Data Availability definitions

If a technology pack contains Data Availability definitions, these definitions are contained in an XML file.

Location

This file contains information about the technology pack, and a list of blocks of data that is loaded for that technology pack.

If the value of the block is set to true, that is, <block name="ATMUSAGE">true</block>, then after the file is loaded the loader starts producing Data Availability (DA) statistics every time it loads a block of ATMUSAGE data.

Note: This file is intended to be user-customized: you can switch blocks on or off. It is important to realize that blocks, which are tracked take twice as long to load as blocks that are not. Only high-level entities (MSC, BSC, ...) must be tracked, but not low-level entities (TRX, ...).

The Data Availability definition file for each technology pack is:

<TP_ROOT>/loadmaps/dataavailability/dataavailability<techpack_name>.xml

You can provision data availability definitions by using the lcm_admin tool. The lcm_admin tool is in:

$WMCROOT/bin

You can run the lcm_admin tool from any directory as user virtuo.

Usage

The full usage of the tool is not documented here. Only usage relevant to provisioning a definition file is shown.

lcm_admin -load <data_availability.xml>

lcm_admin -load dataavailability_umts_siemens_utran_umr050_1.0.0.0.xml
