About this document
About this document
Purpose
This preface provides an overview of this information product (IP), which is the 1350
OMS Service Assurance Guide.
The purpose of the 1350 OMS Service Assurance Guide is to explain to users the Fault
Management and Performance Monitoring features.
What's new
This document has been reissued on September 2012 to advice a particular configuration
for PM collecting on 1830PSS Network Elements on the1350 OMS 9.6.
This document has been reissued on January 2014 to describe how to generate scheduled
CSV Report file on the1350 OMS 9.6.
Safety information
This document does not contain any safety information (cautions or warnings) because
the 1350 OMS is a software product.
Important! When working with any hardware that is associated with any piece of
software, always refer to the safety information that the hardware manufacturer provides
for that particular piece of hardware. For example, when working with an HP® server,
refer to safety information that is provided in the HP® documentation for that server.
When working with any Alcatel-Lucent network element, refer to safety information that
is provided in the Alcatel-Lucent documentation for that particular NE.
Intended audience
The 1350 OMS Service Assurance Guide is written primarily for operations personnel
who use the 1350 OMS for network administration and provisioning. This document can
be used by anyone who needs specific administration or provisioning information about
the features, applications, and operations of the Element Management Level (EML) of the
1350 OMS. These people are you, its users.

About this document
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Conceptual and task content
In the broadest sense, this document contains the following types of content:
• Conceptual content, which is background information, is given so users can better
understand the tasks that must be performed. The presentation of conceptual
information varies according to the topic being explained—sections, subsections,
tables, figures, and screen captures can be commonly found.
• Task content, which includes step-by-step instructions, is provided so users can
administer, provision, and maintain the system. The task information is typically
presented as series of tasks that follows the conceptual information.
The conceptual information complements and enhances the step-by-step instructions that
are found in each task. To optimize the use of the conceptual and task content, users
should consider the following:
• The conceptual information should be used to broaden your general knowledge of the
network management system. It is best if you read all conceptual information and
have a good understanding of the concepts being presented before undertaking the
step-by-step instructions given in any task.
• The conceptual and task portions of the document have extensive hyperlinks. Use
these links to toggle between the two types of information presented so you can
access all pertinent information related to particular concepts and tasks.
• The task information is based on a user needs analysis that has been performed for
each management system user job; therefore, use the task information to get the job at
hand done quickly and with minimal system impact.
Format of task content

Each task consists of sections that are called When to use, Related information, Before
you begin, and Task. The intent of these sections is self-explanatory—they explain when
you should use the task, any related information that you would need to know while doing
the task, and what you need to consider or do before you start the task.
When a task does not have any related information that must be considered before it is
started, the Related information section for that task states the following:
This task does not have any related information.
When a task does not have any conditions that must be considered before it is started, the
Before you begin section for that task states the following:
This task does not have any preconditions.
Each Task section consists of steps. The completion of all steps, which are sequentially
numbered, is required for the entire task to be completed successfully. In some instances,
a step might be prefaced with the wording Optional, which indicates that the step can be
skipped and the task can still be completed successfully. A task is considered to be
completed when all of its steps are completed and when the wording End of Steps
appears.

Many times, the management system affords users with multiple ways to accomplish the
same task. In these instances, this type of task gives the user several Methods of how to
accomplish the same set of steps successfully.
Typographical conventions used for content

This document uses the following typographical conventions:
• User input or path navigation on the administration and application GUIs is
identified with this type.
• User input in the UNIX® environment is identified with this
type.
• System output in the UNIX® environment is identified with
this type..
• GUI fields/parameters and their options are identified with this type.
• Document titles or words that are being defined or emphasized are identified with this
type.
Marking conventions used for content

The following convention is used to indicate a path, which is a flow of buttons and/or
menu items that you must navigated through to arrive at a destination on the GUI:
Actions > EML > Create NE
This same convention is also used to show a path through a series of menu items, for
example:
Click the filtering tool and select Layer > EML.
All mouse selections are presumed to be left clicks. Right click mouse selections are
indicated as the following:
Right click the highlighted item and follow the path: Search > Show Equipment.
Or, if brevity is needed, the same path could be documented as:
RClick item > Search > Show Equipment.
Occasionally, a set of 1350 OMS features is not supported for all NEs or for all operating
components and/or environments. This set of features is clearly marked to show these
exceptions.
Technical content
In general, the technical content in this document is augmented by technical content that
is provided in other documents in this documentation set and/or in the document set of the
particular network element (NE ) or piece of hardware in the network configuration. It is
the user's responsibility to read all pertinent material in all documentation sets in order to
understand a particular concept or procedure and/or to implement the procedure in his or
her working environment.

FM Component Overview
Fault Management Description
The 1350 OMS alarm management functionality is provided by the Fault Management
(FM) application. This management functionality provides an efficient mechanism to
control, supervise, and manage equipment anomalies that may occur in a
telecommunications network. It covers provisioning of information concerning Fault
Management, and Alarm Management such as displaying alarm lists and acknowledging
alarms.

8DG42227FAAA 9.6
Issue 3 June 2014
Fault Management Concepts FM Component Overview
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Fault Management Functionalities
The FM component is dedicated to receive, store, display and manage alarms (current
alarms) raised by different sources in real time, facilitating the overall Fault Management
of the network, and improving the reaction time of the network users in case of anomalies
in the network. It also provides the possibility to archive and retrieve the alarms, referred
to as historical alarms, allowing post-analysis of anomalies in the network.
Current and historical alarms can be displayed in lists. By mouse clicking, the user can
get detailed information, or can perform actions on the alarm when the alarm is raised.
For current alarms a synthesis of alarm information can be displayed in submaps. This
alarm information is displayed for each NE present within the submap.
Fault Management Features

A comprehensive set of Fault Management features allows users to monitor and track
alarms and transient condition events in the network. The FM component receives and
processes the alarms on the network in real time, which enables a network user to locate
and repair faults in the network. The FM GUI displays alarms and network events as
correlated by the various 1350 OMS components.
FM functionality supports navigation from network correlated alarms in the FM system
into the raising network level component and assesses the elementary or server layer
network layer alarms that have been correlated. FM functionality also supports the alarm
acknowledgement process.
When a network layer alarm is cleared to a historical alarm, the alarm information is
stored with the last correlated elementary or server layer alarm whose clearing caused the
correlated alarm to be cleared.
The following features can be used to monitor and track alarms and events that occur in
the network:
• Alarm synchronization
• Alarm and event logging
• Notification of alarms and events
• Alarm List
Additional features include the following:
• Single alarm management for all components
• Consolidated list of all alarms from underlying components, which includes
elementary and correlated alarms for all managed NEs
• Real-time summary of all current alarms
• List of historical alarms
• Filtered and sorted lists, including complex filters and sorting criteria
• Default alarm sublists available based on severity and component

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
• User-defined alarm sublist criteria
• Centralized alarm acknowledgement enabling an alarm to be acknowledged once
from the central alarm list
An Iterative Approach for Alarm Description

Fault Management offers a window divided in three panels for viewing the alarms:
• The Counter Summary panel : Main window used to display statistics on alarms. It
shows alarm counters, according to severity levels or statuses of the alarms.
• The Alarm Sublist panel : Basic working window. It keeps real-time counter totals for
each alarm type of severity level.
• The Sublist Display panel : Basic working panel. It regroups alarms according to
filtering criteria defined by the user, and allows the user to work on a limited subset of
alarms.
Alarm Information
Alarms are messages emitted by network resources that have detected problems or
failures in the network. Information contained in the alarm belongs to two classes:
• Resource identification
• Type identification
Resource Identification
Resource identification identifies the resource which has raised the alarm. The resource
type and the resource name are reported as identifiers. The resource name is unique in
order to avoid identification ambiguities.
Type Identification
Type identification identifies the alarm problem type. The type of problem contains three
basic elements of information :
• Problem type - Refer to “Problem Types” (p. 2-10) for additional information.
• Probable cause - Refer to “Probable Causes” (p. 2-10) for additional information.
• Severity level - Refer to “Severity Levels” (p. 2-9) for additional information.
Architecture of Fault Management GUIs

Architecture of Fault Management
Fault Management is made up of two main GUI applications:
• The Current GUI is dedicated to the real-time treatment of current alarms, that is,
alarms which have just been raised by a resource.
• The Historical GUI is dedicated to the management of the archived alarms.
The following diagram presents the architecture of Fault Management GUIs:

Workflow Navigation
Workflow Navigation
The following provides a typical navigation flow of the Fault Management Current and
Historical GUIs:
• Initiation begins from a web browser.
• Incoming navigation to the FM GUI goes to either the Current GUI primary window
or to the Historical GUI primary window, depending on the type of transaction.
• Navigation occurs internally within the Current GUI.
• Navigation occurs internally within the Historical GUI.
• Navigation occurs between the Current GUI and the Historical GUI as appropriate.
• Output from both the Current GUI and the Historical GUI uses one of the following
methods, each of which have further sublevels from which to choose options:
– Print
– Export

Navigation from Alarm Lists for Correlated Alarms
Navigation from Alarm Lists
The following navigation capabilities are supported from FM Alarm Lists to 1350 OMS
Alarm Lists:
• From an Elementary Alarm in FM to the Equipment view of the failed resource in the
EML
• From a Correlated Connection Alarm in FM to the connection in the NM component
Within 1350 OMS, navigation capabilities are supported from an alarmed connection to
one of the following:
• The list of correlated alarms, and for each of the list of elementary alarms and alarmed
objects
• The list of the impacted services carried by the connection
• The list of alarmed connections on the server layers
• The list of alarmed Termination Points (TPs) on the server layers
FM Architectural Overview
FM Architectural Overview
CFM (Correlation Fault Management) is an alarm correlation component that impacts
transport objects by new Correlated Alarms starting from an Elementary Alarm received
from the network.
The CFM component does not have an internal database for elementary alarms and
correlated alarms. Rather, these alarms are stored only in the NM applications.
Supported External Products

CFM supports the following external product:
• AS - ALMAP Fault Manager
External Interfaces and Data

External Interfaces on the North side follow:
• Interface toward AS
• NBI Open Interfaces
• LCSI Interface toward Client NM applications
Internal Interfaces and Data

Internal Interfaces follow:
• A trigger interface with the related NM application to notify a user when a new
correlation is required. Information flow is from the NM application to CFM.
• An API mechanism that is in charge for operational state and alarm status upgrades.

Fault Management Concepts FM Architectural Overview
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
• A shared database view of interworking tables to permit the NM applications and
CFM to exchange alarm data. The NM applications control data synchronization
processes.
• APIs that implement a common inventory toward NM applications to obtain specific
information for correlation rules that are applicable.
Database Table Views Available

The set of database tables that are used by CFM and NM applications to exchange alarm
data include the following:
• EA (Elementary Alarm) Table - contains elementary alarms that the NM application
has received.
• Operation Table - contains the operation performed on the NM application that
requires an alarm correlation activity, such as:
– A Path is newly-commissioned.
– A TP inside the Path route has had a rule changed.
• CA (Correlated Alarm) Table - contains the correlated alarms that CFM produces.
• CA-EA Relational Table - relates the EA to the CA.
Correlation Rules
Correlation rules are the set of technologically-specific behaviors that provide
information to CFM as to what needs to be done for any occurring EA coming in from the
network. A correlation rule is the relationship among a TP type, TP correlation class, EA
NM probable cause, impacted transport object type, and CA probable cause. CFM uses
the appropriate rule to determine how an EA affects one or more transport objects.
The following is an example of an expected scenario for correlation rules:
• The NM application receives the alarm containing the NE alarmed object and the
native probable cause.
• The NM application maps the received NE object into the internal NM object model.
• The NM application stores the NM object model and the native probable cause into
the EA.
• CFM maps the native probable cause into an NM probable cause, and then applies the
appropriate correlation rule. CFM obtains the CA probable cause from the NM object
model plus the NM probable cause and impacted transport object.

Fault Management Concepts Alarm Management

Alarm Management
Description
The Fault Management application provides alarm management capabilities in the
following functional areas:
• Global Alarm Management
• Current Alarm Management
• Elementary Alarm Management
• Historical Alarm Management
Each alarm notification received can cause both correlated and elementary alarm
notifications to be forwarded.
Note: Elementary alarm notifications are related to the alarm. Correlated alarm
notifications are related to the correlated connection.
Global Alarm Management

Global alarm management enables the user to supervise global network activity in order
to identify anomalies and solve them.
Current Alarm Management

Current alarm management enables the user to supervise network activity in order to
identify anomalies and solve them. The following sections describe actions taken on
current alarms.
When the alarm is displayed on the screen, the basic information is immediately available
to the user who can decide on the appropriate action to take.
See “Current Fault GUI” (p. 2-13) for more information.
Raise Alarm
When an alarm is raised by a faulty resource, it is received by Fault Management, which
stores it. The user can display the alarm as soon as it is signalled.
Display Alarm
When the alarm is displayed on the screen, the basic information is immediately available
to the user who can decide on the following actions:
• Get detailed information contained in the alarm.
• Reserve the alarm for further investigation. This action of reservation on the alarm
prevents other users from performing any action on the alarm.
• Request the creation of a Trouble Ticket (TT) to be handled by the external product
ARS (Action Remedy System). FM is interfaced to a Trouble Ticket management
third party product: ARS can request the creation of trouble tickets either on user
request (if the alarm is not reserved by another user), or automatically according to
filtering criteria. Once created, trouble ticket information is automatically updated
according to alarm processing.

1350 OMS 2-7
8DG42227FAAA 9.6
Issue 3 June 2014
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
• Acknowledge the alarm, indicating that the cause of the alarm has been taken into
account, and that repair actions have been taken.
• Allow another user take the alarm into account.
During this whole period an alarm is considered to be current (alive), and its state is
automatically refreshed in real-time so that any user who displays this alarm knows the
actual state of the alarm.
Clear Alarm
The alarm is cleared by the emitting resource as soon as the problem is no longer present
at the resource level. As soon as the alarm is acknowledged by the user, it is no longer
considered a current alarm. The alarm is removed from the current alarm list and is
archived into the historical alarm list.
The problem to which the alarm is linked may not be solved immediately. In this case, the
alarm is repeated until the problem is solved. FM provides a repetition counter to each
received alarm. If the alarm is not cleared by the resource which raised it, then FM
enables the user to archive it manually.
Elementary Alarm Management

Certain Elementary Alarms can cause correlated alarms in EML and NM components as
follows:
• Transmission (X.733 Communication) Alarms on terminations and boundary TPs
• URU (Underlying Resource Unavailable) Alarm
Elementary alarms can be manually set to enable alarm reporting on Intermediate Points,
that is, not Edge Points. Alarm reporting on Intermediate Points is disabled as the default.
This default can be modified using a predefined ASAP.
Historical Alarm Management

Once alarms are no longer considered as current, they are archived in the historical alarm
section of the FM application, where they can be reviewed. The historical part of Fault
Management is particularly useful to follow the activity of a network, its robustness, the
recurrence of problems, or to help the user to detect the network's critical points.
Historical Alarm information is structured as an alarm list.
A review of historical alarms is generally performed in four steps:
• Extract alarms - The required alarm list is extracted from the historical alarm
repository or from personal files. The user is requested to specify filtering criteria in
order to extract only the useful part of the alarms. These alarms are stored in a main
alarm list.
• Create sublists - Sublists are created from the main alarm list.

2-8 1350 OMS
8DG42227FAAA 9.6
Issue 3 June 2014
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
• View the alarm sublists - The user can get basic information on the alarms including
the archive date and the reason. Once inserted in the HAL (Historical Alarm List), a
historical alarm cannot be modified. It contains the whole historical alarm information
shared by all FM users while the former current alarm is archived. In order to meet
the specific needs of the user, the Historical alarm information can be replicated
through multiple information sources, each having a specific purpose.
• View detailed alarm information - For a particular alarm.
See “Historical Fault GUI” (p. 2-24) for more information.
Status
Each connection has an Alarm Status defined. The Alarm Status represents the highest
severity of the active correlated alarms. The Alarm Status is displayed in all lists and on
graphical views, including network maps. The Alarm Status and associated Totals for
each type of Alarm Status are also visible on the Alarm List in the Sublist Counter area.
The following is a list of the types of Alarm Status categories:
• Critical
• Major
• Minor
• Warning
• Indeterminate
• Cleared
• Not Acknowledged
Severity Levels
Severity levels of a problem (perceived severity) are assigned when an alarm is raised.
Problems are ranked into five severity level categories:
• Critical - When it is no longer possible to provide the requested service.
• Major
• Minor
• Warning - No impact is reported on the quality of service offered.
• Indeterminate - If the severity level cannot be defined by the resource which raises
the alarm.
The Cleared severity level is used when the alarm is cleared by the resource which has
previously raised it.
The Alarm Severity associated to a correlated alarm is the severity defined for each
probable cause in the ASAP profile.

