Operations on BAM Server

TELLIN-USAU
1 BAM Server Operations Routine Operation Manual
1.1 Overview
The universal signaling access unit (USAU) adopts the Client/Server structure.
Each maintenance terminal is the client of the entire system, and provides the maintenance
and operation functions.
The back administration module (BAM) is the server of the entire system, and provides the
multi-point maintenance and remote maintenance.
As the server, the BAM performs two main functions, as follows:
z The function of database
Implementing the storage and transferring data such as alarm information, traffic
statistics data
z The function as the bridge of communication between the USAU host and the
maintenance terminal
Sending the maintenance and operation commands from a client (remote/local) to the
USAU host and receiving the execution results from the host
The BAM server application software includes a service process manager (BAM Manager)
and several processes (such as Warn and Dataman) based on:
z Windows 2000 Server operating system
z MS SQL Server 2000 database system
1.2 BAM Manager

Starting BAM Manager
The BAM Manager is auto started when the operating system is started. The BAM service of
the USAU monitors whether the BAM Manager is started. If not, the computer will be
restarted. The BAM Manager startup window is as shown in Figure 1-1.

The BAM Manager can be used to monitor and manage various processes running on the
BAM Server at the same time, including:
z Alarming
z Data management
z Maintenance
z Performance monitoring
z MML command
z Switching
z Traffic statistics task management
The BAM Manager provides three options to manage processes as listed in Table 1-3.

The Start and Stop options in the File menu are enabled or disabled based on whether the selected
process is running or stopped. That is:
The Start option is enabled only when the process is stopped.
The Stop option is enabled only when the process is running.
Monitoring Process in Real Time

This function will monitor each process whose startup mode is Automatic or System. If a
process whose startup mode is Automatic or System is stopped or some exception causes it
to stop, it will be auto restarted. The status of each process will be updated in the Status
column of the BAM Manager interface. If real-time monitoring is not enabled then the
process has to be restarted manually in case the process is stopped or an exception causes the
process to stop functioning.
To enable real-time monitoring, choose Options > Realtime Monitor or click on the
tool bar.

TELLIN-USAU
Configuring Server Startup Information

Through configuring the startup information you can specify how to start the BAM Server
when the computer is restarted. The startup includes the following four types:
z Automatic: The BAM Server is auto started up when the system starts up.
z Manual: The BAM Server is started up manually after the system starts up.
z Disabled: The BAM Server startup is not allowed.
z System: The startup mode of the BAM Server is specified by the system.
To configure the startup information, choose Options > Startup menu or click on the
tool bar. The dialog box as shown in Figure 1-2 will pop up.
Figure 1-2 Configuring startup information
Choose the proper option and then click OK.
In normal cases, the Startup Type is set to Automatic.
1.3 BAM Service Management

The BAM Service is mainly used to monitor whether the BAM Manager is active or not.
When the BAM Service runs normally, it will auto restart the BAM Server if it finds the BAM
Manager has exited, which is equivalent to the function of Software Watchdog.
During the system debugging, this function can be controlled manually in the following
procedure:
Step 1 Choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services in the BAM. The Services
window is displayed as shown in Figure 1-3.

TELLIN-USAU

There are three options for Startup type, as shown in Table 1-4.
Table 1-4 Startup types of BAM Service

Startup Types Meanings
Automatic The BAM Service will be auto restarted if it is found to be in the

stopped status.
Manual It is required to restart the BAM Service manually.
Disable It is forbidden to auto start the BAM Service.
In normal cases, the Startup type is set to Automatic.
----End
1.4 Application of the File STXBAM.ini

All the configuration information of the USAU is included in the file STXBAM.ini. The
default path to the file is D:\SAU.
The initialization information of the BAM is saved in the BAM configuration file
STXBAM.ini. The information is of great importance to the operation of the BAM; therefore,
in normal cases do not modify the values, especially those values with remarks specifying that
the value cannot be modified.
If you must modify the value of a certain registration item, it is better to close the
corresponding application before modifying.
Before modifying the STXBAM.ini text file, you must back it up and rename it for the sake
of recovery operation if an error occurs in the modification. And then double-click the
STXBAM.ini file. An editor window pops up, as shown in Figure 1-5. Modify the content of
the sub-item according to actual needs. After you finish the modification, restart the process
this sub-item belongs to, and it will make the modification take effect.

