It gives a network-wide view of network and service performance. With Reporting you can analyze network data, create reports based on that data, and distribute the information within the organization.NetAct PM FunctionalitiesOS86023EN81GLA0#NetAct PM Functionalities Applications: Administration of MeasurementsR 18 G 65 B 145R 0 G 201 B 255R 104G 113B 122R 216G 217B 218R 168G 187B 192Core and background colors:# Nokia Solutions and Networks 2014OS86023EN81GLA0Administration of Measurements (AoM)The Administration of Measurements is the NetAct solution for activating and deactivating measurements in the Network Elements remotely from the network management system.Before data can be inserted into the NetAct database, it is required to activate measurements in the network elements. Measurements can be locally activated with an element manager in the network element directly or centrally with the NetAct application Administration of Measurements. Central measurement administration avoids the inconsistencies that might occur when network elements are administered one-by-one in single operations.The same measurement plan can be activated on all the network elements belonging to the same object class. The Administration of Measurements application provides services to manage measurements, such as creating Measurement Plans to select and schedule measurements and counters in one network element. You can start and stop measurements in one operation for several network elements.With Administration of Measurements, it is not necessary to use commands to start and schedule measurements separately for each element in a network. The reusable Measurement Plans allow systematic and controlled administration of the measurements.Furthermore, the non-manual approach not only reduces the number of errors, but also has cost-saving effects.

Typically the measurements from one network technology are bundled in a data module. NetAct 8 offers the adaptations as part of the common functionality, which can be activated if the appropriate network technology is available.Three tasks have to be executed to enable the NetAct to receive measurement data of a network element:An adaptation that supports the network element type has been installed in NetActThe physical network element has been integrated into the NetAct, so that performance and alarm data can be exchanged.The network element has been configured to send measurement data, either manually or by using Administration of Measurements.These preparation tasks enable a continuous PM data stream from the network element to the receiving NetAct Base.The received data is transformed (when necessary) to the NetAct Base native PM data format. Required conversion configurations or scripts are part of the respective adaptation. Once measurements are inserted into the NetAct Base database the respective data is available for further reporting and usage.

Admin Toolkit allows you to:Check the system status.Monitor and configure the NetAct PM pipe.Data Reliability This report provides a status information on the PM tables, depending on the adaptations configurations. Continuous monitoring of the Data Reliability information allows you to identify gaps in the raw data flow. Once you have identified where data is missing from, you can take appropriate corrective actions.The Data Reliability report is available for all network elements that are integrated to the NetAct system and are sending data to NetAct. However, some restrictions apply: If there is no measurement data available for an adaptation in the NetAct Database, the adaptations and network elements are not visible in the Data Reliability reportsData Reliability is only available for adaptations that support selective summarizationReliability information is only provided on the raw data: the report does not check the completeness of the summary tablesUsing the Data Reliability reportWhen you open the report from the Navigation Tree of AdminToolkit, the cluster-level report is automatically displayed. The report always covers the last seven calendar days. If you change the thresholds for the reliability ranges, click Submit Query to display the updated report;You can drill down to the level of PM tables and check the reliability per measurement by clicking in front of the adaptation in the top-level report. You can return from the PM table overview to the adaptation overview (top-level report) by clicking Go Back.Drilling down along the topology dimension provides information on the reliability at the level of measured objects (in the 2G network dimension: BTSs and TRXs).

With PM NMI, you can transfer PM data to an external system. In OMeS, data export and file transfer are based on an advanced XML format.The OMeS file format exported through the interface allows the use of universal tools with XML support. This enables easy and cost-effective integration of any external system to NetAct.The rule-specific filtering function avoids transferring irrelevant PM data to the external system.Third-party integrations do not cause extra load on the performance database. The capacity of NetAct is thus ensured in all circumstances.3GPP Corba Interface is responsible for handling the conversion of PM data files produced by the NetAct Base into 3GPP compliant PM measurement data files format and pushing those files to the upper level NMS via the File Transfer IRP (FT IRP). The 3GPP-defined file naming conventions are followed by the PM data files. The NBI supports 3GPP standard Release 10.R 18 G 65 B 145R 0 G 201 B 255R 104G 113B 122R 216G 217B 218R 168G 187B 192Core and background colors:# Nokia Solutions and Networks 2014OS86023EN81GLA0PM Northbound InterfaceNokia Solutions and Networks recognizes that not all equipment and tools in an operator's environment are provided by a single vendor. NetAct incorporates the capability to manage multivendor networks from a single screen, independent of the protocol or vendor. An open framework allows using mainstream IT middleware and commercially available application components.The system components of the NetAct interface with each other and the external world via clearly defined interfaces. Some interfaces are open to Nokia Solutions and Networks customers, while others remain in Nokia Solutions and Networks internal use, like interfaces to network elements. Open interfaces is available to customers and access to interface specifications is granted upon the non-disclosure agreement to the customer free of charge. Third parties may obtain the specifications through agreements written a priori with NSN. Interface runtime licenses are subject to commercial agreement.NetAct 8 provides north bound interface for exchanging performance indicators information between NetAct and external systems.
