About WPS

Overview

WPS is a high-performance kernel, which provides support to design and configure

Alcatel-Lucent networks, based on specific networks recommendations. WPS offers a

centralized view, and configuration of all Network Elements (NE) and related parameters.

WPS kernel-based applications can be used for configuration at every stage of network

management:

• Data engineering of a new network

• Data engineering for network expansion, densification

• Data engineering for network optimization

• Data engineering for upgrade provisioning

WPS manages configuration data coming from various sources. The source file format

used in WPS is CM XML.

WPS operations support very large networks. A single instance of WPS supports multiple

WMS main servers within a Regional Operational Center (ROC).

License requirements

Installation scenarios

The following installation scenarios are applicable to the current version of the :

• Installation on a PC client

• Installation in a multi-user environment (such as Citrix Systems, Inc. Citrix® servers).

A license file is required to use the application.

A demo license file is provided with the software for each installation scenario. The demo

licenses can be installed on any PC or Citrix server.

Note: The Version 3.0 software installs the plug-ins for all supported technologies

automatically by default. The installed licenses filter what plug-ins are visible in the

GUI.

The demo license supports all technologies (LTE, W-CDMA, and Small Cells). Thus,

when the demo license is installed, the plug-ins for all supported technologies are

visible in the GUI.

The GUI screen images in this document presume that the user only has the licenses

installed. Thus, the user can only see the features and options in the GUI.

In a multi-user environment such as Citrix, a license is required for each server on which

the application must be installed. If the Citrix environment is composed of a farm of

servers, ensure that you have the required set of licenses for installation and use.

For more information on installation and obtaining and importing the license files, see

Alcatel-Lucent 9952 Wireless Provisioning System - Installation and Administration

Guide, 9YZ-05608-0001-RJZZA.

Kernel package

Characteristics of the kernel package

The kernel package has the following characteristics:

• Defines a structure for the network configuration data. For more information, see

“Structure of the network configuration data” (p. 2-10).

• Provides an event propagation that allows other services to monitor all changes of the

network configuration data. The workorders are updated based on the event

propagation. For more information, see “Event propagation” (p. 2-11).

• Provides a GUI that is built as a set of independent panels. These panels interact

through event propagation. For more information, see “GUI components” (p. 2-12).

• Provides feature-specific services such as templates and datasets with the same model

or GUI. For more information, see “Feature specific services” (p. 2-13).

Structure of the network configuration data

The WPS uses a generic representation of the network configuration data.

The following types of data structure are available:

• Managed object types

• Managed object instances

Managed object types

The following properties represent each managed object type in WPS:

• Name and identifier of the type, for example, Lp, LogicalProcessor.

• Containment constraints such as the kind of managed objects and how many managed

objects it can contain.

• Description of each attribute with the following information:

– Name

– Description

– A primary key indication for the attribute. A primary key is the object identifier in

the containment tree.

– The data type and constraints of the attribute, for instance, a decimal in the range

[1..16383], or a list of 20-character maximum ASCII strings, or a structure

containing two IP addresses and a decimal.

The WPS can manage several versions of the same object type. These versions are

managed as different and independent object types.

The workspace contains a set of models that belong to a set of versions. A given managed

object type can belong to only one version.

General principles

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................





Issue 3 March 2014

Managed object instances

Based on the object types information, the WPS can create and modify object instances.

These object instances are organized into a containment tree. The following properties

describe each node of the tree:

• The managed object type

• The key value (a unique identifier in the scope of its parent)

• The attribute values

• A list of all the managed object instances contained in the node

The keys and attribute values are expressed in the tool using one of the following data

structures:

• Atomic - Represents an atomic value such as an ASCII String, a decimal.

• List - Represents an ordered or variable-length array of values.

• Struct - Represents an ordered or fixed-length array of named values.

Event propagation

The event propagation allows other services to monitor all changes made to the network

configuration data.

Workorder definition

A workorder defines the transition from an initial configuration to a final configuration

that fulfills an evolution request.

A workorder is a structure composed of the following basic changes:

• Creation of a MOI

• Deletion of a MOI

• Modification of a MOI

The network configuration represented in the WPS is the MO tree. The MO tree in WPS

indicate the result of the execution of these changes on an initial reference network

configuration. The MO tree managed within WPS is thus a final view of the configuration

changes.

Configuration change events

An event propagation mechanism is implemented in the kernel, which ensures that any

modification made on the MO tree generates an event. The events are broadcast to the

potential listeners.

The event propagation mechanism is used in the GUI package. The workorder manager

also considers these events to update the current workorder.

The interfaces used to update the MO tree within the WPS are all based on this

mechanism.

Replaying workorders

The MO tree managed within the WPS is a final view of the network. The MO tree

includes all the modifications represented by the workorders.