TELLIN-USAU
Figure 1-5 Editing STXBAM.ini
z Enter a character string if the set item is a character string.

z Enter XXXXX (X is a decimal number) if the set item is a decimal number.
z Enter 0xXXXX (X is a hexadecimal number) if the set item is a hexadecimal number.
1.5 Data Backup

Data backup is to back up the data crucial to the normal running of the system. All the
configuration data are stored in the BAM database. It is very important to backup the data
regularly. In case the data are corrupted due to some hardware or software problems, the data
can be restored from the backup. The USAU database backup operation mainly aims at:
z BAM database
z BAM registry
There are two modes for backing up the BAM database and the registry:
z Automatic backup
z Manual backup
1.5.1 Automatic Backup

The default backup auto starts at 4:30 am each day. The backup data file is under F:\SAU by
default.
You must ensure that there is enough disk space in disk F.

At least 22 backup media are required for the backup (22 erasable/writable CDs or 22 tapes),
among which:
6 backup media: used to save the data backup from Monday to Saturday of the current week
(ordinary backup)
4 backup media: used to save the data backup of the recent four Sundays (weekly backup)
The remaining 12 backup media: used to save the data backup of day 1 of each month in the
current year (monthly backup)

TELLIN-USAU
Automatic Backup of BAM Database

The backup of the BAM database is performed in a scrolling manner and up to 11 database
files can be backed up. The backup file of the BAM database includes:
z Data backup in the recent seven days (except Sunday). These six files are named in the
following format: BamYYYYMMDD.dat.
z Database backup on recent four Sundays during the past 28 days. These four files are
named in the following format: BamYYYYMMDD.dat.
z Backup of the BAM database on the first day of each month, which is named in the
following format: BamMonthBak.dat.
Automatic Backup of BAM Registry

The registration information of the BAM in the Windows 2000 registry is auto backed up each
day. Only the latest backup is retained with the file name BamReg.bak.
In the STXBAM.ini file, start time for automatic backup of BAM database and registry can be set by
modifying the following setting in the DataMan:
BkpDbStartHour (start hour for database backup)
BkpDbStartMin (start minute for database backup)
The DataMan process has to be restarted for the new setting to take effect after the automatic backup
time is modified.
In the format YYYYMMDD, YYYY stands for the year, MM stands for the month, and DD stands for
the date. For example, 20041230 stands for Dec. 30, 2004.
1.5.2 Manual Backup

You have to back up the BAM database and the registry manually before upgrading or loading
in the special situations such as:
z Expansion
z Upgrading
z Loading
There are two ways in which manual backup can be accomplished:
Manual Backup Through Command (BKP DB)

In MML window run BKP DB to back up the current BAM database and the registry under
the default directory F:\USAU.
Manual Backup Through Enterprise Manager of SQL Server

Step 1 In the Windows 2000 Server on the BAM, choose Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL
Server and log in to the Enterprise Manager. The Enterprise Manager window is displayed as
shown in Figure 1-6.

TELLIN-USAU
Figure 1-6 Enterprise Manager
Step 2 Suppose the name of the BAM is L24094B (Windows NT). Browse to Console Root >
Microsoft SQL Servers > L24094B (Windows NT) > Databases. Right-click on Databases.
A menu pops up as shown in Figure 1-7.
Figure 1-7 SQL Server Enterprise Manager

TELLIN-USAU
Step 3 Choose All Tasks > Backup Database. A window pops up as shown in Figure 1-8.
Step 4 Choose Bam from the Database box to specify the database to be backed up.
Step 5 Under Backup, specify to back up all the data or data that has been modified.
Step 6 Under Destination, choose the default data backup file name and click Remove to remove the
value. Then click Add to set the path where the backup file is located and the file name as
Step 7 Under Overwrite, choose Overwrite existing media if you want to overwrite on the existing
data. If you do not want to overwrite the data, choose Append to media and then click OK.

TELLIN-USAU
Figure 1-9 Selecting the path and name of the backup data file
Step 8 The backup is started after confirmation. The progress of the backup process is displayed as
Figure 1-10 Backup progress

TELLIN-USAU
Step 9 After the data are backed up successfully, a prompt will pop up to indicate the success.
For BAM database backup, the system does not back up the data in the transaction log in the
case of BKP DB command while it does in the case of SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
The file generated from manual backup is named based on the date. If it is necessary to take
backups several times within one day, the file name of the last backup has to be modified
manually.
Before BAM database backup, run the command for supplementary service data backup to
ensure that the data of the services stored in the BAM database is the latest one.
----End
Manual Backup of the Registry

Step 1 Choose Start > Run menu. Enter and run the command regedit to open the registry editor. In
the navigation tree on the left of the window, choose the item HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
> SOFTWARE > HuaWei > USAU.
Step 2 Choose Registry > Export Registry File menu. The Export Registry File window is
displayed as shown in Step 3.

TELLIN-USAU
Step 3 Choose the path to save the file and enter the file name. Click Save.
----End
1.6 Data Recovery

The operation of data recovery is carried out on the BAM in the following two ways:
z Run the installation program of the terminal system
z Use the SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool
It is recommended to run the installation program to recover the data.
1.6.1 Through Installation Program

If the BAM environment and data have been backed up before, you can choose Restore SAU
Environment and Data in the Setup Instruction page in the installation process to restore
the SAU environment and data from the backup file.
1.6.2 Through SQL Server Enterprise Manager

The data recovery procedure by using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager includes four steps.
Step 1 Close the BAM Service process.
Step 2 Exit all BAM processes and close the BAM Manager.
Step 3 Stop and restart the SQL Server.
Step 4 Start the Enterprise Manager to restore the data.
----End
BAM Service will surely restart Windows 2000 when it detects the BAM system has stopped running
during data recovery. However, the BAM must stop running during the data recovery. To avoid Windows
2000 from being restarted, BAM Service must be stopped before data recovery.
Stop BAM Service Process

Step 1 Choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services. The Services window is
displayed as shown in Figure 1-12.

1.7 BAM Communication Gateway

The communication gateway tool is an add-on software and is an expansion of the BAM
communication layer. It is used for the mutual conversion of messages between Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and the serial port. On one hand, the connection
is set up between the software and BAM through TCP/IP. On the other hand, the software is
connected with other serial port equipment through the serial port so that the data can be
transferred transparently between the BAM and the serial port equipment.
For the BAM, the command sent from any serial port equipment is considered as being sent
from an IP address, and the data sent from BAM is considered to flow to an IP address. The
possibility that the data may eventually drop on serial port equipment, such as the super
terminal or alarm box, is not taken into consideration.
Start Conditions
The conversion relationship between each serial port and TCP/IP created by the
communication gateway software is called a connection. The software supports several
connection instances with each of them monitored by a conversion thread, which can be set
up or closed at any time.
The software can directly run on the BAM, or run on the LAN where the BAM is located, or
even on any machine capable of TCP/IP communication with the BAM on WAN, and the
serial port of the machine can be used to provide services to the client WS.
Starting BAM Communication Gateway

On the server maintenance terminal, choose Start > Programs > SAU Operation and
Maintenance Center > SAU Server Gateway Tool. The BAM Communication Gateway is
started as shown in Figure 1-19.
Figure 1-19 BAM communication gateway
If there are some connections made successfully in the previous running process, the system
will auto record the connection configuration information in the registry (path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > huawei > USAU > convert). If the
automatic reconnection function is set for some of them, those connections will be auto

2.4 the Client

2.4.1 Overview
By default, the system sets the expiry day of a new account to Jan. 1, 1980. So when logging
in to the system for the first time, you should modify the password at once because it is due. If
you should not modify the password, you are forced to exit the LMT.
As for the account that has been used to log in to the system, the system auto checks the
expiry day of the password against each login. The prompts are as follows:
z If the password comes to the threshold of prompting expiry days of password, the LMT
prompts the user to modify the password, which is not forceable.
z If the password is due, the LMT forces the user to modify the password. In this case,
when the user refuses to modify the password, he is forced to exit the LMT.
Any password, if being input incorrectly for five times (default), will be locked by the system.
In this case, the user cannot log in to the system. The administrator can unlock the locked
password by means of password modification. If the administrator account Admin is locked,
the locked duration is five minutes (default). After five minutes, it is unlocked.
z The account of the system administrator is fixed as "Admin". The account of the common operator is
defined by the operator according to actual situations.
z When repeated login occurs at a WS, the system prompts " This BAM has already been login by
other maintenance system, Please select another BAM!", as only one user can use the same WS.
z If the user logs in the maintenance WS without setting any office data, the system pops up a dialog
box prompting the user to run the alarm panel to set the office data before logging in the system.
z If a password is input repeatedly wrongly for five times (default), you should not use this account to
log in to the system.
2.4.2 Logging in
The Operator Login dialog box pops up as shown in Figure 2-3 every time you log in the
client.
Input the appropriate values for Operator Name and Password. Choose the proper Office
Name if several offices exist. The Client will be entered after confirmation. In the case of
failure, please check if the IP address, user name or password is correct.
The operator names and passwords of ordinary operators are set by the system administrator.
The Operator name and Password are case-sensitive .

2.5 Changing Password and Default Password

2.5.1 Changing Password
An ordinary operator can change his password by selecting System > Change Password on
the USAU Client main interface.
z An ordinary operator can only change his own password and he should provide the
correct old password when changing it. If an ordinary operator fails to remember his
password, he has to contact the system administrator to get a new one.
z When the system administrator changes his own password, he must provide the correct
old password. However, when modifying the password of an ordinary operator, the
system administrator does not need to provide the ordinary operators old password.

