  15. Load File Format • Text files, one file per Object Type • Line oriented • Values on the same line separated by commas • STS can generate Format Files used for import of Load Files into a database such as Sybase or Oracle • STS ships with predefined Format Definition Files for Sybase and Oracle databases • File format documentation available on STS web pageshttp://ccnd.ericsson.se/prodsupport/axe/sts/ap/support/LF_format_Web_INFO/LF_primus.html • Counter values time stamped using UTC

  21. Counters, DIDs and Object Types • Kinds of Counters in STS • Object Types and Counters • How are DIDs mapped to Object Types? • Possible mappings between DIDs and Object Types • What are DIDs?

  22. Kinds of Counters in STS Peg Counter Status Counter Wrap around Time

  23. Object Types and Counters • Object types represents logical concepts within switch • CP, BSC, MSC, Cell, Route, … • Object types • Located on APG40 • Contains counters • Comparable with classes in for instance C++ or Java • Populated with counter values

PAGETOOOLD • What are DIDs (Data Interface Descriptions)? • How are DIDs mapped to Object Types? • What is a ”cell pointer”?

  28. What are DIDs (Data Interface Descriptions)? • Located on CP • Two kinds of DIDs • Ordinary DIDs • Translation DIDs (Translation Tables) • Registered in LAVS block via DID-info signals • Interface to access counter data • Could be ”compared” to a Pascal record or a C structure • A number of fields • Each field is associated with a data type • Data types are either scalar values or a file containing scalar values

  32. How are DIDs mapped to Object Types? • STS on the AP initiates all collection of data • From LAVS block on CP and from Gatherer on AP • The stmotd command indirectly controls which DIDs are collected • Translation Table DIDs are collected nightly or on demand due to stmttu command • Mapping between DIDs and Object Types • Done while collecting data • Each Object Type is mapped to at least one DID • Mapping is stored in the parameter file up until BSS R10 • Starting from BSS R11 the mapping is stored as a DLL in a separate CXC