If a change must be made in the workorder list, the final view is rebuilt with the

following:

• A reference to the initial configuration snapshot is kept within the kernel. Usually, this

is a reference to a snapshot that can be re-imported into WPS.

• The workorder management service enables execution of workorder on a network

configuration.

To re-evaluate a set of workorders, the WPS runs the following operations:

• Discarding the current network configuration

• Loading the initial snapshot

• Executing the commands of each workorder in the list

GUI components

The GUI is implemented as a set of independent components that interact by referring to

the same network configuration data. These components exchange data on the selection

and modification events.

Modification events

The modification events are generated each time the MO tree is modified. Specific

modification events are also broadcast when data structures such as templates or datasets

are modified. The GUI elements such as panels or menu actions can subscribe to these

notifications.

Current selection

The GUI package also relies on the concept of current selection. The current selection is

handled through the exchange of selection events.

The selection can apply to any of the following objects:

• Workorder

• Template

• Set of managed objects

The selection is exclusive, that is, the selection of an element replaces the previous

selection.

This event-based selection mechanism allows any GUI element to be either a selection

source, a selection listener, or both. For instance, a menu action can select an element. A

menu action can listen to the selection of specific elements to turn itself enabled or

disabled.

Issue 3 March 2014

Feature specific services

WPS provides feature-specific services with the relevant mechanisms or the templates

and the datasets.

The templates, datasets, and checks are implemented on top of the basic services and

follow the same model and GUI mechanism.

Templates

A template is associated to a Managed Object type. The templates contain a list of default

values for all the type attributes and can be used by the MO instantiation mechanism. This

allows to initialize attribute values for new MOs. The templates can also be used during

the MO lifetime to alter a subset of its attributes.

The template manager maintains the mapping between an object type and all the

associated templates.

Specific modification events are generated in the following cases:

• A template is created.

• A template is deleted.

• A template attribute is modified.

The association between a Managed Object and its original template is not retained within

the tool. In other words, the template assignment feature is not supported in WPS.

Datasets

A dataset is a set of references to managed objects. A dataset manager maintains a list of

all existing datasets.

Specific modification events are generated each time:

• a dataset is created

• a dataset is deleted

• a reference is added to a dataset

• a reference is removed from a dataset

Plug-ins package

WPS is a common platform for the development of network technology-specific services.

WPS for UMTS is based on this platform. These services are implemented using the

following types of components, named plug-ins:

• “Checks plug-in” (p. 2-14)

• “Navigators plug-in” (p. 2-14)

• “Operations plug-in” (p. 2-14)

Checks plug-in

A check performs an audit on a given part of a network configuration. A check can also

generate a report which can help to fix configuration problems.

Semantic check interface

A custom-designed check must comply with the CustomCheck interface. As such, it must

indicate the kind of Managed Object on which it applies.

Navigators plug-in

A navigator performs a crossing of the network configuration tree. With this option, you

can find a target managed object that is logically associated to a source managed object.

Navigators are implemented to provide association-like services when the association is

not described in the network configuration model.

Navigator interface

A couple (source/target) of Managed Object types identify the navigators. As such, a

custom-designed navigator must comply to the CustomNavigator interface.

A navigator provides the following information:

• the type of the source MOs

• the type of the target MOs towards which the navigation is applied

Operations plug-in

An operation performs a set of modifications on the network configuration data. The user

can fine-tune the set of parameters.

Operation interface

A typical operation involves the following two components:

• a model part, which is closely related to the network configuration data

• a panel or the GUI part

General principles


Plug-ins package

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................





Issue 3 March 2014

The two parts interact by exchanging a list of parameters. This list contains the parameter

values specified by the user. The typical interaction between an operation and its

associated panel consists of the following phases:

1. Create the list of parameters

The operation is invoked on a given MO. According to the information found on the

MO and its neighborhood, the operation builds a list of parameters. For each

parameter, the following attributes are specified:

• the name

• the type

For instance, an enumeration of the following values: true, false, or unknown.

• the default value

For instance, False. This value is typically computed from the information found

in the MO and represents an abstraction of the current network configuration.

2. Check the list of parameters

When the user changes the parameter values, the operation may check the consistency

of these parameters. Eventually, the inconsistent parameters are tagged as erroneous.

3. Run operation

When the operation has approved the parameter list, the panel can invoke the

execution of the operation. The network configuration is updated during this phase

only.

A standard operation panel is provided with the tool. However, it is possible to implement

a specific panel for a given operation. This may be implemented if specific graphical

representations are needed.

Workspace

Overview

The workspace defines the current planning view. The workspace contains all the data

that can be managed within the application:

• Network MOI

• Template MOI

• Workorders

• Datasets

• Check sessions

• Audit sessions

• Key masks

• Audit profiles

• Template masks

The network objects (displayed from the Network tab) are a part of the workspace.