Issue 3 June 2014
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Problem Types
Classification of a Problem Type is accomplished by means of the Probable Cause Alarm.
Possible problem types are:
• Quality of service
• Communications
• Processing error
• Equipment
• Environmental
Problem Type classifications in general include:
• Failure or degradation of the client signal
• Failure in transporting the signal
Refer to Appendix A, “Probable Cause Mappings” for Probable Cause and Problem Type
mappings.
Probable Causes
Probable Causes can be either standard probable cause values (ITU-T Recommendation
X.733), or locally-defined values.
The Probable Causes are sent with the correlated alarm.
Details included with specific Probable Causes include:
• End-to-end failure
– Failure in incoming signals for not terminated. This is useful for carrier-of-carrier
networking.
– Failure in outgoing signals for not terminated. This alarm can exist even if there is
no end-to-end failure when the transport service is protected in another network.
• Abnormal conditions in transport service
– Protection lost. This alarm can be used to trigger manual rerouting of failed
protection, or to perform accounting since it reduces the class of service.
– Rerouting in the ASON domain or unavailability of preplanned backup.
• Degradation of the transport service
– Signal degradation (BER)
– TCAs on PMs
• Inconsistency between the NMS view of the transport service and the NE view
– Inconsistency due to removal of a cross connection, or a change of configuration
on the NE, as compared to the NMS view
– Temporary misalignment between the NMS view and the NE view due to offline
configuration on one or more NEs in the connection route
Transport Failure means that the path is not working end-to-end. The managed domain
may not be interested in this alarm if the managed domain is not interested in the
end-to-end service. In this case, this alarm can be squelched using an appropriate ASAP.

2-10 1350 OMS
8DG42227FAAA 9.6
Issue 3 June 2014
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Transport Incoming Failure means that a failure is entering the managed domain. This
alarm alone does not indicate if the end-to-end path works or not; it just indicates that a
wrong signal is entering. The managed domain may be able to recover from the failure if
the path is protected.
Transport Outgoing Failure means that the managed domain is providing at least one
flow that is in error to the outside. This alarm does not indicate if the end-to-end path
works or not. The end-to-end path may be protected outside of the managed domain in
such a way that the failure can be recovered.
Note: The operational state of the path itself is set to Disable only when the path is not
working end-to-end.
Refer to Appendix A, “Probable Cause Mappings” for Probable Cause and Problem Type
mappings.
General Alarm Activities

Management of alarms involves many types of general actions that can be performed on a
given alarm, such as:
• “Reserve Alarms” (p. 3-31)
• “Reserve and Assign Alarms” (p. 3-32)
• “Unreserve Alarms” (p. 3-34)
• “Trouble Ticket Alarms” (p. 3-35)
• “Acknowledge Alarms” (p. 3-36)
• “Unacknowledge Alarms” (p. 3-37)
• “Manually Purge an Alarm” (p. 3-38)
• “Manually Clear an Alarm” (p. 3-39)
• “Export Output of an Alarm” (p. 3-41)
• “Print Output of an Alarm” (p. 3-43)
• “Manage Alarm Debouncing” (p. 3-63)
Correlated Alarms on Transports

Correlated alarm events provide an indication that a transport is either in fault or in a
degraded state. 1350 OMS uses a URU (Underlying Resource Unavailable) alarm on all
related ports of the equipment fault. This URU alarm is then used to correlate to all
network layer connections that are affected.
Alarm Indicators
Correlated alarms have indicators within them that identify specific information about the
alarm. Types of alarm indicators and explanations of them follow.
In Service/Not In Service
Correlated alarms carry indications as to whether the transport failure is in, or out, of
service. These indications are used to conditionally perform automatic acknowledgement
of the alarm.
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
1350 OMS 2-11
8DG42227FAAA 9.6
Issue 3 June 2014
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Customer
Correlated alarms can carry indications of customer name if this field information is
supplied in the notification field. This customer name information is generally used in
post-processing functions.
Primary/Secondary Condition
Correlated alarms carry indications of whether the alarm is a primary (root) cause, or
whether the alarm is a secondary (non-root) cause.
Primary alarms require direct attention by the user. A correlated alarm is considered a
primary alarm if it is likely to have been the cause of the original problem in the network.
Examples are LOS or a URU alarm on a port caused by equipment.
Secondary alarms are generally meaningful for accounting purposes and/or for proactive
activities on the network, such as rerouting, or communication to VIP network customers.
A correlated alarm is considered a secondary alarm if it is the consequence of a primary
alarm elsewhere in the network. Such an example is for SSF.
Correlated Elementary Alarms
Correlated elementary alarms are included in a Fault Clear event so that they can be
stored in the historical alarm database.
Time Stamps
Time stamps on correlated alarms on raised alarms represent the time of the first-received
elementary alarm. Time stamps on correlated alarms on cleared alarms represent the time
of the last-cleared correlated alarm.
Alarm Debouncing
SNMP and Q3 NE Management provides an alarm filtering in the time scale of several
seconds to minutes (30 seconds to 4-5 minutes).
Each filter is identified by a Probable Cause and its Hold Period and configured by the
Alarm Debouncing GUI. The Alarm Debouncing GUI produces a filtering configuration
file and EML–IM is alerted as soon as the file is updated, so that the file is re-read.
EML–IM (Q3 and SNMP), by using the filtering configuration file, applies this filtering
mechanism to alarm notifications before sending alarms to Upper Managers.
• When a clear notification is received and it falls in a filter criteria (for example,
Probable Cause of clear notification has filter enabled), the clear notification is frozen
and not forwarded, and a timer is activated for the Hold Period.
• If a raise notification (with the same MOC, MOI, Probable Cause, Specific Problem,
Event Type of clear notification) is received before the Hold Period is exhausted, the
frozen clear notification is discarded, the timer is removed, and the raise notification
is forwarded.
• If no raise notification is received before the Hold Period is exhausted, on timer
expiration the frozen clear notification is forwarded.
The default configuration is no filter activated. The maximum number of active filters is
1000.

Current Fault Counter Summary Area

The Counter Summary area is composed of a scrollable read-only sublist table. Each row
represents a sublist with the following columns:
• First Column is a flag column that indicates change in a sublist since the last
consultation.
• Sublist Name is in bold when the sublist is activated. Inactive sublists have all of their
counters set to “x” and may be hidden from an item of the view menu. The Main
alarm and Default sublists are specifically used by the FM web platform, which
means that they cannot be deleted.
• Total is the total number of alarms for the sublist.
• Critical, Major, … represent the alarm distribution per severity level or status (Cleared
and Nack).
The counter summary table supports multiple selections.
Current Fault Counter Summary Modifications

The user can resize a column and change the order of the columns. The user can
hide/show columns from the contextual menu available on the header of the columns.
By configuration (XML configuration file), it is possible to define the default column
order and to define its resized policy between the following options:
• Fill - The sublist table takes all of the available size within the area.
• Autosize - The sublist table fits the columns size according to the contents.
• Fix size - The column size is fixed in the XML table definition file.
In all cases, if the table size is bigger than the available space, a scroll bar automatically
appears.
Current Fault Counter Summary User Preferences

The following customizable attributes are saved in user preferences:
• List and order of visible columns
• Column size

FM Default Alarm Sublists

The 1350 OMS Default Alarm sublists are shared between all users. Owner of these
sublists is the alcatel predefined user. These shared default sublists will be distributed
to all users only when changed by the user alcatel.
In case 1350 OMS changes the definition of the default shared sublists, at login as
alcatel user, a warning message is displayed:
Detected Obsolete Alarm Sublist configuration for <EML | SDH | WDM | PKT | Global -
Current | Historical | Event Alarm List>. New default Sublist configuration is available.
It is recommended to update the Alarm Sublist Configuration.
To reset the default shared sublists from a graphic interface application on the server use
following command:
Login as alcatel user and execute as root user following command:
# rm -Rf /usr/Systems/Global_Instance/WACOMO/udm/data/
importedcounters/*
Current Fault Sublist Counter Area

The Sublist Counter area is composed of a read-only table. The table displays counters
showing the total alarms for the sublist that is selected in the Main Alarm List.
The table displays a row counter for:
• Each alarm severity level (Critical, Major, Minor, Warning, Indeterminate, Cleared)
• The total of non-acknowledged alarms
• The total of cleared alarms
The table displays the following column:
• Total alarms
The Table does not support selection, and there is no contextual menu available.

