1.0 System Overview


1.1.

Introduction to Xeus Pro 5


InfoVistas Xeus Pro 5 is a mobile network Geographical Information System (GIS) Optimization software
expert system capable of analyzing and identifying the common root causes of drop calls, block calls and
low quality in the network from the perspective of the radio network. Xeus Pro 5 combines exceptional
visualization capabilities with advance drive test and traffic measurement recording analysis, including
statistics import, plotting and charting. In all, Xeus Pro 5 is a smart solution for the day-to-day use of RF
Optimization Engineers needing an engineering analysis platform to handles multiple data sources.

Xeus Pro 5 also has the ability to synchronize with the InfoVistas backend server solution, Xeda, which
utomates data collection, analysis and reports as across Configuration Management (CM), Fault
Management (FM) and Performance Management (PM) data-sources.

2.0 Task Manager


The Task Manager allows the managing of parsing tasks and the scheduling of FTP parsing for log files
that are stored in a remote server. Currently, the Task Manager feature is available in modules such as
Drive Test, Ericsson GPEH & LTE Call Trace, Huawei CHR & LTE Call Trace, Nokia Megamon, and ZTE
WCDMA CTS & WCDMA LTE CTS.

3.0 Task Automation Module (TAM)


Task Automation Module (TAM) is a combination of the Task Manager and an 'automate' feature inside
the Task Manager. TAM presents a simplified and faster solution for daily monitoring of multiple RNCs in
a mobile network by allowing the user to schedule FTP and automate the parsing of logs which are
stored in the OSS. An assigned administrator will have to configure the FTP access and the Task
Automation Module (TAM) will automatically fetch the logs from the OSS/RNC and process them.

The result of the processing will be a separate traffic recording database attached to the project based
on the running date. The user can analyze the result directly at the workstation or by remote access
using Remote Desktop and also copy the output data set to his/her local PC and attach it to his/ her local
project. The administrator is responsible to ensure the workstation has sufficient hard disk space to
prevent any failure of processing. A separate license is required to activate the Task Automation Module
(TAM) functionality.

You have the option to let TAM automatically send out alarms via emails to the support team or
personnel should there be any task parsing errors. The alarm settings can simply be set on a
configuration screen.

3.6 Specifying temporary directory for task parsing files


It is essential to have sufficient large disk space for successful task parsing.
We may use the default temporary directory at c:\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp but sometimes the drive
space is just not big enough for the task. For instance, a 24-hour data, the space consumption can go as high as
10GB.
Therefore, you are provided with the option to set a temporary directory on another drive with sufficient space,
for example: drive D, E etc. to ensure optimal task parsing.

Some notes for using the default or user-defined temporary directory


1. Using default directory Windows will automatically clear the directory after 7 days but again, you are
limited to the drive space being set.
2. Using user-defined directory You can choose an alternative path with sufficiently big space. TAM will
automatically delete the temporary directory immediately after finishing parsing. However, if this fails
which could sometimes happen, you are required to manually delete the temporary directory.

InfoVista Confidential - Copyright 2015 InfoVista S.A. All rights reserved.

41

Task Manager & Task Automation Module Quick Guide

Simple steps to set up a temporary directory

Click Option at the main menu.


Click Browse at the next screen that appears to select/create the path of the temporary directory.
The default directory will be used if you choose to select nothing.
Click Close to finish and exit.

5.0 Task Automation Module Issues


Issues

Description
1. When parsing the network file in a project, Xeus will delete the
CELL.tab file, which is required when opening the project.

Issue description - Redraw Network automatically


in TAM
Redraw Network automatically in TAM when
importing network dump files

2. This leads to Map Info asking for the CELL.tab file when opening the
project. The user can click on the Cancel button and a pop-up message
"Xeus encountered an error while opening the project" is displayed.
3. Xeus will then force the redrawing of the network.

Latest installion will delete previous TASKS.xml


file
If the user installs the latest release of Xeus Pro
5, the tasks.xml file will be created as a new file. It
should copy the file from the previous folder.
However, Xeus Pro 2012 tasks.xml is not deleted.

1. Copy "aexio_tasks.xml" from Xeus Pro 2012 after installing Xeus Pro 5.
2. Copy to 'User Setting' folder.
Example: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application
Data\InfoVIsta\Xeus Pro.

Failed to parse if using Run Now button


If using Run Now button, an error message is
displayed: There is no valid file.

1. On TAM, create a schedule and click the Run Now button.

TAM not scheduled into Task Manager


Some tasks are not being scheduled into Task
Manager

1. Change the date manually and the schedule tasks will then run
properly.

Duration for TAM Relative Time issue


TAM Relative Time - end time cannot be the
same as the start time. If the schedule runs at 5pm
and the start time for the relative time duration is
10 minutes whereas the end time for the relative
time duration is also 10 minutes, and the files with
date modified as 4.50pm - 4.50pm, Xeus TAM will
not get any files in that range.
If the start time for the relative time duration is
10 minutes whereas the end time for the relative
time duration is 5 minutes and the files with date
modified as 4.50pm - 4.55pm, Xeus TAM is then
able to grab files in between the duration.

1. TAM Relative Time - end time cannot be the same as the start time. If
the schedule runs at 5pm and the start time for the relative time
duration is 10 minutes whereas the end time for the relative time
duration is 10 minutes and the files with date modified as 4.50pm 4.50pm, Xeus TAM will not get any files in that range.
2. If the start time for the relative time duration is 10 minutes whereas
the end time for the relative time duration is 5 minutes and the files with
date modified as 4.50pm - 4.55pm, Xeus TAM is then able to grab files in
between the duration.