The workspace consists of:

• An initial network view (initial snapshot)

• Workorders

• Templates

• Datasets

• Check sessions

The main window banner displays the loaded workspace.

WPS allows the user to perform the following operations on a workspace:

• Create a new empty workspace. A new empty workorder is automatically created on

creating the workspace. For more information, see “Creating a new workspace”

(p. 4-6).

• Open a workspace. For more information, see “Opening a workspace” (p. 4-7).

• Save a workspace. For more information, see “Saving a workspace” (p. 4-8).

Network state

The workspace is related to the network states.

The network state refers to the set of network MOIs that can be accessed at a given time

during the provisioning process. The application distinguishes two specific network

states:

• The base state, related to the initial state of the workspace.

• The current state, related to all modifications performed on the base state.

The transition between the base state and the current state is stored in the workspace as

workorders.

The base state can either be empty (contains no MOI) or created from an imported

network snapshot.

Once modified, the base state can no longer be browsed within the application. Only the

current state is made available to the user.

Issue 3 March 2014

Synchronization

Synchronization deals with the modification of the base state of the workspace. Two cases

of synchronization are taken into account:

• Modification of the base state without change of the current state (synchronization

with priority on current state).

• Modification of the base state without change of the workorders of the current

workspace (synchronization with priority on workorders).

Network state recomputation

The current network state can be recomputed according to structure changes performed

on the current workspace.

These structure changes can be the following:

• Synchronization

• Modification of the workorder sequence related to the workspace

• Deletion of one or several workorders

• Selection of the current workorder

The recomputation is based on the execution on the base network state of all the

workorders defined until the current workorder.

Recomputation calculates the current network state by applying on the base network state

the set of workorders until the current workorder.

Dynamic behavior

WPS GUI

The WPS GUI consists of independent components, which interact by referring to the

same network configuration data and by exchanging the selection and modification

events.

Behavior

The commands are enabled based on the type of object selected. The working parts, such

as wizards and operations, are displayed based on the type of MOIs selected. The

information is displayed based on the ongoing modification of the selected MOI.

Object editor

Overview

The object editor allows the user to view and modify the attributes of each MOI (Network

MOI, template, MOI of a dataset). Edition is provided for basic configuration of all the

different types of managed objects.

The following tree views are available for the MOIs in the instance browser:

• Network tree

• Template tree

• Dataset tree

The instance browser automatically updates the object editor.

From the object editor, the user can perform the following actions:

• View information on a selected parameter

• Sort attributes by MOI, parameter name, or value. Sorting allows modification and

comparison of attribute values.

Global update

The global update enables to modify the parameter values of a set of MOIs. The MOIs

must be of the same type and same version.

The set of MOIs must be selected in an instance browser from any of the following tree

views:

• Network tree

• Template tree

• Dataset tree

The object editor part related to these MOIs is automatically updated.

Object editor GUI

For information on the Object editor GUI, see the following sections:

• “Object editor: Overview” (p. 3-64)

• “Object editor: Edition” (p. 3-68)

Template selection at component creation

When a component is created from the object editor, you can select a template. When

WPS prompts you to select the template, the default template is proposed.

(Network MOI or the MOI of a dataset) of the same type (object class).

The tabular editor is displayed on selecting an MOI in the instance browser. All the

instances of the selected type are displayed within the tabular editor.

The tabular editor allows you to perform the following actions:

• Modify the parameter values for a set of MOIs

• View information on a selected parameter

• Highlight differences between default model values or template values and cell values

within the tabular editor

• Use the tabular editor functions

• Delete and create a large number of objects in bulk (with import of tables)

• Filter a table by the cell values. This is achieved from a contextual menu in the header

column or directly from a cell.

• Sort a table by the cell values

• Export the content of a table. The table can be exported as an HTML file.

Workorders

The workorders define the evolution of the initial configuration. The workorders

constitute a sequence of elementary provisioning operations, from a single NE attribute

modification to network-wide bulk configurations.

Multiple workorders can be created to define the configuration operations and several

workorders can be merged to define wide transitions.

The example scenarios for the workorder definition are as follows:

• Creation of objects and MOIs

• Updates to objects and MOIs

• Deletion of MOIs and objects

The workorders are saved as XWO files with the following information:

• workorder name: Indicates the name of the workorder

• originator: Indicates the origin of the workorder

• description: Provides a description of the workorder

• appName: Indicates the system that generated the workorder, for example, WMS or

WPS.

• appRelease: Indicates the application version of the system that generated the

workorder, for example WPS version 2.0

• sessionID: Indicates the host name and IP address of the PC, server, ROC, or the

OAM server that generated the workorder.