Current Fault Sublist Content Area
The sublist content area is a scrollable alarm table displaying attributes on alarms that
meet filter criteria of the selected sublist. Each table row has the severity color of the
alarm that it represents. The sublist content area supports multi-selection. The selected
alarms appear in reverse order.
If the pagination feature is activated by the configuration file (offline), the table is
paginated to display a subset of Alarms. The user has the option to list all of the sublist’s
alarms at once, or to paginate the list. The user can toggle between these two modes by
checking the Paginate Sublist menu item on or off in the View menu.
Paginated lists can be navigated through using the Alarms pagination panel under the
table. If the pagination is not activated, the Alarms pagination panel is hidden.
The Alarms pagination panel is made of:
• Previous and Next Page buttons (arrow to the left/arrow to the right) move to the
next or previous page of alarms. The Currently Displayed Range combination box
changes to reflect the range of the new page of alarms.
• Currently Displayed Range combination box displays the current alarm item range
loaded into the sublist and allows direct navigation to a different range within the total
alarm list.
• The read-only Total field displays the current total alarms in the sublist.
• Alarm count per page field allows the user to set the number of alarms per page. The
user may enter a number, then hit the Enter key in order to validate the number of
alarms per page. The Currently Displayed Range combination box changes to reflect
the new range of the page of alarms.
By default, the table content is refreshed in real-time according to incoming alarms. By
using a Freeze/Unfreeze option available from the View menu or from a button in the
Toolbar, the user can modify the dynamic behavior of the current alarm display in the
sublists. If the user freezes the view, the sublist display remains unchanged until the user
chooses to unfreeze it. When the user exits the application, the freeze mode is not
persisted. Hence, by default, when the current main window is launched, the sublist
content area is in the Unfreeze option mode.
When the auto-select option is activated in the View menu, the incoming alarm appears
automatically selected in the table. This option is not sensitive when the freeze mode is
enabled.
Current Fault Sublist Content Area Fields

The following fields are displayed in the Current Fault Sublist Content Area in the
Current Fault GUI. You can use the scrollable bar to view all of the fields displayed.
These fields can also be viewed by placing the mouse over any item in the displayed
table.
• Perceived Severity
• Event Date and Time
• Friendly Name

Current Fault Sublist Content Modifications

The Current Fault Sublist Content table may be customized as follows.
• A user can resize a column and change the column order by click-hold-and-dragging
them.
• The table can be sorted and filtered from the contextual menu available on the header
of the columns.
• By configuration (XML configuration file), it is possible to define the table's resize
policy as follows:
– Fill - The sublist table takes all of the available size within the area.
– Autosize - The sublist table fits the column size according to the contents.
– Fix size - The column size is fixed in the XML table definition file.
In all previous cases, if the table size is bigger than the available space, a scroll bar
automatically appears. When the user modifies the order of the displayed attributes or the
sort, the definition of the sublist is then automatically updated at the server level (sublist
definition).
Current Fault Sublist User Preferences

The following customizable attributes are saved in user preferences:
• List and order of visible columns (inside sublist definition)
• Sorting criteria (inside sublist definition)
• Pagination state (on/off)

Historical Fault GUI Toolbar

The Historical Fault GUI Toolbar can be shown or hidden using a menu item by the
end-user, or through configuration files by the administrator. When the GUI is modified
through the configuration file (offline), the customization is final. For example, if the
integrator configures the toolbar as hidden in the configuration file, the shown/hidden
functions are no longer available from the Edit menu. Each icon in the toolbar performs
the same behavior as the corresponding menu item.
The following figure depicts the icons on the Historical Fault GUI toolbar

• “Filter List Panel Window” (p. 2-30)
• “Filter Configuration Window” (p. 2-31)
• “Sublist Properties Window” (p. 2-33)
More Alarm Information Window

The More Alarm Information window allows the user to display all of the attributes of a
list of selected alarms. It can be launched from the sublist content area by right-clicking
on an item in the table, or from the appropriate icon in the icon toolbar. A check box
allows the user to set the Alarm Information window to perform dynamic updates of the
selected alarms according to the selection in the main window. The displayed alarm
information may be dynamically updated or not according to the Freeze/Unfreeze option
state in the main view.
Working Area Description
The More Alarm Information window is comprised of the following:
• At the top of the window, the scrollable selected alarm list is displayed. The first
alarm is selected by default when the window is opened. The user can select the alarm
in the list:
– by scrolling and clicking
– by using the arrow-down and arrow-up keys
• At the left of the Alarm List, the rank in the list is displayed.
• At the center part of the Alarm List, the Alarm information area is displayed with:
– A View drop-down menu to select the information set to display about the alarm
in the table below. Options are: Identify, Events, Diagnosis, Backup, Attribute,
Threshold, Correlation, State Change, and Additional Information.
– A Dynamic Update Check Box component to set the Alarm Information window
to perform dynamic updates of the selected alarms according to the selection in
the main window.
– A scrollable Attributes and Values list.
• Below the attributes list a button to expand the window in order to view or edit user
Notes on the alarm. To the left of the button is an indicator that appears if a note
exists on the alarm, and a timestamp of when the note was placed there. The Apply
Notes button allows the user to validate the user note modification.

Filter List Panel Window

The Filter List Panel is launched by clicking a Filter Tab in any number of windows. The
Filter List Panel allows the user to select active filters from the list of available filters in
the filter repository and to use the command buttons on the top to either Delete or Edit
them. The user can also create new filters in the repository. The New and Edit buttons
launch the filter configuration window, as described in “Filter Configuration Window”
(p. 2-31).
The Filter List Panel is used to:
• Modify the sublist definition from the filter repositories (two repositories for Basic
and Extended Filters per user)
• Modify in IM administration the definition of the Archiving filter, Auto Purge,
Auto-TT, Auto Ack, Aging, and Trigger from the unique Administration filter
repository
• Define the active filter to retrieve alarms from archive in the Historical GUI
The Filter List Panel is used in two ways in the filter definition process:
• In the Basic filter definition part from the Basic User filter repository (one repository
per user). In this case, only one filter is selectable in the list. For more details, see
“Basic Filter Sub-Tabbed Pane” (p. 2-35).
• In the Extended filter definition part from the Extended User filter repository (one
repository per user). In this case, several filters are selectable in the list and a logical
OR "Match any" operator is applied on the selected list. For more details, see
“Extended Filter Sub-Tabbed Pane” (p. 2-35).
The working area is made of three parts:
• In the top part, three buttons are shown (New, Edit, and Delete) which allow the user
to create, modify, or delete filters. If a filter is selected before clicking on the New
button, then the Filter configuration window appears with the definition of the
selected filter in order to create a new filter which is a copy of the selected one. The
Delete and Edit buttons are enabled only when a filter is selected in the list. When the
user asks for a filter deletion, a confirmation is requested. The action performed by

using the three buttons is not applied at the server side before the user applies them
(using the Apply button). For example, when the user deletes a filter, then the selected
filter is deleted from the graphical list. But the deletion of the filter from the
repository is effective (on the server side) only after having clicked on the Apply
button.
• In the center part, a table displays a filter list. This is a list of all existing filters. Each
filter of this list may be selected in order to edit or delete it. Multiple selection is not
allowed. This table contains three columns:
– The Filter Names column in read-only mode displays the name of the filters.
– The Active column contains a check box which allows the user to select
(associate), or not select, the corresponding filter.
– The Rules column in read-only mode displays the rule (that is, the logical
equation) defined by the filter.
• In the bottom part, the Description text field displays a short description of the
selected filter. This field is in read-only mode.
Filter Configuration Window

The Filter Configuration window is launched from one of many windows by following
the path: Modify Sublist > Filter Tab > New or Edit button. This window allows
operators to create a filter or to modify an existing one, and save the filter to the filter
repository. A Filter is defined by a logical AND Match all filter criteria combination of
filter criteria. The window title of this window changes to match the button that launched
it. For example, it could be either New Filter or Edit Filter.
The working area is made of:
• In the center part, a modular expandable series of conditions named Filter Criteria
define the filter criterion on which the AND logical operator will be applied in order
to form the filter operation. Each condition has the following syntax and appears on
one line. (Each line defines a condition.) [To be removed] [Not]
<attribute> <operator> <value> where:

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
[To be removed] is used to select the conditions which are to be removed when
performing fewer action.
– [NOT] is the optional NOT operator defined by a check box. If this check box is
selected, then the condition defined by this line is negated.
– <attribute> is the name of an attribute. This name may be chosen among the
list of all possible attributes by using a combination box. This list of all possible
attributes is given by the server. When an attribute is selected, then the fields
<operator> and <value> are updated with values corresponding to the type of the
chosen attribute. An attribute may be selected only one time in the definition of
the Filter criteria. This means that if the user selects a condition, this condition
will no longer be available in the list of possible attributes for future Filter criteria
definition.
– <operator> is an operator depending on the attribute type. This <operator> is
chosen from a list of possible operators defined by a combination box. This list of
possible operators depends on the attribute type.
• <value> is the value given for this attribute. Depending on the selected attribute and
operator, this value may be either:
--a free string defined by the user.
--a value chosen from a list of the possible values. This <value> is either defined by a
text field or by a combination box, depending on the attribute type.
--multiple values. This means that more than one value can be selected for the
condition. Then, a logical OR is applied among all selected values. In this case, an
active button is available at the right side of the value area. This button opens a
secondary window which allows the user to select the multiple values.
• Three buttons named More, Fewer, and Remove All allow the user to add a new
condition to the end of the condition list (button More) or to remove the conditions to
be removed (button Fewer) or remove all conditions (button Remove All).
• The read-only text field named Rule contains the current equation defined by the filter
displayed in this window. This text field is updated in real time each time something
changes in the Filter Criteria panel above.
• In the bottom part, the text field named Description of this filter may be modified by
the user. This is a short description of this filter. This description is displayed for the
selected filter in the Description text field in the Filter list panel.
• Two buttons at the bottom of the window:
– The OK button validates all of the modifications already made. Initially, when the
dialog box is opened, the OK button is disabled (grayed out until the user makes
some changes).
– The Cancel button cancels the current filter creation or modification and closes
the window.

