This operation is optional.

For the GSM8.1, the installed mediation layer
(iManagerM2000_BSC6000_MATCH_CHS_BSC6000V900R008C12) matching the NIC
V100R006C00T provides the SOP collection scenario by default. You do not need to customize the
scenario.
5.3.3 Creating a Collection Task

Step 75 Click the Task Management tab. Select Unfinished Tasks in Navigation Tree, and then
select Based on Scenario from the Create Task drop-down list box in Task List.

Step 76 Set Task Name, and then select a product from the Product Type drop-down list box and a
scenario from the Scenario(Group) drop-down list box.
Task Name: The name of the collection task for inspection or SOP can contain only letters
(az and AZ), numbers (09), and underline (_),the max number of the task name must less
then 27; otherwise, the subsequent automatic import and analysis of the OMStar may fail.
Scenario(Group): Select the SOP collection scenario, namely, BSC6000_SOP.
Task Execution Type: You are advised to select Instant. (If you select Scheduled, you need
to set Task Execution Time.)
Data Collection Time Range: You are advised to collect the data of three to seven days (if
the time range is too large, the collection and analysis efficiency is affected).
Step 77 Select Display by NE type. Select a BSC under the BSC6000 node in Optional NEs, and
then click > to move the selected BSC to Selected NEs. Then, click Next.

During routine inspection and maintenance SOP, you need to select only BSCs. If Display by
Topo structure is selected, when you select a BSC, the BTSs under the selected BSC are also
selected. As a result, the total number of NEs may exceed the upper limit.
Step 78 Click each NEs in the left list, ensure that the parameters of each NE are correct, and then
click Next.

Step 79 Set the additional information such as Name and Email, and then click Next.
Step 80 After ensuring that the collected information is correct, click Finish to start the collection
task.

5.3.4 Viewing the Collection Result
Do not disable the FTP Server of the tool during data collection; otherwise, the collection may fail.
Check whether configuration collection fails. The data analysis of the NE where configuration
collection fails may also fail.
Step 81 During collection, you can view the progress of the whole collection task and the progress and
running status of each NE.

Step 82 The data collection results are saved in installation directory of the NIC\NIC\var\nic\task
ID.
Task IDs are generated randomly, for example, 10002, 10003, 10004, ...
Check whether the task ID folder saves the collection task created by the user based on the
collection task name in the folder.
Step 83 Record the directory for saving the data collection results for the subsequent analysis of the
OMStar in one-key mode.
1. If the online deployment mode is used (that is, the NIC and the OMStar are installed on
the same PC), record only the directory for saving the collected data.
2. If the offline deployment mode is used (that is, the NIC and the OMStar are installed on
different PCs), copy the data in the task ID folder to the PC where the OMStar is
installed, and then record the directory for saving the collected data.
After the collected data is copied to another PC, the directory structure should meet the
following requirements.

6 Using the OMStar
This chapter describes how to implement the automatic data import and analysis and generate
a summary report on the Mini-OMStar in one-key mode. The descriptions about the manual
data import and analysis and other functions of the OMStar are not included in this chapter.
6.1 Introduction to the Mini-OMStar

Mini-OMStar is a plugin of the OMStar, which integrates with the function of data collection
supported by the NIC and the function of data import and analysis supported by the OMStar.
The Mini-OMStar helps in network evaluation and inspection and reduces the time for manual
operation. This document describes only the overview information about the Mini-OMStar.
For details, click Help in the menu bar to see the Help document.
The Mini-OMStar creates a database on disk D to perform a one-key analysis task. If no disk D is
available, handle it by referring to section 8.3.1 "Why Does the Mini-OMStar Fail to Create an
Automatic Analysis Task?"
The language of the Mini-OMStar is English only.

6.2 Starting the Mini-OMStar

Step 84 Choose Microsoft SQL Server > Service Manager.
Step 85 Check that the default SQL Server instance is started properly.

Step 86 Start the Mini-OMStar.
Step 87 Enter the information for login.

SQL Server: indicates the database server used by the OMStar. You can type the information
by referring to the following description:
If the server name is typed in Server in Step 2, you just need to type period (.).
If Server name\instance name is typed in Server in Step 2, you just need to type
".\instance name."
Net type: Select UMTS for BSC6810 and MBSC_UO for BSC6900.

