NSDB Circuit Inventory Gateway

1.000 Release Highlights

The NSDB Circuit Inventory Gateway provides REACT with the capability to interface with the NSDB
system over TCIS/TOPCOM. The following enhancements have been included in this release:
Provided support for multiple installations on the same platform to connect to more than
one NSDB system (one-to-one relationship between the instance of the interface and the
NSDB system)
Increased buffer size for multipoint circuits
Provided a cron job to restart the NSDB server and FCIF parser as needed
Added a REACT config.sys option HNIS_CKTS which specifies whether the circuit access
code (CAC) or circuit layout order (CLO) request types are supported
Added REACT config.sys options to enable the database server timeout to be independent
from all other timeouts in REACT
- DB_SERVER_COMM_TO_HDI_TIMEOUT (Sets database server communication to
Hekimian Database Interface [HDI])
- GUI_COMM_TO_DB_SERVER_TIMEOUT (Sets GUI communication to the database server)
NOTE: The GUI_COMM_TO_DB_TIMEOUT cannot be less than the
DB_SERVER_COMM_TO_HDI_TIMEOUT.
Additionally, the HDI Multiplexer Module Release 1.000 can be used with the NSDB Circuit Inventory
Gateway to fetch circuits from multiple NSDB systems from a single instance of the interface. With
this module, REACT sends a circuit request through the HDI Multiplexer, which is configured to
broadcast the circuit request to multiple NSDB systems. If only one circuit is returned, the circuit is
displayed in the REACT GUI. If multiple circuits are returned, the circuit that matches the requested
circuit ID is displayed in the REACT GUI.

4. The TCIS server
retrieves the circuit
in FCIF format from
the NSDB source.
5. The TCIS server sends
the data to the NSDB
Gateway Server.
8. The HDI circuit
message is
returned to the
requesting OSS.
3. The request is forwarded to
the NSDB gateway server,
which sends the request to
the TCIS server via TOPCOM.
1. Spirents OSS
requests a circuit.
2. The HDI circuit
request is sent to
the FCIF Parser.
6. The circuit data is forwarded
to the FCIF Parser.
7. The FCIF Parser receives the
circuit data and generates a
circuit message in HDI format