Event Date and Time
If an Event Date and Time attribute is selected, then:
• The only operator available is Equal.
• The Value text field area is not editable.
• The definition of the time intervals is done from the active button available at the
right side of the value area - the button labeled (+). This button opens a secondary
window which allows the user to define several time intervals. Then, a logical OR
“Match Any” combination is applied on the times intervals.
Each time interval may be defined with one or two conditions:
• From YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS
• To YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS
• Or both From YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS To YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS
A check box in front of each condition allows the user to activate it. Otherwise, the
corresponding Date/Time area is not editable.
The entered values in the Date/Time areas are dynamically checked according to the
workstation's time zone. If the user enters a wrong value, the GUI sends a beep and the
area automatically restores the previous value. Moreover, two arrows at the right side of
the area allow the user to increase or decrease the field value (for instance YYYY or DD
...) on which the cursor is located.
Sublist Properties Window

The sublist properties window allows the user to configure the characteristics of a
selected sublist from the Counter Summary area. If the selected sublist is the Main Alarm
List, the filter definition part is grayed out and not sensitive in order to prevent filter
modification. To launch the Sublist Properties window, you can click on the Type of
alarm in the Counter Summary area, and then follow the path: Sublist > Modify.
It is made of:
• At the top, always visible
– The sublist name field
– Sublist color button. Clicking on the color box launches the JFC Color Chooser
allowing the user to choose the sublist color.
• Four tabbed panes:
– Display
– Filter
– Sort
– Trigger

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
• Four buttons at the bottom of the window which are applicable to all of the property
windows and not only to the current visible tabbed pane:
– The Apply button validates all of the modifications already made. Initially, when
the dialog box is opened, the Apply button is disabled (grayed out until the user
makes some changes).
– The Restore button retrieves the values of all fields before modification. If the
user has made changes in the window, even in the filter repository management
(New, Edit and Delete Filter), then a warning Alert dialog box asks if the user
wishes to apply the change before restoring.
– The Close button closes the window. If the user has made changes in the window,
even in the filter repository management (New, Edit and Delete Filter), then a
warning Alert dialog box asks if the user wishes to apply the change before
closing.
If the user modifies the sublist name with a name already used, then a warning dialog box
warns the user.
Display Tabbed Pane
The Display Tabbed Pane contains a double list (Hidden Attributes and Displayed
Attributes) to select which attributes should be displayed as columns in the sublist and to
set the display order of these attributes. A set of buttons is placed in the center of the
double list; the > button moves an item to the right, the < button moves an item to the left,
and buttons for Move All Left (<<) and Move All Right (>>) which allows the user to
move all items in one click. The list of displayed attributes has two arrows on the right to
change the order of the elements (move up, or move down).
Filter Tabbed Pane
The Filter Tabbed Pane allows the user to select a filter to be applied to the sublist:
• No Filter: a Match all filter is applied to the sublist and all alarms are included.
• Include alarms matching the following: This allows the user to select the active filter
from the list of available filters in the User filter repository (one filter repository per
user). The filters created and managed from the filter repository are a “Match all Filter
criteria” logical combination.
A Not check box allows the user to negate the user-defined filter. For the description of
the filter list panel and actions on the three buttons (New, Edit, Delete), refer to “Filter
List Panel Window” (p. 2-30) and “Working Area Description” (p. 2-30).
When Extended attributes are defined, this tabbed pane is made of two sub-tabbed panes:
the Basic filter definition tabbed pane and the Extended filter definition described later in
this section. The filter is defined as a logical AND between both sub-tabbed pane
definitions. A global Not check box allows the user to negate the filter defined by both
sub-tabbed panes, and in the bottom part, a read-only text field displays the Global Rule
obtained by a logical AND between rules of selected filters in both sub-tabbed panes.

Basic Filter Sub-Tabbed Pane
The Basic Filter Sub-Tabbed Pane contains a filter list panel in order to define the Basic
filter definition part. The description of the filter list panel is available in “Filter List
Panel Window” (p. 2-30). It allows the user to select the active filter from the list of
available filters in the User Basic filter repository (one Basic filter repository per user).
The filters created and managed from the Basic filter repository are a “Match all Filter
criteria” logical combination.
For the description of the filter list panel and actions on the three buttons (New, Edit,
Delete), refer to “Filter List Panel Window” (p. 2-30) and “Working Area Description”
(p. 2-30).
Extended Filter Sub-Tabbed Pane
The Extended Filter Sub-Tabbed Pane contains a filter list panel in order to define the
Extended filter definition part. The description of the filter list panel is available in “Filter
List Panel Window” (p. 2-30). It allows the user to select several active filters from the
list of available filters in the User Extended filter repository (one Extended filter
repository per user). Then, a logical OR Match Any combination is applied on the selected
filters. The filters created and managed from the Extended filter repository are a Match
All Filter Criteria logical combination. A Not to all check box allows the user to negate
the filter combination defined in the Extended filter list.
For the description of the filter list panel and actions on the three buttons (New, Edit,
Delete), refer to “Filter List Panel Window” (p. 2-30) and “Working Area Description”
(p. 2-30).
Sort Tabbed Pane
The Sort Tabbed Pane contains a double list (Unselected Sort criteria and Selected Sort
criteria) to choose the attributes lists which are used in the sublist view for sorting the
alarm list. The order in the Selected Sort criteria list defines the sorting order of the
alarms. A set of buttons is placed in the center of the double list; the > button moves an
item to the right, the < button moves an item to the left and buttons for Move All Left
(<<) and Move All Right (>>) which allow the user to move all items in one click. The list
of selected sort criteria has two arrows on the right to change the sorting order (move up
or move down). The sort direction is defined by using a toggle button on the right of each
selected attribute. It is possible to invert this direction by a double click on the toggle
button or by using the contextual menu available on each button.

Trigger Tabbed Pane
This tabbed pane allows the user to configure the trigger of the sublist. It is made of three
parts:
• The Tone part at the top of the panel: This part is made of a toggle button which
allows the user to turn the tone On or Off, a text field to display the path of the played
sound file, and a button which displays the Java File Chooser allowing the user to
choose the sound file. The supported sound files extensions are: mid, wav, rmf and au.
The tone is On if the toggle button is checked. If the specified path for the played
sound file is wrong, or when errors are encountered, a beep is heard instead of the
sound file.
• The Blink part is made of a toggle button which allows the user to turn the blink On or
Off. The blink is On if the toggle button is checked; then the sublist blinks on each
incoming alarm.
• The Trigger part in the middle of the panel, Incoming Alarms Trigger: This part
allows the user to disable or to enable the trigger on incoming alarms and then to
define it. Then, using a combination box, the user chooses an action, Execute or
Navigate:
– The first combination box allows the user to choose the threshold condition
between On incoming alarms or When strictly greater than. In the latter case, a
text field allows the user to enter the number of alarms which defines the
threshold.
– The second combination box allows the user to choose the action activated by the
threshold.
Action Execute is a second combination box option that allows the users to enter
a local machine script or command, to execute, or choose the script or command
to execute from the list of scripts and commands provided by the server.
Action Navigate is a second combination box option that allows the user to
choose the application to navigate to (between a list of applications defined by the
server).
– A third combination box allows the user to choose which attributes must be sent to
the application. The choices are No alarm attribute, All alarm attributes, and
Displayed alarm attributes. This third combination box is only activated if the
second box action selection is Navigate.
• The Trigger part in the bottom of the panel, Outgoing Alarms Trigger: This part has
the same definition for the preceding Trigger part except that the trigger is defined on
outgoing alarms and for the threshold part which is given here by When strictly
smaller than instead of When strictly greater than.