• creationDate: Indicates the date of workorder creation.

• The NE or MOI configuration data.

Note: The CM XML file with the XCM extension also contains information on the

snapshot originating system, application name, application release version, creation

date, and name of the snapshot.

The following operations are applicable for the workorders:

• Create a new workorder within a workspace.

• Delete a workorder - Deleting a workorder allows you to return to the previous

network state.

• Import a workorder

• Export a workorder

• Create a workorder based on the reference workorder

• Modify the workorder properties

The Workorders menu bar also allows the following actions:

• Create a new workorder

• Import a workorder

• Show the current workorder

For more information on the Workorders menu commands, see “Workorders” (p. 3-15).

For information on managing workorders, see “Workorder management” (p. 4-70).

Inhibiting configuration changes

The MOI configuration changes in a workorder can be withheld or inhibited. WPS does

not apply an inhibited change to the network.

For attribute value changes, the inhibition status can be true or false.

For MOI changes, the following states are applicable:

• True - All changes are inhibited

• False - No change inhibited

• Partial - Some attribute changes inhibited

Inhibited changes are not exported in the XML workorder during the export operation.

For more information on the menu commands for inhibition, see “Workorder editor

panel” (p. 3-78).

Cloning workorders

The WPS provides the option to define reference workorders and reuse the reference

workorders with the required modifications. The reference workorders can be exported

with the references files, imported into WPS with the required modifications, and applied

to the Network.

The inputs for the workorder cloning operations are as follows:

• A reference workorder

• A bulk file containing the values of attributes and keys

Note: The workorder cloning feature is available with the WPS_V3_Desktop_

WCDMA_ Advanced license.

Issue 3 March 2014

Templates

Overview

With the template instances feature, the WPS provides the ability to define and use a set

of recommended values during the MOI definition.

The template instances store a set of attributes with values, in a structure aligned with the

Resource Model. Attributes that have values within a template are initialized at object

creation. This initialization uses the model initial value and additional sources such as

operations, CM XML interface, and GUI.

The template carries only the recommended values. Attributes with no value within the

template are assigned default values from the initial value of the Resource model.

The WPS allows you to define a recommended value similar to the model initial value.

General information on the templates

The following topics provide more information on templates:

• “Template identification” (p. 2-34)

• “Template tree” (p. 2-34)

• “Default template” (p. 2-34)

• “Source of template instance and attribute” (p. 2-35)

• “Default template source” (p. 2-35)

• “Implicit templates” (p. 2-35)

• “Template backward compatibility” (p. 2-34)

• “Template distillation mechanism” (p. 2-34)

• “Template migration” (p. 2-33)

• “WPS partial template import and export” (p. 2-33)

Template migration

The WPS template migration allows the user to automatically migrate a template from

release N into release N+1. The customized changes are preserved during migration.

For the GUI related to the template migration, see “Migrate” (p. 3-25) in the Templates

menu.

WPS partial template import and export

The WPS template format evolves. Templates are reduced to values differing from model

default values. Templates therefore focus on explicitly recommended values.

The source field provides information on the origin of each template value.

Template distillation mechanism

WPS provides a distillation mechanism. After the template import, the template values

are compared to the model default values. If the values match, the parameter is removed

from the template. The distillation mechanism restricts the templates to the relevant

menu.

Template backward compatibility

WPS supports backward compatibility for templates managed by previous and the current

versions of WPS. The templates can be directly loaded to a later version of WPS if the

release supports the template version.

Template identification

Several template instances can be defined for the same object type or version. Templates

are identified by:

• A name, allocated by the Template originator

• The object type they deal with

• The name of the associated model (name of the model provided with the domain

specific plug-in)

• Version

The name is used to select the Template instances throughout the application. It must

contain indication on its context of use.

Template tree

Templates can define a substructure that maps the network resource model. Such

templates are called template trees.

When creating an object instance from a template tree, the recommended values of the

template are propagated on the root MOI. The template substructure of the children and

the associated recommended values are reproduced on the MOI.

Default template

You can set a template instance as default template for a specific object type and version.

Note: Do not set the template instance, which is used for creating an MOI, as the

default template.

For every object type and version, only one default template instance can be defined.

Issue 3 March 2014

Source of template instance and attribute

A source is associated to each template instance and to each valued template attribute.

This source indicates the organization that originated the recommended value.

For attributes not valued in the template, the pseudo source Model is used throughout the

GUI.

For recommended values provided by Alcatel-Lucent, the source takes values among

RD_reserved_nt and eng_reserved_nt. The RD_reserved_nt source indicates that the

end-user must not modify the data. Other sources such as customer for the parameters

listed in the to be filled file.

Default template source

The application maintains a default template source. It is used to automatically initialize

the source while creating or updating templates.

