor which Collection or node to use.

Open the Counters tab to select the counters to be collected by this subscription.

On the left panel select the some counters to be collected.

HINT: use the search box and as you start typing see below the matching hits.

Use the Ctrl button for selecting multiple counters and use the Right Arrow
button to move the selected counters to the right panel.

Open the Scheduler tab to define the scheduling for this subscription.

Select your subscription to start immediately (from “Time Of Activation”

option) and to execute infinitely (“No End Date” option).

Click on the Save button to save your subscription.

Now your subscription should appear in the Subscriptions table.

Note that the state of the subscription is Inactive.

Right-click on it to activate it.

1.2 Exercise 1-2 : PM Subscription for BSC

From the Drop down, menu select Standard.

In the next GUI page, open the Resources tab to select the node(s) that the
subscription should collect from.

Select your subscription NOT to be a “Criteria Based Subscription” (OFF).

Then click on the “Add Topology Data” to select the NE(s) to be included in the
subscription.

IMPORTANT: Note that when the PMIC application detects that you have
selected any node of type MSC-S it disables the option to select counters!

Switch to the Scheduler tab to define a schedule.

Lastly, Save and Activate your subscription.

Exercise 2 ENIQ
This exercise will instruct you how to:

 Access ENIQ

These exercises should be performed using the Chapter 2 – ENIQ information

and the corresponding figures shown in the text.

The ENIQ CPI/Alex can be used for assistance.

Your instructor will show you how to connect to ENIQ. You will be given a
username and password:

Exercise 3-3: STS Object Types, Reports and Measurement Programs

– Initiating mode
For Initianting mode, first the destination set has to be created in CDH (Common
Destination Handling). Use appropriated MO and defines the destination with the
transfer type FTPV2. This example creates a communication transfer channel consisting
of an initiating destination.

In order to transfer data to this destination (import/export area) A destination set needs
to be defined. The destination set is a group of destinations to provide a secure and
redundant data transfer. Even if we only will use one destination in our destination set, it
still needs to be defined. In this example, this transfer queue will be used in the next
exercise, so, it is going to be possible to see file transferred to the remote server.

The instructor will provide the students with an remote FTP-server that can be used for
this exercise:

IP address: …………………………………………………………

User name: …………………………………………………………

Password: ……………………………………………………….…

1. Create Destinations

Reach MO:
>configure
ManagedElement=<Node Name>, SystemFunctions=1, AxeFunctions=1,
DataOutputHandling=1, DataTransferM=1, FileTransferManager=1
(config-FileTransferManager=1)>InitiatingDestinationSet=IDESTSETX

(config-InitiatingDestinationSet= IDESTSETX)>
PrimaryInitiatingDestination=IPRIDESTSETX
ipAddress =ipaddress_of_remote_destination
transferProtocol=SFTPV2
username=loginname_of_remote_destination
password=password_of_remote_destination cleartext
portNumber=22

(config-
InitiatingDestinationSet=IDESTSETX)>AdvancedInitiatingParameters=ADVINITDESTX

(config-AdvancedInitiatingParameters=ADVINITDESTX)>validate
(config-AdvancedInitiatingParameters=ADVINITDESTX)>commit -s
(config-AdvancedInitiatingParameters=ADVINITDESTX)>up
(config-InitiatingDestinationSet=IDESTSETX>PrimaryInitiatingDestination= IPRIDESTSETX
(config-PrimaryInitiatingDestination=IPRIDESTSETX)>

2. Check that the status of the destination defined is True with the command

(config-PrimaryInitiatingDestination=IPRIDESTSETX)>connectionVerify
Result:true

3. Now when the destination (set) has been defined the transfer queue itself shall be
defined. Define a Transfer Queue that is linked to the destination set previously defined.

(config-PrimaryInitiatingDestination=IPRIDESTSETX)>up
(config-InitiatingDestinationSet= IDESTSETX)>up
(config-FileTransferManager=1)>FileTransferQueue=INITRANSQX

(config-FileTransferQueue=INITRANSQX)>AdvancedFileTransferQueueInfo=ADVINITDESTX)>commit
Verify the results:
cdhls -l
cdhdsls -l
afpls -l

Define OT, Report, and MP

1. Check the status of the LOAS object type. If the status is NO, change to YES using
management information model.

stmotls –l LOAS

>configure
>ManagedElement=<node name>, SystemFunctions=1, AxeFunctions=1,
DataOutputHandling=1,StatisticalCounterM=1,ObjectTypes=1
>ObjectType=LOAS
>isIncluded=true
>commit

2. Define the report. Use the following command:

>configure
ManagedElement=1,SystemFunctions=1,AxeFunctions=1,DataOutputHandling=1,
StatisticalCounterM=1,Reports=1
>Report=202X
>name=REPORT1X
>objectTypeList=LOAS
>commit

3. Define Measurement Programs:

For this task, check the time in APG, use command “date”.

configure
ManagedElement=1,SystemFunctions=1,AxeFunctions=1,DataOutputHandling=1,
StatisticalCounterM=1,MeasurementPrograms=1

MeasurementProgram=102X

stmmp -L -l

4. Check the status of the transfer queue using the command afpls. Use long listing and list
all files and directories.

afpls –ls

5. Verify the result in the import/export area in APG43L. Verify that the files are output and stored
in the correct destination directory within the import/export area on the APG43L.

SC-2-1:# cd /data/opt/ap/internal_root/data_tranfer/source/sts/INITRANSQX

Expected result:
