Huawei CFGMML for NodeB

[leopedrini]

Hello (Huawei) experts. I have a question about MML commands in Huawei RAN14, and i would like to get your advice.

1) To get all information (parameters) 3G (WCDMA) RNC i use the command 'EXP CFGMML', and it generate a file with all info i need. It's easy to parse it's content, and insert data into Access/Excel tables.

But... the parameters are from RNC side.

2) My question is: how can i get all parameters from 'NodeB' side? Is there some way like CGFMML for RNC parameters? Or should i need another way?

I need some information as Boards, UL/DL Group, E1T1, etc... all nodeb side.

The workaround i use is not so good: i open M2000, go to MML tab, select all NodeB's, run each command, save all results in a text file, and parse it into another database.

It works, but i think there's another (better) way to get this done.

Note: I've tried to select all nodeb, but there's no 'EXP CFGMML' command.

Instead, i need to select all nodeb's and run a lot of commands (like DSP BRD:;, DSP E1T1:;, LST BRDINFO:;...).

Thanks in advance.

Did you already try to get the "*.xml" from NodeB?

You can download from the m2000 server or directly from the NodeB.

Hello rfsupp,

It would be nice if i could get *.xml file.

Do you know how can i get it via M2000 server?

Is it the EXP DEVFILE command?

When i run this command, it says the xml file is generated. But it doesn't say it's location, folder where i can find it.

If you know this path, please let me know.

Thank You very much.

go to:
/export/home/omc/var/fileint/

Under this folder, there should be : cm or conf
then there should be export or autoexport

Then you will find a bunch of file named: *CM*RNCNAME*Date*.xml

Please share your feedback and correct path.

Hello TelcoConsultant,
Thank You very much.

Yes, i could find these files there, but unfortunately NodeB's xml seems don't have ALL information i need.
For example, for each nodeb xml i can find UL Group information, but i cannot find DL Group.

Just to let you know, I wrote a macro that parses all CFGBCP files, and another that parses all CFGMML files into databases.
I have another one that takes all saved information (from MML commands like LST ULGROUP, LST DLGROUP, LST BBPTC, etc...) and also put it on a database.

I do this on a daily basis, so i can have a lot of consistency checks, DL/UL GROUP balance, etc...

PS: I just create one other macro using xlst that parses that xml files into an Access Database - there i could find also that even for RNC files, we don't some information available in both CFGBCP and CFGMML, like some tables 'TYP*'.
Another (small) problem with this kind of files is that it's generated by a system task, but i don't have acces to it, so it's hard for me to generate these files on demand - as is possible with cfgmml.

Anyway, thanks for your reply.

If i ever find an easier way to do this i post here.

For now, i think i will have to continue to use my manual commands way for nodeb's...

BR,