Implicit templates

Implicit templates refer to specific template instances used within the application

operations or wizards. The user can value such templates without modifying their

structure. A specific text file that lists all the implicit templates can be found in the

templates delivered with WPS.

The template name of an implicit template is never displayed in a wizard. The user cannot

select it. The wizards use the implicit templates for the creation or the update of an object.

The operations verify the existence of the implicit templates they refer to, as a

pre-condition of their execution. This protects the application from potential deletion of

implicit templates

Actions on templates

The user can execute the following actions on the templates:

• Create new templates from a selected MOI (instance only or instance and sub-tree)

• Modify the existing templates

• Set a template as the default template to be used during Managed Object (MO)

instantiation and datafill

• Set a template as a non-default template

• Propagate a selected set of template parameters to a selected set of MOIs

• Compare a template with a MOI. Comparison allows the user to propagate parameter

values in a second step.

• Compare two templates of the same class. This function is launched from a contextual

menu, on two templates selected in the template tree. It displays the list of differences

in a tabular form.

WPS external interfaces

Overview

WPS offers CM (Configuration Management) XML interface for import and export

operations. These operations can be launched from a dedicated "Import and Export"

wizard.

XML is an auto-descriptive and extensible language. It has been defined to allow better

interoperability between applications.

CM XML interface for import and export operations

WPS offers CM XML import/export operations.

The CM XML import operations are the following:

• Snapshot import:

– Replace initial snapshot and discard existing workorders

– Merge with planned network

– Replace initial snapshot and keep existing workorders

– Resynchronize the planned configuration with new snapshot

• Template import

• Workorder import

The CM XML export operations are the following:

• Snapshot export

Reverse XML workorder:

Any XML workorder generated in WPS is exported along with the reverse XML

workorder which contains the exact reverse commands. After a workorder execution

on the OAM server, the execution of the corresponding reverse workorder restores the

initial configuration. Reverse XML workorders constitute a Configuration

Management fallback at the OAM level.

• Template export

• Workorder export

• Dataset export

Subsets of the network or lists of objects defined as datasets in WPS can be exported

in XML snapshot format. They are available to other applications (WPS or others).

This brings flexibility and adds new possibilities in the Configuration Management

process.

Tabular export of import/export reports

Import/export reports can be exported in HTML format (in addition to XML). This allows

the user to retrieve a tabulated report with formatting.

Multiuser collaboration

Overview

The introduction of XML format, workorders, and task-oriented wizards enable multiuser

collaboration.

Several users from different functional teams (RF, transmission) can work on relevant

aspects of the provisioning. The corresponding XML workorder containing individual

updates to the configuration data can be shared in a common workspace repository, to

allow access to multiple users.

Uploading the workorder into another WPS automatically completes the corresponding

instance. The two WPS applications containing the same reference snapshot can also be

stored in the repository.

WPS data sharing

Overview

The WPS data sharing allows several users to work simultaneously on the common

configuration data.

The individual updates can be updated locally within WPS or the configuration data

updates can be shared in a common workspace repository that allows access to multiple

users. Several users can collaborate simultaneously on a common project, by using a

common workspace repository.

Figure 2-8, “WPS data sharing principle” (p. 2-48) illustrates the WPS data sharing

principles.

For more information on data sharing GUI commands, see “Sharing” (p. 3-38).

For the procedures related to the data sharing, see “Data sharing management” (p. 4-32).

WPS data sharing concepts

The WPS data sharing uses the following concepts:

• “Resources” (p. 2-49)

• “Workspace repository” (p. 2-49)

• “Synchronization status” (p. 2-49)

Resources

The WPS data sharing model organizes the data in individual units, called resources. The

resources define the minimum granularity for sharing operations.

The WPS supports the following types of resources:

• Workorder

• Initial snapshot

The WPS attaches a version number to each shared resource.

Workspace repository

The workspace repository stores and manages all the data sharing resources.

Within the workspace repository, the resources are arranged in shared workspaces. Each

shared workspace can support a collaborative team, with the following capabilities:

• A shared workspace can be accessed simultaneously by several users.

• Several shared workspaces can be declared in the workspace repository.

A shared workspace differs from a local workspace (published resource), because of the

following reasons:

• A shared workspace supports a subset of the local workspace data (the published

resources).

• For a shared workspace, the internal format is independent of the WPS binary format,

.wps.

Synchronization status

The synchronization status indicates if the local workspace and the workspace on the

shared repository are synchronized. The synchronization status is indicated through a

specific set of icons.

The WPS also integrates a real-time notification system.

Figure 2-9, “Synchronized workspace” (p. 2-50) and Figure 2-10, “Desynchronized

workspace” (p. 2-50) provide examples for the workspace synchronization status.