The Filter List Panel that is displayed on numerous tabbed panes in the Administration
window is the same on each tab. The Filter List Panel is enabled only when the Set a
Personal Filter radio button from the precedent part (Filter option) is selected. This part
is composed of a check box allowing the user to negate the defined filter and has two
tabbed panes:
• Basic Filter Tabbed Pane: This tabbed pane contains a filter list panel in order to
define the Basic filter definition part. The description of the filter list panel is
available in “Filter List Panel Window” (p. 2-30). It allows the user to select the
active filter from the list of available filters in the User Basic filter repository (one
Basic filter repository per user). The filters created and managed from the Basic filter
repository are a Match all Filter criteria logical combination.
• Extended Filter Tabbed Pane: This tabbed pane is visible only when the Extended
Attributes are defined (on the server side). It contains a filter list panel in order to
define the Extended filter definition part. The description of the filter list panel is
available in “Filter List Panel Window” (p. 2-30). It allows the user to select several
active filters from the list of available filters in the User Extended filter repository
(one Extended filter repository per user). Then a logical OR Match Any combination
is applied on the selected filters. The filters created and managed from the Extended
filter repository are a Match all Filter criteria logical combination. A Not to all
check box allows the user to negate the filter combination defined in the Extended
filter list.
Current Alarm List (CAL) Administration Tabbed Pane

The Current Alarm List (CAL) Administration Tabbed Pane allows the user to configure
the Current Alarm List of the concerning IM. It is made of three parts:
• At the top part, the overflow parameters: CAL maximum size, Warning filling
percentage, Overflow action mode, and Overflow purge size. Each of these four
parameters may be modified by the user.
• In the center part, the purging sort criteria parameters displayed are: a double list
(Unselected criteria and Selected criteria) which allows the user to choose the
attributes used for sorting the purge of the alarms of the concerning IM CAL; a set of
buttons are placed in the center of the double list; the > button moves an item to the
right, the < button moves an item to the left, and buttons for Move All Left << and
Move All Right >> which allow the user to move all items in one click.

Archive Filter, Auto Purge, Auto TT, and Auto Ack Tabbed Panes
Each one of these tabbed panes allows the user to select the filters for its specific purpose
(Archiving, Auto Purge, Auto-TT, or Auto Ack) with specific options. Each pane is
composed of two parts, for example, on the Archive panel:
• Filter option: This part is composed of different radio buttons allowing the user to
select only one option. The different options are the following:
– No Archive: When selected, a Match None filter is applied on the Archive action.
– Archive All: When selected, a Match all filter is applied on the Archive action.
– Current Filter set on alarm source: This option appears only when there is a
filter already applied on the alarm source and not defined in the User filter
repository, for example, for Administration filters defined on the AS and applied
on the alarm source. This option is accompanied by a read-only text field to
display the filter rule applied on the alarm source.
– Set a personal filter: When selected, this option enables the filter tabbed panes
and allows the user to select the active filter from the list of available filters.
• Filter List Panel: See “Filter List Panel on Administration Windows” (p. 2-38) for
details on Administration windows.
If a user modifies an administration filter in the AS server, while other users have the
corresponding tab open, then a pop-up window warns the user that the current filter was
changed by another user.
When Extended Attributes are defined (on the server side), the filter is defined as a logical
AND between both sub-tabbed pane definitions. A global Not check box allows the user
to negate the filter defined by both sub-tabbed panes and a read-only text field displays
the Global Rule obtained by a logical AND between rules of selected filters in both
sub-tabbed panes.
Aging List Tabbed Pane

The Aging List Tabbed Pane contains the agings list panel. It allows the user to select the
active agings from the list of available agings in the unique Administration aging
repository.

Trigger Configuration Window
The Trigger Configuration Window allows users to create a trigger, or to modify an
existing one, and save the trigger to the trigger repository. The window title of this
window changes to match the button in the trigger tabbed pane of the Administration
window that launched it, for example, either the Trigger Creation or the Trigger Edition
window.
• Three tabbed panes:
– The Mail/SMS tabbed pane
The Definition Tabbed Pane allows the user to configure the trigger. It is made of three
parts:
• The Alarm Trigger Name: This text area allows the user to define the trigger name. In
edition mode, this area is insensitive.
• The Incoming Alarms Trigger part in the middle of the panel: This part allows the
user to disable or to enable the trigger which has to be activated on incoming alarms,
and then to define it. Then, using a combination box, the user chooses an action:
Execute, Navigate, or Send Mail/SMS.
– The first combination box allows the user to choose the threshold condition
between On all incoming alarms or When greater than. In the latter case, a text
field allows the user to enter the number of alarms which defines the threshold.
– The second combination box allows the user to choose the action activated by the
threshold:
Action Execute is a second combo box that allows the user to enter a local
machine script or command to execute, or to choose the script or command to
execute from the list of scripts and commands provided by the server.
Action Navigate is a second combination box that allows the user to choose the
application to navigate to (between a list of applications defined by the server).
A third combination box allows the user to choose which attributes must be sent to
the application. The choices are no alarm attribute, all alarm attributes, and
displayed alarm attributes. This box is activated when the Action Navigate
option is selected.
– Action Send Mail/SMS: All other combination boxes are disabled, and the
configuration should be done in the Mail/SMS tabbed pane.
Note: The Action Send Mail/SMS should be used with the condition On all
incoming alarms; it is not recommended to use it with the condition When
greater than (since several Mail/SMS may be sent in case of alarms flow).

• The Trigger part in the bottom of the panel, Outgoing Alarms Trigger: The definition
of this part is the same as for the preceding part except for two differences :
– For the threshold part, which is given here by When strictly smaller than instead
of When strictly greater than.
– The user cannot choose the send mail/sms action; there are only two choices:
Execute or Navigate.
Filter Tabbed Pane
In general, the Filter Tabbed Pane window descriptions are the same as the Definition
Tabbed Pane. Refer to “Definition Tabbed Pane” (p. 2-42) for details.
Mail/SMS Tabbed Pane
The Mail/SMS Tabbed Pane allows the user to configure the message (email and/or SMS)
to be sent when the Send Mail/SMS action is chosen, and the trigger execution condition is
reached. It is made of seven parts:
• Type of the message to be sent: email and/or SMS
• Message subject: which applies only to email sending
• Message header: a free text input by the user. It is displayed on the top of the
message. The user can edit the header by typing its text on the text area of the dialog
box shown with an edit action. The message header can also be deleted directly by
performing a delete action.
• Mail addresses list: list of email contacts. The user can add, edit, and remove
contacts. The user can also change the activation state of a contact. The email is sent
only to active contacts.
• Phone numbers list: list of phone contacts. The user can add, edit, and remove
contacts. The user can also change the activation state of a contact. The SMS is sent
only to active contacts.
• Alarm attributes: a double list containing displayed and hidden alarm attributes lists.
Only the displayed attributes list is included to the message.
• Message footer: a free text input by the user. It is displayed on the bottom of the
message. The user can edit the footer by typing its text on the text area of the dialog
box shown with an edit action. The message footer can also be deleted directly by
performing a delete action.
Note: The Message body is built from three parts organized as follows:
• Message header
• Alarm attributes list formatted as : attribute = value
• Message footer
In addition to these inputs, other settings are required for sending emails and SMSes.
For Email:
• Mail server IP address
• Mail server listening port
• User login

• User password
• Sender mail address
For SMS:
• Service provider account (login, password)
• Service provider mail address
• Subject of the email which will be transmitted by the service provider
Notes:
• The Message Subject maximum length is 255 characters.
• The Message Header and Footer maximum lengths are 1024 characters.
• The Mail Address Name and Email address maximum length is 255 characters.
• The Phone Number Name and Phone Number field maximum length is 255
characters.
• When typing in these fields, since the number of typed characters is less than the
Maximum Length, the field is still editable. Otherwise, it is not editable (except to
delete characters).
• The copy-paste operation (using Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V keyboard tools) is also controlled. If a
copy-paste of a text that exceeds the maximum length is performed, only the first
(maximum length - already existing characters) characters are taken into account.
Severity Change List Tabbed Pane

The Severity Change List Tabbed Pane contains the severity change list panel. It allows
the user to select the active severity change from the list of available severity changes in
the unique Administration severity change repository.
• In the top part, three buttons shown are New, Edit, and Delete, which allow the user
to create, modify, or delete severity change. If a severity change is selected before
clicking on the New button, then the severity change configuration window appears
with the definition of the selected severity change in order to create a new severity
change, which is a copy of the selected one. The Delete and Edit buttons are enabled
only when a severity change is selected in the list.
• In the center part, a table displays the severity change list. This is a list of all existing
severity changes. Each severity change of this list may be selected in order to edit or
delete it. Multi-selection is allowed. This table contains three columns:
– The Active column contains a check box which allows the user to activate the
corresponding severity change, or not to activate it.
– The Severity Change Name column, in read-only mode, displays the name of the
severity change.

