6 Installation And Configuration Notes

• To install TEMS Discovery software double click on Setup.exe file.
• TEMS.Core.dll is manipulated for anti-piracy reasons and may be falsely
detected by some antivirus programs as Trojan. It is recommended to explicitly
exclude it from any antivirus program.
• Floating license .lpp license profile path is specified in _td.config file as of TDE
version 12.0.3. If no parameter is defined, default location
C:\ProgramData\TEMS\TEMS Mediator\LicenseControlCenter\LicenseProfiles
will be used.
• During installation SQL collation must be set to
SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS.
• ENUx64SQLSysClrTypes.msi and ENUx64SharedManagementObjects.msi will
not be installed automatically if SQL Server and TEMS Discovery Enterprise are
installed in different machines and need to be ran manually (x86 version of msi
files should be installed on 32bit machines).

 10 Known Bugs and Limitations
• Official support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL
Enterprise 2008 was discontinued as of TD version 21.0.0 NEW
• Random log files may rarely fail to import with ‘RouteReaderInternalException:
Unable to open logfile: No license to open specified file’ exception. Suggested
workaround is to reimport log file in question.
• Data points may not be fully aligned with GIS layer when covering large area
due to the fact that GIS and online map use different projections and data is
aligned to the latter. This area will be revisited for improvements following major
release 20.0.
• ‘Download TerraServer Image/Maps’ option access is limited to OpenStreetMap
and ‘United States Elevation Data (NED) (10m Resolution)’ data sources due to
GlobalMapper licensing limitations.
• Oracle VirtualBox virtual machines are not supported with GLS licensing.
• Due to updates in internal data mapping all log files imported in version 12.1.0
will need to be re-imported to maintain EcIo reporting in 'WCDMA Cell
Measurements' data frame in versions 12.1.1 and later
• Support for TEMS Pocket and TEMS Automatic MTU .log files was removed in
TD 11.1.5 version. Support for TEMS Investigation.log fles (version 13.x and
older) was removed in TD 10.0.8.
• Starting with version 12.0.3 file reference will be removed from Task Window
after successful import via ADP in order to improve UI responsiveness. All log
files that fail to import will remain in Task Window.
• Support for QMDL data format removed as of TD 11.1.10 version. Users may
convert QMDL file to DLF format before data import.
• Pre-defined metric import configurations are made read only as of TD version
11.1.8. Any customization made to pre-defined metric import configurations
should be saved with user defined name to prevent loss of information.
• Support for obsolete MTU and Pocket logfile formats (LZM, LZZ and TPZ) is
discontinued as of TD 11.1.5 version
• 'Google Earth Standalone' feature removed in 11.1.0 due to incompatibility with
Google earth plugin
• TDManagementConsole feature removed in 11.1.0; ‘Log File Execution
History’, ‘Log File Execution History via SMTP’ and ‘TDE Event Log’ features
may be used instead
• Support for Nokia devices is discontinued as of TD 10.0.8
• Nemo Handy generic format is not supported; Nemo Handy log files may be
imported if converted to .nmf format in Nemo File Manager (indoor waypoints
data will be lost during conversion however GPS location data will be
preserved)
• ‘TD top menu in Russian’ feature is supported for 64-bit Windows OS only
• Import of WAV files is no longer supported after switching from 32b to 64b
application version

16 NT14-30479, 0.1,3/20/2019
 • Report output including scanner data may be populated for non-scanner
devices due to internal data sharing between devices; The workaround is to
deploy device based filtering for non-scanner device.
• TEMS Pocket log files not including IP trace data will generate false Service
setup failure event.
• SR00068616: Report cannot be generated completely if the template was last
saved in Report Template Builder:
The third-party component used by TEMS Discovery is not fully compatible with
*.xlsx files. Therefore, it is recommended that the user save a report template
with MS Excel.
• Attempt of resizing TEMS Discovery window during the import of GIS data may
cause the application to pause GIS data import.
• RAN Tuning Reports may show blank fields if the IEs defined in the reports are
not available from data sources.
• TEMS Pocket 14.0 and 14.1 logfiles including time based HTTP and FTP
service testing will not generate KPI events. File based HTTP and FTP service
testing are not impacted of this limitation