Log table

The workspace synchronization status also displays the name of the workspace. On

clicking the name of the shared workspace, a log table is displayed.

The log table shows the actions performed on the shared workspace by the users.

Table 2-1, “Contents of the Log table ” (p. 2-50) lists the contents of a log table.

Table 2-1 Contents of the Log table

Field names Description

Date Indicates the date of the shared workspace change.

Resource Indicates the name of the resource.

The following commands are available from the log table contextual menu:

• Purge: Removes entries from the log.

• Retrieve: Retrieves and synchronizes the workspace partially or completely.

The table also provides the Tabular Editor functions. For more information on tabular

editor, see “Tabular editor capabilities” (p. 3-160).

Resource synchronization status

The resource synchronization status refers to the synchronization state between the local

and shared versions of a shared resource.

Table 2-2, “Resource synchronization status” (p. 2-51) describes the various

synchronization states and provides a list of the corresponding icons in the workorder

tree.

Table 2-2 Resource synchronization status

Icon Status Description

Synchronized Indicates if the resource is aligned

with the workspace repository. All

workspace members can access this

version.

not synchronized on the repository,

other workspace members can

accesses the resource.

Conflict Indicates the concurrent activities on

the local version of the resource and

on its shared counterpart. You must

contact the change originator to

resolve the changes.

Examples for the conflict in the

synchronization status are as follows:

• resource deleted locally and

modified in repository

• resource modified locally and

modified in repository

• resource modified locally and

deleted in repository

Unknown Indicates that the resource

synchronization status is not known.

Verify that the connection parameters

to the shared repository are properly

set and ensure that the repository is

accessible.

Synchronization operations

According to the resource synchronization status, the users can perform several

synchronization operations.

Table 2-3, “Synchronization operations” (p. 2-53) provides a list of synchronization

operations available from the WPS GUI.

Table 2-3 Synchronization operations

Operations Description

Publish resource Creates a new shared resource or updates its

shared version according to the local version. The

operation is available only when the local and

shared versions are synchronized.

Retrieve resource Creates or updates the local version of a shared

resource according to its definition in the

repository.

Synchronize workspace Automatically synchronizes resources by running

the required publish and retrieve operations. The

operation is available if the resources are not in a

conflict status.

Overwrite resource Forces the publication of a resource even if a

conflict is detected.

For a WPS session, an active connection with the repository is not mandatory. The

connection can be initiated and released for each individual synchronization operation.

Data sharing deployment

The data sharing environment contains the following entities:

• One or several WPS applications

• Live server workspace repository

• HTTP or HTTPS servers used for the file transfer between the WPS and live server

repository

• One authentication server

The primary main server with the WMS application is required for this deployment.

The data sharing uses the Apache server part of the WMS for the HTTP or HTTPS file

transfer and as a gateway towards the authentication server.

Data sharing integration with the WMS

The integration of WPS data sharing within WMS requires the following operations:

• Deployment of the workspace repository in the WMS main server

• Use of the WMS Apache part as the HTTP or HTTPS server and gateway towards the

WMS authentication system

• Transparent file transfer between the WPS and WMS activation system

Note: The WPS supports secure HTTPS connections for file transfer. Based on the

WMS configuration, the WPS automatically selects the required access method, either

HTTP or HTTPS, for data exchange with the WMS live server.

The WPS supports multiple sessions with several servers simultaneously.

Issue 3 March 2014

Using the following types of shared workspace directories, the users can exchange

workorders or snapshots between the WPS and WMS applications:

• Shared workorder directory

The WPS uses the shared workorder directory for workorder import and export and

the WMS uses the shared workorder directory as a default repository for the

workorder activation.

The shared workorder directory is available at /opt/nortel/data/workspacerepository.

• Shared snapshot directory

The WPS uses the shared snapshot directory for remote snapshot import and the

WMS uses the shared snapshot directory for a scheduled snapshot export.

The shared snapshot directory is available at /opt/nortel/data/sheduledExport.

To use a shared workspace repository, the WPS must establish connection with the live

server. For more information establishing connections with the live server repository, see

“Setting or changing connection parameters” (p. 4-33).

Bulk provisioning in tabular editor

Overview

The WPS tabular editor allows users to copy or paste data in the tabular format from an

external application into the Object editor. The tabular editor supports the creation,

edition, and deletion of the objects and MOIs.

The following operations are available from the contextual menu for the tabular editor:

• Create or update using clipboard data

• Delete instances using clipboard data

Attention: The Bulk provisioning interface must be limited to minimal configuration

data. This interface is not intended to replace the CM XML interface, which is the

standard interface for data exchange.

Tabulated input file format

The copy or paste operation is based on column name matching. The column headers in

the input file must have the same syntax as the tabular editor. The columns that do not

match are ignored.

