1 Introduction
The following document contains a list of all the required information and data to be collected
on Huawei UMTS infrastructures in preparation for the installation of the Mentor optimization
tool.
The information and data required includes the following:
Network configuration (described in detail in section 3)
o Schema Format
o Network Topology file (MML)
o Network Preferences
Huawei logs and stats (described in detail in section 4)
o CHR logs
o PMs
When preparing to set up Mentor in a network, it is usually recommended to start by creating
the network configuration, followed by a sample data collection.
Section 2 outlines a “setup checklist”, which should be used as a first step to facilitate
efficient installation and configuration.
The following sections of this document provide a more in-depth description of the required
data sources, and the manner in which they can be obtained.
3.1.1.1.1 Using the LMT Tool to Schedule Subtasks that Generate INNER Configuration MML Scripts
1. In the LMT tool, execute the command ADD SUBTSK in the Command Input
field.
2. Enter the information in the relevant fields. Note that fields in red are
mandatory, and must be filled in.
a. In the Command String field, enter EXP INNERCFGMML to execute
the MML script.
b. Choose the start date
c. Choose the time mode - DAILY_T (day_based_scheduling)
d. Choose the execute time – the time when the MML script is generated.
3. You can also run a command through a batch file:
ADD SUBTSK: ID=1, TSKN="INNERMML", SUBID=1, ENF=ENABLED, SCMD="EXP
INNERCFGMML", FREQ=DAILY_T, SD=2009&02&19, RFT=1;
1. In the LMT tool, execute the command EXP INNERCFGMML in the Command
Input field.
2. Enter the path in which to store the MML file in the Export file path field. If you
do not enter a value, the default value is used: BAM/Version/FTP
3. Enter a name for the exported file in the Export file name field. The following
name should be used: INNERCFGMML-20090212120000.txt
3.1.2 Antenna and Sectors Physical Location, Profiles, and Parameters in Delimited Format
The physical parameters of the network, such as the sector and antenna location, and the
antenna profiles, might not be available through the configuration dump.
Most of the required physical configuration of the network can be derived from network
planning tools or from customer-self-maintained databases with the most updated network
configuration.
Mentor defines a set of textual files that should be available. These files are:
Antenna file - includes the physical configuration of each sector. See section 3.1.2.1 below
for the file format.
Antenna profiles – antenna-pattern data files
Mentor also requires an updated Terrain file
In contrast to planning tools or other configuration sources, Mentor requires only active sector-
carriers. Sectors that are inactive during an analyzed period should be marked as “inactive” in
the antenna files.
All soft parameters may be defined in this file, but will be overridden by the Network Topology
files. It is recommended that the latest Network Topology files be used to update the Schema
Format file and to identify any inconsistencies, such as missing or unnecessary sectors.
From Huawei R10, the CHRs are generated automatically and stored under the BAM in the
following path:
- /BAM/VersionA/LoadData/FamLofFmt
From Huawei R12, collect UPCHR or PCHR log files instead of CHRs; they are generated
automatically and stored under the BAM in the following path:
- /BAM/VersionA/LoadData/FamLofFmt
Or
- /bam/common/fam/famlogfmt/

In the Extended Parameters tab, select which table of counters you would like
to export and move them to the right-hand pane.
5. In the Common Parameters tab (which shows the task information), keep the
default parameters.
2. Select the tables you want to activate. The following tables must be activated:
i. Measurement between a cell and a neighbor interIRAT cell
ii. Measurement between a cell and a neighbor UMTS cell
iii. Measurement of Radio Cell Performance
iv. Measurement of RNC performance
3. In the Period area, select 30 Minutes.
4. Click OK, and then select the Measurement Settings tab.
1. After selecting NodeB in the Measure Management tab, right-click the list of tables
and select Active Measurement, as shown in Figure 8. The Active dialog box is
displayed, as shown in Figure 9.
2. Select the tables you want to activate. The following tables must be activated:
i. HSDPA measurements per local cell – 50331648
ii. Traffic measurements per local cell - 50331650
iii. IUB measurements per NodeB - 50331649
iv. HSUPA measurements per local cell - 50331651
3. In the Period area, select 30 Minutes.
4. Click OK, and then select the Measurement Settings tab.
5. Enable all the counters.
All counters will be generated every 30 minutes and will be stored under the RNC in
the following path:
/export/home/omc/var/fileint/pm/
Or
/export/home/omc/var/fileint/pmneexport