6.3 Creating a One-key Analysis Task

Step 88 Click to create a one-key analysis task.
Step 89 Set the NIC collection information, bind an NIC collection task, and then click Next.

Data Source Path: indicates the root directory for saving data collected by the NIC. After the
NIC is installed, this root directory can be identified automatically. If the NIC is not installed
on the PC, you need to manually specify it. For details, see Step 3 in section Error: Reference
source not found"Error: Reference source not found."
Task Type: indicates the task execution type. Currently, Task Type for the NIC can only be
set to Immediately.
Immediately: indicates that the task is executed immediately. This type of tasks
corresponds to immediate collection tasks or scheduled collection tasks on the NIC.
Period: indicates that the task is executed periodically. This type of tasks corresponds to
periodic tasks on the NIC.
Step 90 Set common parameters for analysis on the OMStar, and then click Next.

Step 91 Select the NE version, set check items and related thresholds, and then click Finish.
Step 92 Right-click a task on the main interface, and then choose Run from the shortcut menu to start
the task. Alternatively, click to start the task.

Step 93 View the task running status and execution process.

Task state: indicates the state of a task. A task can be in one of the following states:
Ready: indicates that the task is ready. You can run, edit, or delete the task.
Running: indicates that the task is running. You can stop this task but cannot edit or
delete it. Note that you can start multiple tasks at the same time but only one task can be
in the running state at a time.
Stopping: indicates that the task is being stopped. You cannot run, edit, or delete the
task.

If the online deployment is used (the NIC and the OMStar are installed on a PC): After the
task on the NIC is started, you can start a one-key analysis task even if the data collection is
not complete. The Mini-OMStar periodically detects the data integrity and implements the
automatic analysis after the data collection is complete.
If the offline deployment is used (the NIC and the OMStar are installed on different PCs):
After the collection task is executed completely, the data corresponding to the task ID can be
copied to the PC where the OMStar is installed. For details, see Step 3 in section Error:
Reference source not found"Error: Reference source not found."
The Mini-OMStar starts the Transdata automatically, but you need to close the Transdata before the
task is executed.
You can close the Transdata that is started by the Mini-OMStar only if the task is executed
completely.
Step 94 View NE reports generated by the one-key analysis task.

To view a report, do as follows: Select a task in the task list, and then choose Report > View
Report or click the hyperlink in the Report column.

Task name: indicates the name of the executed task that corresponds to reports in the report
list.
Report path: indicates the path for saving reports in the report list.
Open: enables you to navigate to the path for saving reports.
Open report file: enables you to open a report file.
Open report path: enables you to navigate to the path for saving reports.
The report is named in the following format: NE name + Generation time stamp of the report.

8 FAQs
8.1 FAQs Related to the SQL Server

8.1.1 How to Handle the SQL Server Installation Failure?
The cause of most installation failures is that the previously installed SQL Server is
uninstalled incompletely. The following describes some common installation errors. The
handling methods can also be used to uninstall the SQL Server 2000 completely.
1. Files are pending.
This error usually occurs when the SQL Server is uninstalled and then reinstalled.
Solution:
Delete the key value "PendingFileRenameOperation" in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager of
the registry.
2. The installation program fails to configure the server.
Solution:
Cause 1: The previously installed SQL Server 2000 is uninstalled incompletely.
Delete the Microsoft SQL Server folder in C:\Program Files.
Find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server"
in the registry and delete it.
Cause 2: The name of the computer running Windows contains lower-case letters.
The SQL Server 2000 fails to be installed when the name of the computer running
Windows contains some or only lower-case letters, with the prompt of general network
error in the sqlstp.log file.
To solve this problem, change the lower-case letters to upper-case letters. For example,
to change the computer name from jys0800964 to JYS0800964, do as follows:
Open the registry (by running the regedit command in the Run window), find
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrenControlSet\Control\ComputerName\Comp
uterName", and then change the primary key value of 'ComputerName' from jys0800964
to JYS0800964. Then, log out the user or restart the system to make the modification
take effect.
3. The system prompts "command line option syntax error".