In order to customize the time-out between two different file collection operations the
following options can be inserted in the process starting command:
/usr/Systems/SDH_<nms_instance>/bin/pmCollMng -timeout15m <n>
where timeout15m <n> allows to customize the time-out value representing the collection
frequency of the 15 minutes transfer files from the EMLs to SDH. The value<n> must be
expressed in minutes and it must be included between 15 (i.e. a quarter) and 225 (i.e. 3
hours and 45 minutes). If the value<n> is not specified the default value is 15 minutes;
/usr/Systems/SDH_<nms_instance>/bin/pmCollMng -timeoutday <n>
where timeoutday <n> allows to customize the time-out value representing the collection
frequency of the 24 hours transfer files from the EMLs to SDH. The collection activity
has anyway a built-in time-out of 4 hours after midnight to collect data file relevant for
the last elapsed day. The value <n>must be expressed in minutes and it must be included
between 1440 (i.e. one day) and 8640 (i.e. six days). If the value <n> is not specified the
default value is 1440.

TSD data file collection time-out

Relevant Process: tsdFepColl
T-FEPCOLL acts on a periodic basis: the collection frequency could be provisioned from
an user by means of a configuration file COLL_CFG.
In COLL_CFG file the user can specify:
• the granularity (e.g. G 24 24 hours granularity, G 15 15 minutes granularity)
• a granularity list indicating the day partition and the collection frequency
(e.g. 12 60, a copy from EML is done every 60 minutes for the period starting from the
previous period end, till 12 A.M)
The configuration file COLL_CFG must be present in the directory specified by the
environment variable PM_DATA_WORK.. It is in charge of the user to provide the
COLL_CFG file.
When the file COLL_CFG is not present a default value is adopted from the tsdFepColl
agent:
• G 24: frequency one hour
• G 15: frequency 15 minutes
SENIM Maximum number of data collection processes

Relevant Process: pmCollMng
To define the maximum number of parallel collection activity that can be executed the
following option can be inserted in the process starting command:
/usr/Systems/SDH_<nms_instance>/bin/pmCollMng - maxscript <n>
the value <n> represents the maximum number of scripts that can be execute in parallel to
collect the PM transfer files from the EMLs. If it is not specified the default value is 3.

PM Overview
Performance Monitoring (PM) Description
Performance Monitoring facilitates the planning and implementation of proactive,
forward-looking network maintenance strategies by providing a centralized facility to
monitor network performance systematically, which is accomplished by non-intrusively
gathering in-service information about the state of the managed NEs.
The generic common component used to manage Performance Monitoring issues for all
components included in the 1350 OMS product set is referred to as Converged
Performance Monitoring (CPM).
The aim of the Performance Monitoring at SDH side is to allow the user to monitor
transport objects, i.e. the objects path and trail. The monitoring activity is executed on the
involved tps.
In order to monitor transport objects, the user creates objects called " Measures ", which
are performance monitoring work sessions, defined by a set of characteristics according
to the Customer's needs.
After creating the measure, the user must associate (correlate) to it the transport/s to
monitor and the termination points (TPs).
The status of the measure can be:
• Planned. This means that the measure has been defined.
• Active. This means that the collection activity is working.
• Stopped. This means that the collection activity is terminated. The collection activity
can restart upon entering the Activate command.
To activate a measure on paths/trails, the following conditions are mandatory:
• the path/trail working state = normal
• the path configuration state = implemented or commissioned
• the trail configuration state = configured at LO
Note: Only one measure can be active at the same time on a PM termination point for
a given granularity value ( 15 min, 24 h )
Note: For a path terminated to all virtual objects, the relevant tps cannot be
automatically correlated.
In the following paragraphs it is given a description of the main procedures relevant to
PM.
Note: TCA handling on 24 Hours Measurements
This feature allows the definition of TCA profiles on 24h unidirectional measurements.

The user is able to correlate a TCA to 24h measurements. For new NEs, the Maintenance
measurement should to be used but, for compatibility, also the QoS measurement is
accepted.
Performance Monitoring Functionalities

This section describes the functionalities of the Performance Monitoring (PM)
component, which offers a graphical user interface (GUI) to generate different types of
PM reports.
Performance management includes the storage of historical performance data of managed
Network Elements, reporting of the stored performance data, and long-term trend analysis
of the stored performance data.
The system administrator can request the PM application to perform database
management actions like backup/restore, data purge, database optimization, database
cleanup, and database size monitoring.
Performance Monitoring Collection Timeframes

Performance Monitoring provides the following collection timeframe functionalities
related to management of performance data collected by each NE:
• Start and Stop PM on a specific TP (Termination Point)
The following different granularity measurement types may be started:
– Every 15 minutes
– One hour
– One day
– One week
– One month
– One year
Performance Monitoring Access

The Performance Monitoring component can be accessed from Web desktop (portal
window) by following the path: Search > PM or Action > PM.
If the user selected the Search option in the path, the following submenus are available
from which to make additional selections:
• PM Domains on EML

PM Architectural Overview
PM Architecture
The 1350 OMS CPM is divided into three main functional subsystems, as follows:
• CPM GUI Server
• CPM NML
• CPM EML
CPM GUI Server
In 1350 OMS, the MS-GUI includes specificities related to each component in a GUI
layer, referred to as the GUI Server. The CPM component includes all of the PM data in
the CPM GUI Server. Through rendering, the information made available by the MS-GUI
can be commonly used by all applications.
CPM NML
CPM provides a specific add-on to Connectivity Managers through a CPM NML plug-in.
The CPM NML can be plugged inside each Technological Network Manager in order to
cover PM management for Termination Points associated to Connectivities. The CPM
NML can be separately plugged inside the following Network Management Systems
(Connectivity Managers): 1350 OMS-SDH, 1350 OMS-SONET, 1350 OMS-PKT, 1350
OMS-WDM.
CPM EML
CPM provides a specific add-on to the Element Manager through a CPM EML plug-in.
The CPM EML can be plugged inside 1350 OMS-EML to manage Historical
Performance Monitoring Counters. Stored PM data can be retrieved for visualization and
reporting at a later time.
CPM GUI Server

The CPM GUI Server is a single component that manages all CPM specificities needed
for PM data representation. The main role of the CPM GUI Server is to export the CPM
Object model to the MS GUI Renderer. All of the objects that are exposed by CPM NML
and by CPM EML are known by the CPM GUI Server. The CPM GUI Server is federated
(that is, a single instance is deployed and communicates with all CPM NML and CPM
EML plug-ins).
Features of the CPM GUI Server include:
• Capability to dynamically add/remove new interfaces toward new CPM NML and/or
new CPM EML plug-ins
• Navigation toward windows available in the same Rendering schema (Internal
Navigations) and toward an External System (External Navigation) intended as other
systems having a dedicated Proprietary User Interface
• Interfacing with the generic MS-GUI Renderer for data visualization
Note: The CPM GUI Server has no data persistency.

CPM GUI Server Interfaces
CPM GUI Server Interfaces include the following:
• External Interfaces - The CPM-NBI Interface allow an External System (OSS) to
extract PM information from 1350 OMS.
• Internal Interfaces - allow the CPM GUI Server to request all operations on PM
objects. This interface is a CORBA interface supporting Notification Service (for
asynchronous events). Over this interface, the CPM GUI Server plays the role of
Client while the CPM NML plays the role of Server.
• Database Interfaces - have direct access to the CPM NML database. The CPM GUI
Server can access many CPM NML contemporary databases (one per technology).
This means that the CPM GUI Server encapsulates the CPM NML relational model. A
dynamic mechanism allows the CPM GUI Server to add/remove new CPM NML
database instances.
• CPM EML Database - has direct access to the CPM EML database. The CPM GUI
Server can access many CPM EML contemporary databases (one per Network
Adapter). This means that the CPM GUI Server encapsulates the CPM EML relational
model. A dynamic mechanism allows the CPM GUI Server to add/remove new CPM
EML database instances.
CPM NML Interfaces

CPM NML Interfaces include the following:
• External Interfaces
– CPM-NBI Interface - allows an External System (OSS) to extract PM information
from 1350 OMS.
– Database Interface - allows all Network Manager Applications hosting CPM NML
to drive PM activities on connectivity. Results are exposed by CPM NML through
a DB view. The following operations are defined over the Interface: Connectivity
Creation, Deletion, Modification; Start/Stop PM over a Connectivity;
Connectivity Implementation/Deimplementation; Connectivity Change Topology
(such as add/remove terminations); Connectivity Synchronization (for
realignment).
– CPM-AAL Interface (Application Adaptation Layer) - allows the CPM NML to
perform provisioning operations toward Network Adapters (and consequently
toward Network Elements) in a way that is completely independent from the
adopted Management Protocol. The AAL interface is technology-independent.
AAL implements the following functionalities: Start PM on Termination Points;
Stop PM on Termination Points; Manage TCA Profiles (create, delete, and
correlate).
• Internal Interfaces
CPM-GUI Interface - allows the CPM GUI Server to request all operations on PM
objects. This interface is a CORBA interface supporting Notification Service (for
asynchronous events). Over this interface, the CPM GUI Server plays the role of
Client while the CPM NML plays the role of Server.