However, columns can be arranged in any order. The input file is valid if all identifiers are

present. The missing parameters can be derived from the default template.

From a selected workorder, the user can decide to set it as the current one. This function

will re-compute all the network from the initial snapshot to the selected workorder. All

the following workorders will not be taken into account (these workorders will be

displayed in gray color).

The user can inhibit (or disinhibit) changes on a workorder. The workspace can be then

de-synchronized. This means that the current planning view (the network tree) is not the

exact result of the execution of the workorders on the initial snapshot. The planning view

must be re-computed.

Importing network snapshots

Purpose

The purpose of this section is to describe the procedure for importing a snapshot in the

CM XML format through the Import and Export wizard.

Note: WPS supports import of snapshots in the .XML, .XCM, .ZIP and .GZ file

formats.

Steps to import a snapshot

• Replace initial snapshot and discard the existing workorders

Select this option to create a new snapshot view and remove the existing workorders

if any.

• Merge with planned network

Select this option to merge a network snapshot with the existing network.

After the import operation is completed, the WPS workspace includes the initial

snapshot, the previous workorders, and the newly added network objects. The base

network configuration is computed with all the workorders.

• Replace initial snapshot and keep existing workorders

Select this option to create the initial snapshot view with the existing workorders.

Rebasing a network with priority on workorders recomputes the current network

based on a new initial snapshot, but keeps the existing workorders.

• Resynchronize the planned configuration with new snapshot

Select this option to resynchronize a network with a new reference snapshot .

During the network resynchronization, a new workorder is created and the existing

workorders are removed.

• Delete with planned network

Select this option to delete a network.

Overview

Purpose

A template is a particular kind of object dedicated to the management of values likely to

be shared among several objects. It is used during the instantiation of Managed Objects to

minimize the number of parameters to be manually initialized by the user. See the

“Templates” (p. 3-19) chapter.

Templates are used when:

• creating a network object

• running a wizard

• comparing network objects

Templates files extension is <filename>.xtpl.

Purpose

This procedure describes how to import a configuration file and replace the initial

snapshot with new network snapshot.

When the initial snapshot is replaced by the new snapshot, all workorders associated with

the initial snapshot are discarded from the current workspace.

Customer type parameters

You can modify only the parameters that are standard or restricted for a specific network.

WPS ignores the manufacturer parameters during the import, but generates an error report

after the import is completed.

Attention: Alcatel-Lucent does not recommend the modification of restricted

parameters.

Before you begin

Before you begin, perform the following checks

• Open any <filename>.xcm with an XML editor and note the name of the Main Server.

For example, Cluster id="UMAINSERV1". Ensure that the name of the Main Server

displayed in WPS is the same as the Main Server mentioned in the CM XML file.

• From the WPS main window, select the Network tab and check if the Cluster/Name

of the Main Server is the same as the Cluster id in the <file name>.xcm file.

Exporting multiple workorders

Purpose

This procedure describes how to export workorders in the CM XML format as an xwo

file.

Note: Alcatel-Lucent recommends that you export only a single workorder at a time.

When exporting a single workorder, the WPS application generates a reverse

workorder file. When the activation of a workorder leads to a configuration error in

the live network, you can use the reverse workorder to troubleshoot, or to set the

network back to its initial state.

Before you begin

Before you begin, perform the following checks:

• WPS checks are run and errors, if any, are resolved.

• If the workorder must be exported to a live server repository, ensure that all relevant

workorders are merged into single workorder.

Checks management

Overview

Purpose

The WPS tool allows running checks on network objects or datasets to ensure consistency

in the current network configuration data.

The WPS provides several sets of checks, which can be launched together or separately,

on the MOIs from the Network or the Datasets tab. The subsets of checks can be

customized and run as Check profiles on the selected MOIs.

Alcatel-Lucent recommends the following for WPS checks:

• Run checks before exporting the workorders to the live server repository for

activation.

• Exercise caution while modifying or resolving check errors with the AutoFix option.

Creating a network object

Purpose

This procedure describes how to create a new MOI.

Prior to this procedure, Alcatel-Lucent recommends setting the proper default template in

order to minimize the MOI customizing (See “Setting template as default” (p. 4-59)). If

you have not set a template as default, the new MOI is created with the default values of

the model.

Procedure

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 From the WPS main window, select the Network tab (see “Network tab” (p. 3-48)).

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 From the network tree, select an element where a MOI has to be added.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 From the “Object editor: Edition” (p. 3-68), select the appropriate MO to be created.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Fill in the requested parameter value (the user label or the MO ID) and select the template

model to be applied.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Click the Create button.

Result: The new MOI appears under the selected network element.