TELLIN-USAU
z The password should be updated once every 90 days (default).

z You cannot use any one of the five passwords (default) that have been used in the nearest
past.
z The password should contain at least six characters (default), consisting of numbers and

2.8 Using Command Time Out Setting

Choose System > Command Timeout Setting on the USAU Client main interface and the
Command Time Out window pops up as shown in Table 2-6.
Figure 2-6 Command time out setting
You can set the MML Command Time Out and Monitor Command Time Out in the
window as follows:
z MML Command Time Out
A MML command will be treated as a failure if it costs more time than being specified
by this value from submitting of this command to returning of the results. The variable
ranges from 20 to 600 and it is 80 seconds by default.
z Monitor Command Time Out
A binary command will be treated as a failure if it costs more time than being specified
by this value from submitting of this command to returning of the results. The variable
ranges from 10 to 100 and it is 20 seconds by default.
The binary commands are usually some commands for maintenance operations, for example, the GUI
operations or query of the CPU occupation rate. They are not the operations through the MML
commands.
2.9 Saving Input Command and End Command Saving

It is available to save, in the form of text, a batch of commands that are executed in sequence.
If the same set of operations is to be executed again, you can invoke the file directly without
inputting the commands one by one. This file can be conveniently edited with tools like
Notepad. In addition, the commands under execution can be auto written into such file by
means of Log Commands or Stop Logging Commands.
Step 1 On the USAU Client main interface, choose System > Log Commands or press the shortcut
keys Ctrl+S and a dialog box is shown.
Step 2 By default the file name is given in the following format: CMD-Year Month Date Hour
Minute.txt, where Year, Month, Date, Hour and Minute are of 2-digit. The default
directory of the file is D:\SAU\Output. Of course, you can specify a directory by yourself as

TELLIN-USAU
required. We recommend you to use the default path. After confirmation, the Log
Commands menu under System changes to Stop Logging Commands.
Step 3 Input and run a batch of commands in the MML command input box. Choose System > Stop
Save Input Commands and then the batch of commands will be auto saved under the default
directory D:\SAU\Output. Meanwhile, the Stop Save Input Commands menu will change
to Save Input Commands. After that, you are free to read the batch file in text format under
the specified directory.

3.4 Command Group Management

Command group is adopted in the USAU system to assign authority to operator or WS. In
order to improve the efficiency of authority management, a set of related commands are
organized into a command group and the command group, instead of each command, is
assigned to a WS or an operator.
There are some command groups that are already defined by the system, as follows:
z Subscriber management
z Ticket query
z GUEST
z SYS
Operator can directly modify and use these command groups except SYS. In addition, some
empty command groups are reserved so that operator can define commands included as per
the requirements.
Only system administrator has the right to perform various operations regarding authority management.
The procedure of command group management is as follows:

Step 1 Choose Authority > Command Group > Modify Command Item on the USAU Client
main interface. A dialog box for selecting command group is displayed.
Step 2 Choose the command group to which the commands must be added and click OK. The
Command Group Authority Setting window pops up.
Step 3 Choose the commands included in the group according to actual situations and click OK.
System administrator has the right to modify commands in any command group, while such operation
can only be performed through the super WS. If it is done on any other WS, a message will be displayed
indicating the WS does not have the adequate authority.
It is also possible to set a command group by running ADD CCG in the MML input window.

5 Alarm Workstation Operations Routine Operation Manual
5.1 Overview
Alarm management is a part of fault management, performing the following operations to
handle the abnormity of the device modules that are managed:
z Detection
z Isolation
z Correction
When a fault on the device side may affect the service provided for the subscriber, the device
modules generate an alarm, and the alarm management module of the BAM reports the alarm
information to the user, such as:
z Detection of transmission data errors
z Violation of a performance threshold
z Detection of faulty equipment
Based on the alarm reported from the BAM, the user can take proper actions to set right the
problem in the device. In this way, the alarm reporting provides the BAM with the ability to
monitor the device module failures in real time.
The alarm WS can be used for:
z Viewing the real-time Fault/Event alarms
z Browsing the Fault, Recovery, Event and History alarms
z Querying the alarms based on the query condition
z Deleting the history alarms
z Filtering alarm
z Shielding alarms
z Querying the additional parameters (detailed information) based on the alarm number
z Setting alarm configuration information
z Querying the statistics of alarms according to alarm box type and network management
type
z Setting and querying the screen level of the alarm box
z Setting the colours for alarms of different severity