The cause of this error is that the name of the directory for saving the source files of the
SQL Server installation package contains Chinese characters. In this case, the SQL
Server can be installed successfully after you click OK, but the OMStar fails to connect
to the database.
Solution:
Ensure that the name of the directory for saving source files of the SQL Server does not
contain any Chinese character.
4. The UI is suspended during installation.
Solution:
The SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition should be installed for Windows XP. Check
whether the SQL Server Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition is installed on Windows
XP (the two editions can be installed only on Windows Server 2000 or Windows Server
2003).
5. The SQL Server fails to be started after the domain password is changed.
Go to Control Panel > Management Tools > Services. In the displayed window, right-
click MSSQLSERVER and select Properties from the shortcut menu. Then, click the
Login tab and change the password to the password of the current domain user.
8.1.2 Can the MSDE 2000 Be Used?

6. The MSDE 2000 is equivalent to a lite edition of SQL Server 2000 with the limited
specification (the performance decreases abruptly when the size of a single table exceeds
2 GB). The MSDE 2000 is not recommended especially when the performance
measurement data collected from a single BSC exceeds 150 MB.
7. If the conditions for installing the SQL Sever 2000 are not met but users can take the low
efficiency risks caused by the MSDE, install the MSDE encapsulated by Genex. The
MSDE can be downloaded from the Web site http://support.huawei.com.
http://support.huawei.com/support/pages/editionctrl/catalog/ShowVersionDetail.do?
actionFlag=getDetail&node=000001423430&colID=ROOTENWEB|CO0000000174
8. The MSDEs of other products may be inapplicable to normal analysis of the OMStar.
8.1.3 Can the SQL Server 2005 Be Used?

The SQL Server 2005 can be installed on Windows Server with standard configuration. It is
not recommended to install the SQL Server 2005 on Windows XP with common
configuration.
8.2 FAQs Related to the NIC

8.2.1 How to Handle the NIC Start Failure?
9. Ensure that the FTP Server is disabled and the default FTP port is not used before
starting the NIC.
The FTP Server ports conflict between the LMT and the NIC. Therefore, disable the FTP
Server before starting the NIC.
10. At present, the ports conflict between the M2000 client and the NIC. Therefore, disable
the M2000 client before starting the NIC.
11. For other causes, send the log information to development engineers for troubleshooting.

8.2.2 How to Handle the Failure of Adding NEs to the NIC?

12. Check whether the user name and password are correct (that is, check whether the login
by using the LMT succeeds).
13. Check whether the IP address in FTP Server Configuration is consistent with the IP
address of the PC.
If the IP addresses are inconsistent, modify them and restart the NIC to make the
modification take effect. (Caution: Restart the NIC program instead of the Internet
Explorer.)
14. Check Mediation layer manager to ensure that mediation layer matching the NEs to
collect data from has been installed.
15. For other causes, send the log information to development engineers for troubleshooting.
8.2.3 The System Prompts "Adaptation layer does not match the C
version of the NE." When the User Adds an NE
16. This error is a kind of NE adding failures. Check whether the mediation layer matching
the NE version is installed.
17. If the mediation layer matching the NE version is installed, the possible cause is that the
NIC of Chinese version has been manually installed with the mediation layer of English
version.
8.2.4 Data Collection Failure Scenarios (Configuration,

Performance Measurement, MML, )
18. If the NIC fails to connect to NEs, check whether the FTP Server of the NIC is disabled.
Do not disable the FTP Server during startup or running of the NIC.
19. Check whether the IP address in FTP Server Configuration is consistent with the IP
address of the PC.
If the IP addresses are inconsistent, modify them and restart the NIC to make the
modification take effect. (Caution: Restart the NIC program instead of the Internet
Explorer.)
20. Check whether the user has the operation right.
It is recommended to collect data as the admin user; otherwise, the collection may fail
due to lack of rights to certain collection items.
Check whether the user has the right to operate MML commands. If not, collecting
configuration files and MML commands may fail.
Check whether the user has the right to back up configuration files. If not, collecting
configuration files may fail.
Check whether the user has the right to run the BIN command. If not, collecting
performance measurement data may fail.
8.2.5 Why Does It Take Time for the NIC to Collect Inspection
Data?
21. Check whether the BSC6000 mediation layer of the NIC V100R006C00T downloaded
from http://support.huawei.com.