Note:

• While creating a small cell object, you must specify a value for either longitude or

latitude. If no value is specified for longitude or latitude parameter, the small cell

object will not be created under FemtoNetwork.

• While creating a small cell group, you must specify a name for the Small Cell

Group. The relevant attribute for Small Cell Group name is groupname. This helps

in identifying the Small Cell group with the group name for sorting purpose.

Customizing IPC data with WPS

Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to perform initial configuration of IPC and define values

for the Managed Object (MO) attributes.

Before you begin

The following prerequisites must be met to carry out this procedure successfully:

• IPC is set with Day1 data (delivered as part of the IPC software).

• The Day1 data is available on the local directory as the db_walk.dump file.

For more information on db_walk.dump file generation, see “Generating db_walk dump

file at IPC” (p. 5-13).

To customize IPC data

Follow these steps to customize MO attributes of IPC.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 From the WPS main window, click the Network tab and then click Edition.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 From the Object creation:create drop-down, select IPC and specify the user label for

the object. Click Create.

Result: The IPC object will be created and added to the workspace.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

3 To customize IPC object attributes, select IPC from the WPS tree view.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

4 Select the object type LIPC and the instance, and then click Create.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 To import the db_walk.dump file content, click Load IPC Snapshot file.




....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................



Issue 3 March 2014



5-19

Result: The Load IPC snapshot file option, when executed by importing the

db_walk.dump file, replaces the initial snapshot, keeps all current workorders, creates

a new delta workorder and a new empty workorder for WPS to record the

configuration updates.

Note:

• The delta workorder created during the process contains the Day1 data already

present in the IPC, therefore it cannot be translated into an executable CLI script.

• The configuration changes done after the Day1 data import are recorded in the

empty workorder, which can be translated into an executable CLI.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

6 Update the IPC configuration data by adding or deleting objects, and modifying

parameters.

Note: You must define parameters for the mandatory objects such as IuPS and IuCS.

Copying configuration data from another IPC

Purpose

The purpose of this procedure is to compare configuration data of one IPC (Day-one data)

with an other IPC (pre-configured data) by using WPS.

The Compare objects feature in WPS allows users to compare the configuration data of

two IPC object instances and copy the required configuration from one IPC to another.

Before you begin

To complete this procedure successfully, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:

• The IPC object instances are created with different user labels in WPS.

• A db_walk.dump file with the Day1 data is available on your local directory.

• A db_walk.dump file, which contains the IPC configuration data you intend to use for

configuring another IPC, is available on your local directory.

For more information on generating the db_walk.dump file, see “Generating db_walk

dump file at IPC” (p. 5-13).

To modify IPC with the configuration data of another IPC

Follow these steps to compare the configuration data of two IPCs.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 Load the db_walk.dump file with Day1 data to WPS. To import the content from the file,

click Load IPC snapshot file at one selected LIPC, for example, IPC/1, LIPC/1.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

2 Load the db_walk.dump file with the configuration information into WPS. To import the

content from the file, click Load IPC snapshot file at another selected LIPC, for example,

IPC/2, LIPC/1.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Reparenting a Small Cell

Purpose

Use this procedure to reparent small cells to a Small Cell cluster.

Before you begin

To perform reparenting operations on a small cell successfully, ensure that the following

prerequisites are met:

• The FemtoCluster instance and the Femto objects are created with appropriate values

and user labels in WPS.

• All the required configuration files such as bulk CM are loaded into WPS.

To reparent a small cell

Follow these steps to reparent a small cell:

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

1 From the WPS workspace, click the small cell object you want to reparent.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ensure that the attributes assigned to FemtoCluster objects are unique. For example, each

small cell must have a unique ID. When a Femtocluster is created or modified with a

manual BSRID, the WPS checks to see if the manual BSRID value provided is not listed

in the notAllowedBsrIds. If it is listed, then WPS displays an error message indicating

that the manual value provided is blocked from being assigned to any femto.

Note: All attributes except Target bsr Id are mandatory. If there is no value assigned

to the Target bsr Id attribute, the bsrId for the small cell will not be set. Therefore,

ensure that you set this attribute with an appropriate value or the default value.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................

5 Click OK.

Result: The small cell will be reparented to the specified target Small Cell group or

cluster, and the configuration data will be updated with the new values.

network.

WAN Wide Area Network

A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a geographical dispersed long-haul

telecommunications network usually made up of backbone links.

The term distinguishes a broader telecommunication structure from

a Local Area Network. A WAN may be privately owned or rented,

but the term usually connotes the inclusion of public networks that

are highly regulated and provide superior reliability and resilience.

WAP Wireless Access Protocol

Wireless Application Protocol is the current standard for providing

Internet communications on digital mobile phones, personal digital

assistants and other wireless terminals.
