3 Introduction

You should read this Distribution Note before proceeding to install the Gateway Configuration.

For information on the Gateway Framework, its configuration and use refer to the [Gateway

Framework User Guide].

The Gateway Framework and Vendor Gateway are supplied as separate packages. As part of the

Vendor Gateway installation process, it must reference a Gateway Framework installation. This

separation simplifies the maintenance and version control of multiple vendor Gateway installations

on a single server.

This Distribution Note provides an overview of the release history of the Gateway Configuration.

3.1 Vendor Gateway Version

The Gateway Framework requirement is release 3.5.1.8

This Gateway Configuration requires the following Vendor Gateway:

- Alcatel BSS 3.5.1.4

- Generic CSV 3.5.0.2

GPRS: The file format is the standardized file format that can

be directly manipulated by the loader. Counters are

grouped in some manner and tagged with the network

element to which they refer such as cell, PVC, etc.

Measurement Items (counters) are typically grouped

according to functionality. The term “measured object

class” is used to identify such a group. The file format is

based on the fact that the measurements are always

collected in sets of one functional group.

A PM file contains the sequence of measurements,

values and related information, in a block-oriented

structure.

It includes a list of measurement types and the

corresponding values, together with the date and time

stamp related to the reporting period, the MFS identifier,

the interface identifier.

The following figure gives the general file format. The

fixed part is exactly the same whatever is the PM

interface version.

The variable part is the list of possible blocks. The

presence of a block is not mandatory. It depends on the

configuration. The order of the blocks given in the

following figure is not necessarily the one in which they

are reported by the MFS. This sequence is given as an

example:

5.2 Hierarchy input files

Alcatel provides one configuration file per OMC. This file contains all the configuration/topology of

the elements (e.g. BSC, CELL, TRX, LAPD) managed by this OMC.

These data are:

• the BSS configuration data, which describe all the objects available in the network,

• the BSS PM counters, which are the results of the monitoring of the network activity, this

interface is provided in two versions binary format from the BSC and ASCII post processing by

the OMC-R

• the MFS PM counters, which monitor GPRS network element activity,

• the IMSI trace and observations.

The BSS configuration files are stored in /alcatel/var/share/AFTR/ACME on OMC machine Files are

read using ftp.

Scope Attended Format/Syntax

Input files names to expect The name of the file is: “BSSConf”, the name of the

OMC-R, the date and time

(YYYYMMDDHHMMSS) of generation, each part

being separated by a dot (“.”) character.

Example : BSSConf.bourg.19970818091200

Input file formats to expect The file is made up of two parts:

1. A header containing the version and the OMC-R

name identifier.

In this part, the <carriage return> is used to end each

line.

VERSION

<version_value> :Value of the version, 3 digits (600 for

OMC_NAME

DELTA_TIME

<delta_time_value> :Value of the timezone

(omc_local_time - GMT_time) in

minus sign.

2. A body containing the following sections:

• BSC

• N7SL (Signalling Link object)

• N7LS (Link Set object)

• N7 (Signalling Link Code)

Notes: Alcatel Hierarchy data file names contain a timestamp which will produce a unique PIF

filenames for every new interval hierarchy data,

Eg: CELL-#-OMC1-#-BSSConf.omcalc.20081110143500-hierarchy-#-I-#-S.pif

CELL-#-OMC1-#-BSSConf.omcalc.20081208110000-hierarchy-#-I-#-S.pif

User may need to housekeep the hierarchy data to keep only the latest hierarchy PIF in INTER

directory depend on the needs of user.

There are 4 other configuration files also produced by the OMC which are used to extract data for the

LIFs:

• MtpSignPoint.csv which contains BSC_NUM, BSC_NAME and MTP_SPC_Decimal

parameters,

• AlcatelSignLinkSetTp.csv which contains BSC_NUM/BSC_NAME to MSC relationship data,

• AlcatelBts_Sector.csv which is used to determine the Cell description and Cell type of a Cell,

• AlcatelBasebandTransceiver.csv which is used to determine the number of TRX under a Cell.

Each BSC has a set of the above 4 configuration files. The files can be found in the following

location /ACIE/ACIE_BLexport/ACIE_BSSxxexport_Dir1 on the OMC where xx is the internal BSC

number. Eg: if BSC-A has an internal BSC number of 15, then the location of the configuration files

should be /ACIE/ACIE_BLexport/ACIE_BSS15export_Dir1

There is a 5th

configuration file which must be produced by the customer:

• NSS_Nodes.csv which contains Node_ID, Node_Name and Node_Type information for BSC

data. In this case, the node is the MSC.

6 Configurations

6.1 Transfer Engine configuration

No transfer engine configuration required

6.2 Pre Parser Engine configuration

In Alcatel B10 and B11, there are 5 configuration files in CSV format that need to be parsed to

produce LIFs. These csv are AlcatelBasebandTransceiver.csv, AlcatelBts_Sector.csv,

AlcatelSignLinkSetTp.csv, MTPSignPoint.csv and NSS_Nodes.csv.

3 CSV files (MtpSignPoint.csv,AlcatelSignLinkSetTp.csv,NSS_Nodes.csv) has extra header line that

need to use PreparserEngine to manipulate and retrieve information from Line 1 and added to Line 2

(header block) and Line 3 (data block) of CSV. Line 1 will be skipped.

Eg : AlcatelSignLinkSetTp.csv before PreParser Line1:B10_INFO ACIE 8;2008-12-07;22:30:45;A1353RA_843eaa36;;KL_6;

Line3:E;2;cleared;{};1527;unlocked;;{};undefined;0;0;enabled;off;active;

6.3 Parser Engine configuration

The Parser Engine is configured to support the following:

� Support two different data types: GSM (Binary) and GPRS (LIF)

� REGION_ID and NETWORK_ID extraction from the directory structure for NA support

• In Alcatel B10 and B11, DIRECTORY_HEADER_FILES is used to get the OMC Name to

be included in the PIF filename

Eg: TYPE_9-#-4-#-OMC1-#-01Aug2007-#-16:00-#-01Aug2007-#-17:00-#-I.pif

Where OMC NAME is OMC1

Sample structure of INPUT_DIR - ../spool/input/NETWORK_ID/REGION_ID/OMC1

Note: When parsing B9 raw data with B9 Gateway Configuration, INPUT_DIR folder structure

remain the same, eg: ../spool/input/NETWORK_ID/REGION_ID

6.5 Known Issues

CR Number: valnt00106637

Issue: Alcatel BSS 3.5.1.4 VG: Compressed raw data was not removed after being parsed thru the GW

Issue Description: This Gateway Configuration requires Vendor Gateway 3.5.1.4 as a minimum requirement. This

Vendor Gateway contains a limitation whereby the compressed raw data file was not removed after

being parsed thru the gateway.

Customer Impact: The raw data will be parsed twice resulting in redundant processing.

Workaround: To overcome the issue above, customer need to decompress the raw data file prior transfer it to the

input directory.