22. Check whether the default SOP scenario of the NIC is used for collection (it is
unnecessary to collect the massive data such as logs for inspection or SOP).
23. At present, the NIC reports the progress according to collection items. The execution
sequence of the collection items may change each time when a task is created. If the
amount of the data collected by the first collection item is large, the required time is
longer and displayed as X%.
24. The execution sequence of collection items may change each time when a task is created.
When the items with a small amount of data are collected in priority, it seems that the
collection becomes faster.
25. If the collection progress does not change for a long time, send the log information to
R&D engineers to check whether the NIC is still collecting data.
8.2.6 How to Add NEs More Efficiently by Using the Batch Import
Function?
26. Choose NE Management > NE Information Maintenance, and then click Batch
Manage.
27. On the Batch Manage page, click Download Template to save the template to the local
PC.

28. Open the batch import template (*.xls) downloaded to the local PC and generate an XML
file according to the description.
The generated XML file is saved in the NEList folder in the same-level directory as the XLS template.
29. On the Batch Manage page, click Browse, select the XML file, and then click Import.
30. After the XML file is imported, click OK.

8.2.7 The System Prompts "Please check whether the NIC

application services and the database services run normally."
During Batch Management of NEs
It is a bug of the NIC V100R005C00SPC200. This error occurs when the imported XML file
contains Chinese characters because the default XML code is UTF-8. You can use one of the
following methods to solve this problem:
31. Modify the NE name to contain only English characters.
32. Modify the XML code to GB2312.
If you have any question, contact development engineers.
8.3 FAQs Related to the OMStar and the Transdata

8.3.1 The System Prompts the Incorrect Program Configuration at
Startup of the Transdata
The possible cause is that the OS of an earlier version is installed on the PC.
Solution:
Install the vcredist_x86.exe patch.
vcredist_x86.exe

8.3.2 The System Prompts Project Information Loading Failure

and Invalid Parameters at Startup of the Transdata
This error occurs when the Nastar CS Transdata or the CDMA Transdata was deployed on the
PC but the project library was directly deleted from the PC.
This prompt does not affect other project operations. You can directly click OK and then
proceed according to the normal procedure.
8.3.3 How to Handle the Automatic Import and Analysis Failure

of the Transdata?
33. Check whether the current PC has disk D.
By default, databases are automatically created on disk D for automatic import and
analysis of the OMStar in one-key mode. If the PC does not have disk D, automatic data
import may fail.
Solution:
Open the config.ini file in the following path:
Installation directoryOMStar V500R001\Mini_OMStar\config.ini
Find the DBPATH field, and then rplace the D as an available drive letter (with the
free space of at least 2 GB) of the local PC next to the = symbol.

34. Check whether the name of the NIC collection task complies with specifications.
During the automatic import and analysis of the OMStar in one-key mode, the name of
the project database has character restrictions, which must be noted when users create
collection tasks on the NIC. For details, see Step 76 in section 5.3.3"Creating a
Collection Task."
Task Name: The name of the collection task for inspection or SOP can contain only
letters (az and AZ), numbers (09), and underline (_).
Solution:
Use the suggested characters to name the collection tasks created by using the NIC.
If the collection with the invalid NIC task name is complete, use the following
method to avoid re-collection:

Find the directory for saving the collected data package (see section 5.3.4"Viewing the
Collection Result"), and then modify the task name correctly.
35. Check whether the installation of the SQL Server meets requirements.
If the MSDE 2000 needs to be installed, be sure to use the MSDE is encapsulated by
Genex. See section 8.1.2"Can the MSDE 2000 Be Used?"
If the SQL Server 2000 is installed, ensure that the collation rules meet the
requirements of the OMStar (see Step 15 in section 2.1"Installing the SQL Server
2000 Personal Edition").
If the SQL Server 2000 has been installed, verify the installation as follows:
Choose Microsoft SQL Server > Enterprise Manager.
Check the properties of the local services and ensure that the collation rule is
SQL_Latin1_Gerenal_CP1_CI_AS.

8.3.4 Is the OMStar Compatible with Office 2007?

The OMStar V005R001C00SPC120 and earlier versions do not support Office 2007. The
OMStar V005R001C00SPC200 and later versions can support Office 2007.
8.3.5 Does the OMStar Support Windows 7?

The compatibility test is in progress. The OMStar V005R001C00SPC200 does not support
Windows 7 temporarily.