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
• Database Interfaces
– CPM NML Database - has direct access to the CPM NML database (its own
database). Each CPM NML can only access its own database instance (while
horizontal access from one CPM NML plug toward the database of another CPM
NML plug is not allowed).
– CPM EML Database - has direct access to the CPM EML database. The CPM
NML can access many CPM EML contemporary databases (one per Network
Adapter). This means that CPM NML encapsulates the CPM EML relational
model. A dynamic mechanism allows CPM NML to add/remove new CPM EML
database instances.
CPM EML Interfaces

CPM EML Interfaces include the following:
• External Interface
– File Interface - allows EMLIM applications to publish PM files containing all
Terminations Points with Historical PM data collection/production enabled, and
related counter values for each managed Network Element and for each
technology. Three types of files are produced: Description File, Configuration
File, and Transfer File.
• IOO Interface - allows two types:
– Unsolicited - where a set of files is periodically produced by CPM EML and IOO
uses those files to periodically export PM data toward External Systems.
– Solicited: IOO - allows access to the CPM EML database extracting PM data for a
filtered set of termination points and for a given period after a specific request
coming from an External System is made.
• Internal Interface - This is not applicable for this release.
• Database Interfaces
– CPM EML Database - CPM NML has direct access to the CPM EML database.
CPM NML can access many CPM EML contemporary databases (one per
Network Adapter). This means that CPM NML encapsulates the CPM EML
relational model. A dynamic mechanism allows CPM NML to add/remove new
CPM EML database instances.
CPM Architecture and Transaction Behavior between CPM Elements and External Applications
The following sections present the main behaviors for CPM architecture and transactions
between CPM elements and external applications.
• Start PM over a connectivity
• PM data storage at CPM EML
• On-demand report generation

CPM NML accepts the request, prepares its internal structures, and sends the list of TPs
to be started to API, which implements the AAL interface.
4
The AAL API translates the request to Start PM over TPs toward Network Adapters,
using the right Management Protocol.

PM Report Analysis
PM Report
PM reports can be used for analytical purposes of performance data for specific
components of 1350 OMS. When an analysis is required, PM reports are generated per
user specifications.
The information that follows provides a general summary of the processes required to
produce PM reports. Some activities are optional. See “Generate Tabular, Line Chart, or
Bar Chart Reports” (p. 6-45) for specific steps to generate reports.
• Choose a filter combination.
• Select Performance Entities.
• Use Search functions to select Performance Entities.
• Set Reporting Criteria.
• Select Performance Parameters of the selected Performance Entities.
• Set the threshold for Performance Entities.
• Set presentation options for the report.
• Set the user customized label options for the TP label.
• Trigger the Report Generation.
• Manipulate Reports (tabular or graphical report).
Note: Be aware that for 1830PSS Network Elements the PM collection for TPs is
available only for NML enabled TPs, because a configuration parameter setup during
System Configuration phase is set to have a value=FALSE as default, which indicates
that SNA process, which manages 1830PSS NEs, collects PM only on NML enabled
TP's To have the collection also for the other TPs, the default value should be set to
TRUE as explained in the 1350 OMS EML Guide, chapter 4 “Configuration”.
Selective PM
Description
PM data collection is enhanced to improve the efficiency and scalability of the system.
The Selective PM feature gives the user control over which connections to monitor with
PM data collection. Monitoring is turned on only for those connections of interest, for all
others, PM collection is turned off. This feature also improves the efficiency and
scalability of the system by limiting the PM monitoring to only those connections of
interest.
PM monitoring can also be turned on either when the connection is first provisioned in
the network or at any time thereafter from the 1350 OMS Trail/Path Connection List
modify capability. The 1350 OMS manages the life cycle of the connection by passing the
connection through several states.The last two states in the implementation process are
Implemented and Commissioned. PM monitoring may be started at the Implemented

state and monitored to ensure stability before moving the connection to the
Commissioned state. The user has the option of selecting either 15 minute and/or 24
hour PM data collection. Once the connection is provisioned in the network, the user may
enable/disable PM data collection at any time by modifying the connection from the 1350
OMS Path/Trail Connection lists. When PM is enabled, the user may view the results of
the PM data collection on all ports associated with a connection through the PM Search
Menu items either at a connection or a port level. The viewing of PM data has not
changed with this enhancement. The advantage of the Selective PM feature is that PM
data is only collected on ports of active connections where the user has requested PM data
collection. PM data is not collected on other ports. This reduces the overall processing
and allows for improved scalability of the system. If the user is interested in monitoring
PM data on ports that are not part of a connection, then they can bring up the Web User
Interface from the system and track the PM data for those additional ports.

Tabular Reports
A Tabular Report displays Measurements from multiple TPs in a table(s) for EML or
NML.
Note: A Measured Parameter may not totally cover the complete time interval. In this
case, there are TPs displayed with a Status of LOD.
The report format presentation for multiple Measurement Points in a table and for one
item per table are as follows
• Each column displays the values of the Measurements of a single Measured
Parameter.
• The name and/or unit of the Measured Parameter is displayed above each column.
• Each row displays the data at one Measurement Point/timestamp combination.
• The name of the Measurement Point and its timestamp are displayed to the left of
each row.
• Rows are sorted according to their timestamps from top to bottom.
• When a Measurement Point or a Measured Parameter is modified, the report is
updated according to the new selection. If a Measurement Point is modified, all rows
are displayed by default when a report is generated. If a Measured Parameter is
modified, all columns are displayed by default when a report is generated.
• When a Measurement is not available, there is an indication of such in the NA cell of
the report.
• When a column width is modified, the column width is saved for future report
generation.
• If you right-click in a cell, a pop-up menu is displayed with an option to Sort. This
option allows you to select how a column is sorted. A selected column can be sorted
in ascending or descending order on parameter value.

Description
By default all PM measures are correlated to system available report profiles. There are
two default report profiles available in the system which can generate CSV files every
two hours and 24 hours. 15 minutes PM measures are always correlated to two hours
report profile by default and 24 hours PM measures are always correlated to 24 hours
report profile by default.
All PM measures are correlated by default to a system available report profiles. To change
the correlated report profile, the user has to uncorrelate the existing report profiles with
the measures to correlate a previously created report profiles.
For all the PM measures, the system generated CSV files are stored in the directory
/user/system/<NMS directory>/CPM/outputfiles/

manually the measure by means of the command Measure Start, otherwise the
Measure will be started at the Start Time and stopped at the Stop time.
• defaults tps. You can specify:
– TRUE. The PM transport is created with some default TPs automatically
correlated ( for each of them a PMTP instance is created )
– - One pmtp ( NAP/CAP type ) for a bidirectional transport is enough because the
NE provides the information relevant to both ends (NEAR END + FAR END).
- If the path is broadcast all sink ends are monitored. (Only real ends are
considered.). Virtual NAPs or CAPs are not automatically monitored; the closest
real CTP ( boundary CTP ) will be monitored.
– FALSE. Only the PM transport is created; no pmtp is created.
• Monitored layer. You can specify the layer of the objects monitored by the measure:
– LO - low order
– HO - high order
– All Layers
– CBR
– Data
– MS
• granularity. The granularity is the monitoring frequency, i.e. the frequency of
historical data counters grouping. You can select:
– 24 hours . Data are grouped per day.
– 15 minutes. Data are grouped per quarter of hour.
• Collect Counter. If its value is:
– TRUE, the counters belonging to granularity periods will be collected, when the
measure is activated
– FALSE, the historical data counters will not be collected, even when the measure
is activated. This implies that the goal of the measure is to set Threshold Crossing
Alarm profiles on the termination points only.
